Thinking of getting it, reviews seem pretty good but I just wondered if any of you good people had tried it yet?

Top film and hope the game doesn't suck

You should only have one magic ball to consult, otherwise you will become confused? or are you talking about a different set of magic balls?

Nah, too busy savouring the delights of Jak and Daxter, Tactical Ops, Jedi Outcast and Unreal Tournament 2003.

Having a new PC (and a PS2) rules. {:)

From the reviews I've seen it's scored between 60% and 85%.

On the Roy Walker scale of gaming it would be:

NPC = non playable charactor. i meant do new NPC's you meet in the game stay in the same area so you can go back to an area and talk to them or if one of your team die then a few moments later a new dude runs out of nowhere and joins.

That sucks. They should have had 12 men, all different characters, some you get on with, some you don't (like Stryke) If they die, they're dead for the whole game.

That would be better, as it would be more similar to the (excellent) film

oh so when you meet new NPC's do they just hang around waiting to join or do your new crew members suddenly appear from nowhere?
