Just thought soe of you guys might be intresting in some opinions on this game other than the dude earlier that raving about his disgust in the game.
First of all the bad things. For starters the aiming controls are a bit suspect, without auto aim on it's near impossible to shoot people which just sucks, i've tryed fiddling with the sensitivity but it still sucks. with the auto aim on you hardly have to do any adgusting of the aiming crosshair so it's a bit easy really. That's the worse part out of the way.
The graphics are a bit bland in places to be honest, particuarly the first level..oh and speaking of the first level don't let it put you off, it's a bit of a suck balls level but the 2nd level is much more fun. Another bad thing and this is just me being picky is like TWINE on the N64 when you shoot a hostage or do something that doesn't follow the mission and causes you to fail the level ends, now I don't know about you guys but I kinda like just going nuts in the level and shooting the inncoent bystanders occasionally in Goldeneye and Perfect dark. I really can't understand why other developers never let you do this and force the level to finish, stupid fools. Anyway minor niggle.
Now the good points and you'll be suprised to hear that there's quite a few, the speach is great, whether mid mission or in a pitched gun battle Mcalne always has something to say, very much in line with his film character. Also eves dropping on the terrorists conversations with the hostages and other people is rather amusing. One incident where I snuck into the mens toilet and listened to them talk about women was rather amusing, I proceeded to take one hostage and use him as a shield as his stupid mate with his trousers down ran out of the bog and filled him mate with lead. Another cool thing is taking hostages, very cool sneaking up on a terrorist holding a gun to his head and forcing his stupid mates to surrender their guns. The levels are welldone as well, all seem very different to the last, the first level sucks the balls as i've already said but from then on they get much better.
So basically it's a good game, not perfect but by no means rubbish, if you can get used to the controls (you will after a while and they actually come in handy) then I urge you to check it out.

I have to say, that isn't really saying much. TSP2 single is pretty poor really...........but Metroid will chang all of that. Even though its got more adventuristic stuf in it.

Go behind the screen, and at the other end, there should be a wall, with a patch to the left that is a darker colour than the rest of the wall.
Look up, and there are two strings holding the patch up. Shoot what is holding this up and you'll see the door.

I was going to get this game, but it has no multiplayer!
Shame really

Stealth and Normal mode, i've had no problems with running speeds.
Hero Time is very cool, the fact that that music..whatever you called it is playing in the background is very cool, very Die Hard. Also the slow motion camera that revolves around th bullet then does a close up of it hitting the enemy with blood spurting out and them screaming, looks very cool. Luckily they don't over use it and you can turn it off if you don't like it.

You can run.
I thought there was normal mode, run mode and stealth mode or something. And you switch between them with the D-pad or something..

I'm renting it at the moment and it's a load better than how I thought it would be.
The Hero Time is pretty cool, especially as it plays Ole de joy and the guns aren't bad at all...twin uzis etc :P
