It's released in a couple of weeks over here and IGN have just reviewed the US version.
8.1 - they said it was a great experience, but with archaic controls and most definitely a case of style over gameplay. However, apparently the puzzles are decent, the shooty bits are great and there are some crazy bosses, and overall it sounds excellent. I'm definitely getting it. It's good to know that it isn't a complete failure, as it easily could have been.
Bring on the 15th.

I see your point, however the multiplayer wasn't really that amazing, especially for a game that has been in production for a very, very long time. Sorry Rare, its not good enough.
Which is why most of their time was spent on the new multiplayer with the old single player being just a bonus.
Well, I found Fable thoroughly enjoyable despite its length. But they did spend over 3 years on it.....
Lionhead are a bit like Rare (or vice versa) - their productivity rate seems to just die over at their headquarters. And there wasn't any need to remake Conker.

XIII was great, an FPS with a proper story for once.
This looks good, I like these sort of odd games.
Style over gameplay? Worked for Fable.

Not meaning to disagree with you all the time (I'm a bit of a cynical old fart anyway), but I thought XIII was far too generic in terms of the formula used throughout. Initially it was amazing, but it got a little stale.
As for Killer 7 it looks pretty top dog. I have a lot of faith in Capcom (I'm still plugging away at Viewtiful Joe) and I've seen how the game plays. Weird, linear but innovative.

Great im getting it then,was like at screenshots and reading a review of it in playstation official today,they gave it 8/10 in that and 9/10 for the graphics I think it looks great. Capcom have really put some thought into this game this time.

I found XIII to be a great FPS, one of the best of this generation.
It was like Serious Sam, but fun.
