This thread has been linked to the game 'SOS: The Final Escape'.
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 just started playing it at six, taking a break. I'am off the bridge. Actually Karen is now lost and came across the fellow that has been killed!
Game seems pritty cool. Love the clips of the earthquake!

I thought exactly the same thing about my memory card but it seems to be taking saves so I'm ok at the moment :)
So far I've managed to get into the restaurant but I've died a couple of times mainly through falling into the water.

Just out of the bath and chillin! In about 30mins I'am gonna start playing it! Damn thingk I have to clean up my Memory Card first!
Ah...I see what you mean.
Hopefully I'll be able to spend quite a lot of time on this tonight, will be leaving bang on time from work so should be home at about 6ish so will fire it up as soon as I get in.
Looks like another long night, four days in a row now...tut tut tut :D

Sorry, i ment pathways as in, at one point you can choose who you go with, as the group splits up.
Not actual pathways as in paths and roads, i would guess the crumbleing buildings are scripted, but i dunno, cos i'd need to play through it again.

Well even looking in the booklet I can see that you need to head towards the city, I haven't even played it yet but that was obvious ;)

Hehe....that's usually my luck, games I've preordered always turn up late and by that time everyones usually finished :)

Well no doubt I'll be back although I could be stuck on one part where your part was debris, well that's the way I've read this game anyway. Different parts crumbling at different times and giving multiple ways through the debris....well we'll find out tonight eh :)
