Man, does any one know what DRIVER 3 is going to be like?

And few weeks ago, hackers brole in and stole the first 4 levels of HALF LIFE 2 (for the pc version) and stole it!! I SWEAR down, I am ot lying.

Thats why the game has been delayed 5 months, due to rebuilding the first three missions!. And is HALO 2 really going to be DA BEST? It look very similar to HALO! But is it worth that £50???

Is DRIVER 3 the best driving game? Thats what MICROSOFT and official xboxmagazine has been saying for 4 MONTHS! They say its gonna rock, hey gaved it 9.6 I think it was out of 10 . If thats true, then this IS the best game.

Any one knows for sure?

I was too very disappointed by Halo; ever since I found out my brother was getting an XBox for Christmas I couldn't wait to play Halo again, after loving a tiny go I had in a shop a year or so ago. But it seems Halo isn't as good as I expected.

I was thinking it was going to be one of the best games ever. I'm sure whether or not this is because it's not as 'fresh' as it was when first released (I'm not sure whether or not a lot of FPS' copied Halo's ideas etc.) But it certainly had a major flaw in the design.

Metroid Prime, on the other hand, I was surprised how great it was. While I had Zelda: Wind Waker pre-ordered about 3 months before release, I only ordered Prime a week before release. Yet I believe Prime is a much better game.

I just can't find any flaws in it; it's innovative, it's a dream to play, it's engrossing, the bosses are superb and as a whole, it's genius. Zelda too is great, but lacked something other Zelda titles had. Sure, if it was the first in the series I may have thought differently, but I'd played it all before.

Yeah, I agree. Halo is definately over-hyped.

The lack of AI bots (and online play, more forgiveable) is unforgivable.

Heh

I wouldn't even give Metroid Prime 9.7. The highest score I've ever given was 9.7, and that was to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Metroid Prime, I'd give 9.5. I prefer it a lot more to Halo.

> I agree 9.7 is very high. But it deserves more than 8 or even 8.5.

I stand by my score of 8.5. It's not like I played it with pre-set opinions either, I was incredibly excited when I first played Halo. I'd read so much about it and really was expecting the best FPS ever. I was very disappointed when I noticed it's flaws, even though I loved the gameplay.

driver 2 was edging towards a gta, you could get out your car, steal other cars. get a gun (i think i can't quite remember)and that was on the ps1, with new technology, better consoles and the brilliant games that can be made in this day and age i recon it will be amazing, i have seen clips and it looks like Gta. i recon it will be very good. also when it was on the ps1 it was one of the best games and cos competion has steped up a league it should be alot better

Does any one think Driver 3 is worth the £35? because the last series were kind of crap.

> P.S. There was only one poor level in Halo, the Library level.

Come on, you can't honestly say that. The levels are awful in Halo; the design is just so dire I found it hard to enjoy as much as I could have. Sure, it's a great game but that one flaw really demotes from the experience. Saying it's the best FPS ever, perhaps even best games ever is just stupid; it's not even the best FPS on the XBox.

Metroid Prime on the other hand, is genius. I've tried and tried, but can't find anything I dislike about it. Comparing the two is absurd.

In my humble opinion, anyway.
