Anyone else got this game?

I heard about it months ago, it was out in japan and they was on about will it or won't it be out in uk.

Next thing i know, it's out in uk and called SOS: final escape.
So because of the great GAME 10 day return policy, i got it, and it's GREAT!!!!

I can't find ANY reviews ANYWHERE on the net, but i'd recommend it.
It plays kind of Res evil style but there's no zombies to kill, and your trapped on an island after an earthquake. rescueing people and trying to find a way out, of the ever changing city.

There's multiply pathways aswell, you play a different game depending on what choices you make, so it's got some reply value aswel.

good game, i'm just wondering about the size of the game, hopin it's not over to quickly cos it's good.

If I remember correctly your in a building with multiple floors and escalators leading upwards....this is the way you need to go by the way.

You need to watch the bloke with the rocket launcher and watch the pattern of his patrol and then sneak round past him, using pillars or boxes etc as hiding points.

Can anyone help with hints on the level where the 2 thugs are out to get you with rocket launchers, this is right after you escape from the baseball field and run from the helicopter chasing you. I keep getting seen & killed before I can explore as to where to go

thanks

Hehe....I was stuck here for absolutely ages!

I will take no credit for the answer as oasismark who started this thread off told me the answer.

I will give you a clue, the seating plan is the area you need to go to, you need to search that room.

Post back if your still struggling :)

Well glad you've sorted it out, wasn't aware of the R2 which pulls your feet up :o

You can stop my friend I have cracked it at last. You have to press R2 and pull your feet up??? I wasnt aware of this and now I am continuing my journey. Thank you for taking the time to play through the game you could not have been far behind me. No doubt I will be back soon for more advice though. Once again many thanks.

Started again last night playing through on hard level, not looking for any of the compasses if I can help it.

So far I've played for an hour and 10 mins and have just met up with Greg (I think that's his name) the photographer. Don't think I'm that far behind you Sibak so if your still stuck I should be able to help you out better soon.

undertaker1956 how far behind you am I now?

You just need to walk up and press the action button, I think you've got to walk on top of the dust and then action, then the cut scene follows.
