Having played the game for about 30 mins, I came on here to check out the numerous threads about it, only to find out there aren't any!

Well, I've got mixed feelings about the game so far. It's clear from the outset that this is far from a classic of any form. The framerate slows frequently (but not to the point where it's unplayable) and the environments are a little too angular and bland in places.

Still, plenty of commendable points to make. The enemies are nicely detailed, as are the weapons, and the controls aren't too better. It's a little unexciting at first, using a crappy bow and having to find keys etc. But things start to pick up once you get hold of meatier weapons. I just had a rather entertaining sort of boss battle against a horde of killer chimps! Lol!

So far, slightly above average, I'd say. :/

I might pick it up when the price goes down. There's too many amazing games coming out, and there isn't room for only 'good' games.

I played this in Toys'R'us the other day, seemed a bit crappy really. Other than graphically, wasn't really much of a step forward from the N64 versions.

I'll wait and pick it up 2nd hand, too many much better games coming out to be bothered with this.

In my opinion, yes, it is worth getting, just about.

Was playing it a few mins ago, died, went back to loading screen and then the game locked up and the tv omitted a high-pitched continuous note that really drills into your head!

How odd...

The second part of chapter 3 is prooving to be quite a challenge, even with the shotgun. :)

When I first played the game my impressions were that it was utter sh**, as you progress to the later levels it becomes really great fun.
