"Full Spectrum Warrior review..."

9.2 from IGN, looking just as good as imagined.

2 player CO-OP is supposedly excellent, visuals top notch, audio top notch, awesome LIVE play and a quality single player. Quite complicated to get to grips with by all accounts and edging slightly towards the style of Rainbow Six: Raven Shield on the PC but I think this will be a very welcomed change for Xbox LIVE.

In CO-OP you play against the enemy AI however there appears to be NO deathmatch or team deathmatch despite this being widely talked about for months now...

Was looking forward to LIVE play so CO-OP should be enough, not only that but the single player is apparently sweet from start to finish and it is extremely challenging on higher difficulties.

Just abouts to orde rthe US version now so I will hopefully have it by weekend, will let everyone know what I personally think then...

Just ordered the US version, should have it this time next week.

For me, the fact that you don't directly control your team is more of an incentive than anything else. This time last year, the most trendy thing to do, for some reason best known to the publishers, was to develop a squad based tactical shooter - and now we've got enough to last us ages.

We really don't need any more, so I'm personally liking the look of this new spin on the genre as it'll inject some life into a now tired formula.

I was put off by that too, but I had a shot of an interactive video and it was pretty interesting. It showed the team working their way through a situation, and at the key points it gave you 4 options. Each option made your team work in a different manner and the end result depended on your decision. If you made the right one, your team made it through no problem, however, choose a less than perfect option and half your team would most likely be wiped out. It was only a short demo, but I can imagine the full game being very addictive.

Only 3 reviews, but look at that average score.

Now that did make me laugh out loud.

And not for the obvious reason that there's a spelling mistake...

Hoho.

I probably will phone them up.

After my birthday excusrion...

Oh yes.

I wanted you to phone them and shout abuse at some poor French student...

Tad late, maybe?

Emailing?

Poor.

Phoning is so much more agressive..

I emailed them. If that fails, phone it be.

I made a point of how much money I spent on Live. LOTS!

haha, like, schya!
