Hey, i won GAD the other day and wondered whether to claim it. People have told me that it is going to be so good, but they haven't said why. I wondered if any of you knew some information about it, i.e how many levels and what will keep me playing. It's so hyped, but i haven't got a lue what it's about. All the reviews i've read just say the same thing, "It's not a FPS". Why is this? It looks like a FPS to me.

Thanks for any help :D

Just claimed the game. I read the review on gamespot and it sounds so cool. No loading times, one massive world and rolling around in a ball. Can't wait for it's release.

Yeah. It wasn't that hard, just frustrating.

Well ys it is but Prime doesn't look like the style of game I usually go for by seeing videos etc.

It's all down to if YOU like the game.

Personally I don't think Prime is gonna be my thing. That's why I might not get it. I'm still curious though.

Bloody impossible. I don#t know how I did it. I don't think I could do it again.

Lots of people like Super Monkey Ball, it's just that you don't. I though GoldenEye was crap - but I admit I'm in the minority, so I don't slate people who liked it.

Yeah but i don't really like the NGC magazine, they gave SMB 9/10 when i'd give it 3/10. I'll have a look around for some reliable reviews, but information from you people would be good. You have honest oppinions, not biased ones.

er-no will come and tell you. But apparently it's much more like an adventure game than an FPS, like a first-person adventure game, I guess.

I haven't actually read the import review for it in NGC yet, but they gave it 96%, and said it was the best GC game so far.

If I were you I'd claim it!
