11.99 damn that's good. My credit card bill is bad enough, and I have to physically stop myself from pressing the "confirm order" button. All the details were in.
Nearly. You Nearly had me....................
(Seriously though, that's damn good offer. I know next week I'll be kicking myself for not ordering, but I'll have to keep myself occupied with Grandia II)
Still, I was unhappy with the packaging (naff dvd case and 3 loose plastic sheathed cd's. This is NOT the version I saw in HMV, bu tthis would explain the cheaper price) but the game is pretty cool. Excellent graphical style and music gives it that definitive "french" feel, and since the story is basically lifted from "The Bourne Identity" it can't really fail. ;)
Amusing, and well worth the cash.
Anyway, it doesn't seem to affect the gameplay anyway, but i'd say there is a certain essence of unrealism (throwing knifes etc) but it is fast paced and well.....cool, it's got "average" reviews, but I quite enjoy it.
Although I doubt I will be using the multiplayer that much, it's a bit boring to be honest.
The storyline is excellent though, it unfolds like a film/comic book.
I hate having to delete stuff... Usually it's the mp3's that get the chop but I can't bear to part with them forever so I end up with hundereds of CD's full of mp3's. As long as the RIAA don't come round...
So I'm curious, does the cartoony imagery affect the gameplay in any way? I mean it looks like it could... but I don't know how or why.
But once done, the game is fecking cool. And I mean, cool
