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.

I have tried this but you can only go forward or back and it seems at only one speed and certainly not fast enough to beat the house ? If you can imagine a climbing bar where you can go hand over hand? However the girl is on top of the bar but there are no holes to climb up?
I am on point of throwing PS2 out of window arghhh. Thanks for your help though.

Hmm...trying to remember where you are, even from the description you gave.

Can you pull yourself up or go back so that the house doesn't hit you?

I am at Sana Katrina Hospital Watertank.
I am on a concrete tank and start to walk down a metal walkway over the river. Cut scene and I fall through and hang on, the girl goes on ahead and I am left to go hand over hand across the river avoiding cars but then a house floats along hits the walkway and always knocks me into the river ?

Welcome to the forums, glad someone did a bit of searching for a topic on this instead of just creating a new post.

Can you give a bit more information about where you are?

I can't remember exactly where you are, I've completed the game but how far through are you?

Help.....I am stuck hanging on a walkway over the river. The one with all the cars that float down and knock you off/ No problem with the cars but the building that crashes into the walkway knock me off every time. Any help glady received.

Yeah it's a good game, certainly different as at no point do you get the chance to have a gun of any sort in your hands.

Good puzzles although maybe a little short on gameplay. You may want to consider renting it first :)

I was reading a preview of this game and was quite interested. So, would you definitely recommend it?
