"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.

Okay, I've capitulated and bought the game from GAME for an extra £7 :(

The bloke who served me asked if I'd played it.....duh, anyway he said he played it the other day and got off the train at the start but didn't have a clue what to do after that.

Ah well if I can get off the train tonight and work out what I'm supposed to be doing at least I can go back in and taunt him :)

Plus if anyone gets stuck, just ask Oasismark as he must be up around the 8 or 9 hours passed now.

*wants to go home*

It gets released 2morrow. Got my copy through the post this morning. Will play it tonight and let u know how I get on with it!

That's exactly what I was thinking, it's the survival genre without the zombie/monster twist that appeals to me.

Plus what sounds like a good replay value in that the environment changes each time with the earthquakes, perhaps I shall order tonight then :)

I'm actually quite looking forward to this game, it's certainly a nice change to have a game which doesn't require an amazing amount of violence to be fun. And it's also nice to see an "original" game on the PS2 in the wake of yet more sequels.

Well I took a quick trip into my local Game at dinnertime, just curious to see if they had it out on the shelves and also how much. Not a sign of it anywhere and I couldn't be bothered to wait for the mongers behind the counter.

Ah well, just have to order it next week, I can wait :)

Yeah, Play had a review of it - it got 70-something%. Which means I probably won't be getting it.
I've got other games on my list, and not even enough money to afford those.

Balls

I've pre-ordered this game for well over a month. Hope I like it. It should be out this Friday offically. I should have my copy on Thursday. It was soppose to be released a few weeks back, but took that while longer. Also SOS has been reveiwed all the PS2 mags over the past few months!

Hehe....both those statements make sense.

For me though I usually end up keeping my games and only buy if I'm sure I'll be playing for quite awhile. Plus I never complete a game within 10 days as I always get distracted by other things.

Right I'm off to find out who's the cheapest then excluding SR :)

I'm kinda same, i don't like paying full high street prices, but i do like the 10 day returns policy. In fact if i complete the game before 10 days, i can take it back. :)

And i wouldn't have bought it if i couldn't return it, cos i hadn't read any reviews of it and it may have been crap.

Ok, cheers for the quick reply.

Only thing is, I've promised myself not to buy any games from the highstreet stores so looks like I'll have to pre-order it. Might be a good time to renew my SR membership....oh hang on they're not stocking it.

Oh well their bad :)
