Wow... played it today... my manager managed to get a copy through his contacts.. all I can say it that it runs so well and feels beautiful, a real treasure to play, we only had the first fully finished level/stage on disk however it was clear that if they didn't drop the depth in the later levels than this game will be an easy Halo beater (I wasn't a supreme fan of Halo).
Well. Its my first reason to own an XBox. And I will be getting a copy for free... as well as TimeSplitters2.
*burps and runs away*
Well done Splinter Cell.
:)
Blinx The Timesweeper - Terribly not what is was meant to be.
Mech Assault - Hate these kinda games, keep it on the PC :)
DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball- a must buy, is EXTREMELY bouncingly fun.
Panzer Dragoon Orta - Sadly haven't played, no comment.
Toejam & Earl 3 - Average game, nothing 'ticking' with it.
Ghost Recon - Worth the money :)
Unreal Championship - Not worth it because of the newest one :-D
Medal Of Honour: Frontline - Only if you haven't already got it. 8/10
Phantom Crash - No idea. No comment :)
Tony Hawks 4 - I will wait for Tony Hawks 8. Release 2003? :-D
Indiana Jones And The Emperor's Tomb - Worth a look, if you like puzzles and have a LOT of time on your hands.
Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast - Not as good as Clone Wars on GC.
Transworld Snowboarding - Not good, keep Amped.
Big Muthu Truckers - Terrible mediocre game. urgh.
Whats that then? Actually quite good, but the only one I would buy (which I aint as I am getting promo copy yay!) is Splinter Cell, but my recommendations are good, bare in mind :)

Or.. just erm.. one.
Splinter Cell.
Blinx is crap, seriously trying to be something it can never be, the developers and producers were tripping when they created it.

I was really looking forward to it, now I am not wasting my money.
Role on November - loads of excellent X-Box games coming out. ;-)
TS2 runs best on GC. Something to do with the engine being developed for the Cube then ported?
Meh. I don't care. Splinter Cell is very good... not my kinda perfect game but still. A reason to turn the Xbox back on.
