"Freedom Fighters"

This should be arriving for me tommorrow (I hope).

I shall let you all know what its like and if its worth it, but based on Hitman 2, it should be brilliant.

Especially firefights down New York streets, with all your resistance fighters against hordes of Sovs.

The fact that you have to manually operate it all the time. Oh and the excellent moment when I entered a building and had no idea that there was about 10 enemies shooting me on my right side, because of the way the camera was facing.

Still, Hitman 2 annoyed the crap out of me at first but soon came to be one of the best games I've ever had the joy of playing.

Sorry Hedfix the demo only has a playable mission.

As for Freedom Fighters, I can't see where the camera problem steps in. I didn't have any problems at all.

Played the Xbox demo and while it was quite good, the camera sucked and the controls got on my t*ts. I'll give it another shot at some point, but I'll probably end up getting it on budget.

Can you tell me what the 'head to head' mode is on the PS2?

I'm hoping it is a sort of deathmatch, if so I expect to see it on the Cube version.

No need to rent, played the Xbox and PS2 demos. Didn't like anymore than I liked the first and I never play multiplayer games so its a waste of a game which I would be able to complete in a maximum of 2 days.

True. However I'd still suggest you rent it and see. ;)

I loved the first Conflict game... really.

I think I've probably clocked up more hours on this than I have on any of my other Gamecube titles, except maybe Skies Of Arcadia.

Although I admit if you're not going to play it in either two-player or four-player you're not going to get even half the fun out of it, as the single-player is quite honestly average, but I've been lucky enough to have some mates that enjoy this kind of game too, so I've got my money's worth out of it.

This is why I'm looking forward to Conflict 2. It's apparently got what the original has, and then some. Although it isn't meant to be a vast improvement, I'll still like it, I'm sure.

Shame it isn't out for ages on the Cube.

You thought the first was really good and I didn't.

Taken from elsewhere.

There are more animations but no were near the amount I was expecting.

Not being a fan of multiplayer games meant that the first was over too quickly. I fear the same thing for the second as well.
