Got a copy at the weekend, and it is very good. The quality of the graphics is equal if not better than the pc version, and you can zoom right into the action without jaggies. The transfer to PS2 controller is good, with the right stick working the angle and zoom and R1 adjusting the rotation of objects in build mode.

Just make sure you have plenty of space on your memory card as the game saves are big!

O yes, you can zoom in and rotate the game area with the right stick. All of which is graduall - not in steps.

U can rotate objetcs on the "work grid" using the R1 button.

Unreal is a great game, don't you like it, why, why would you say something so wrong?

What could be more tedious than being trapped in a small static world, where all you can really do is run jump and shoot?

Unreal Tournament may be repetetive, but it's not tedious.

More repetitive and tedious than say, Unreal Tournament?

Why are any of you arguing about this?!
Anyone who spends £40 on The Sims, who isn't an eleven year old girl, in any shape or form is a fool.
And FM, The Sims has had at least two games in the top ten since the first add on was released, and it's still absolute tosh. People buy the Sims because they think it's fantastic, when, really it is incredibly repetetive and tedious, no matter how many add ons you have.

Is the camera 'free roaming' on the PS2 version?

On the PC there are something like three different zoom distances, four different viewing angles, and camera location was defined by a grid. More than enough to be able to see anything and everything you wanted to, but complete freedom would still be preferable.

which you could do on the pc version.

You are taking to someone who has owned the original PC version since its release.

but surely you would expect to be able to change the camera angle to see inside the room in the first place? *rolls eyes*
