does anyone know when hunter: the reckoning is coming out? and is it a first person view or is it over the sholder, eg: spider-man?

Quote from XBM magazine:
There's plenty of fun to be had as you plough your way through hoardes of the undead - from your standard lunging zombie types to mysterious giant teddy bears (which are evil, of course.).
However, all of the hacking and slashing does tend to get a bit repetetive despite a few varients on the central., level-claering objectives being thrown in. The four-player multiplayer is okay but you are limited to the confines of the immediate area and the screen gets extremely crowded. Whilst far from an outstanding title it is worth a look for an evening or two.

Just be aware of the few faults it has, basicly it gets repetive and its hard.
It's also got a nice 18+ cert on it.

Cheers Mantis and Daveus, I think I will go with Hunter as I have RalliSport Challenge and I am not sure if I want another racer! Cheers guys.
man!PGR is no doubt one of the best graphically made racing and car (car as in they're beautiful cars!) but i haven't played it for a few months now, it's fustrating trying to get further. tight corners and annoying a lot of the time. if you wanna be decent at this game it takes a LOT of pratcie in my opinion.
where as Hunter! Hunter is phat! :)
after half way through the first/second level i got really used to the controls. trust me here...it has top-notch graphics, sound and all that. and if you like seeing...this may sound sick but it happens lol...the undead's back open up and spray with blood when you give him his "medicane" then you'll love this game. if you like hearing the sound of bullets piercing the undead's flesh buy this game. if you like seeing a PAIR OF LEGS walking towards you buy it! everything comes off! arms, legs, stomach and head! etc! etc! it all adds to the realism. this is a quality game man! go get it :)

The main problem I hae with Agent Under Fire is the length of it. After about 2 hours I was on Level 6, thats half way through the game. The medal scoring system seams good and I will probably go through trying to get all the platnium medals, so at least thats some replay value.
I just feel a bit ripped off. £45 quid for a short but quite good Bond adventure is a too much.
garbe123, it depends what your after when deciding between Hunter and PGR, zombie slaying or racing. I owned Hunter and I want it back, its addictive. If I see it around on the cheap I will probably pick it up again. The graphics are really detailed, something that isn't apparant from the screenshots and the gameplay is a frantic blast. It gets repetive, but I was far from bored.
Replay value seams to be there too. Once you've completed the quite challanging story game, you'll want to do it again with different characters. You also unlock Alternate Hunter and Nightmare modes. Add a brilliant multiplayer and you've got enough game to keep you occupied for a long time.

I am definatley going to get this game, but I have a problem of choosing between PGR and this! If anyone has these 2 games would they please compare the 2 and say which is better. I know they are 2 completley different games but comparisons between graphics and gameplay would be helpful, thanks!
You basically need to ignore the monsters mate and just run like hell.
;-) Watch our for the damn spider things though.

Sorry Daveus I was talking about Hunter, I have completed Agent Under Fire on Platinum on all levels. Thanks for your reply.
i assume you're talking about Hunter (topic). but i'll quickly tell you about Agent Under Fire. my opinion. i think it's too short, only 12 missions and a lot of them are short missions. it's no where near as good as Goldeneye - that's a classic and it hasn't been beaten by any bond game yet. it's also sometimes hard to hit people (with bullets) as the bullets move slow (you can see the bullets move clearly). also one thing that kinda got to me: i was in a holding cell and i killed the guard with my fist and he was walking around outside. he did come up to the cell but killing him from inside the cage with a fist isin't possible to me.
Hunter though is a quality game :)
it has 23 levels! 23! it's also the first chalenging game i think i've ever played....and i'm not s*** by far mate. there was one time where i was out-numbered 25-1 and all i had was a few barrels (shotgun) and a few rockets, and if you fire rockets too close to you - you go up with your "pals". and in this i was in a group of three straight holding cells with the walls knocked down (by the undead). i could go on but you'd proberly get bored or something. but if you wanna know anything else, just ask mate ;)
