"Splitters Future Perfect"

Mine came earlier, just been playing it until it crashed my Cube (which hasn't happend in about a year, but never mind).

Very weird to play this after Resi 4, I don't think you couldn't get two shooting games any more different from each other.

So far:

+ Lots of humour and little touches which made me smile
+ More Captain Ash
+ Looks and sounds alot better with alot more speech
+ The stats & character gallery are back, with some old favourites
+ Intimidatingly huge amount of Challenges etc. to do
+ Doesn't look like EA have messed around with FRD's game.

- Couple of framerate slowdowns
- Pathetically weak and short opening level (the demo level)
- I seem to be crap at Arcade league.

The opening Story Level is a let down, specially since the beginning of TSP2 threw you into the sublime Siberia level. But the next level is far better. And has Captain Ash who is hilarious :)

Oh, and in the extras section you can see the credits, which has Cortez going all Saturday Night Fever on a mirror-balled dance floor. The sign on the wall says "The Big Tipper". :D

The Mars Prison assault is fairly easy, I got a gold on my first attempt.

Virus in the Hotel is the easiest thing ever. Just get the ghost gun, find a dead end room somewhere - it kills everyone with just one shot and you can just hole up there for 3 minutes, it's ridiculous.

Nightclub was hilariously easy. You just needed to find the best route. The high up section with the walkways was the best method. Just go to the top, look down until the viruses begin to climb up behind you, run across to the gap, drop down, run forward and up the stairs. Wait for the 'flames' to drop down, run over the gap (a flaw in the game) and then wash, lather and repeat.

The hospital was plenty big enough and the mexican mission, it was just the chicago level that was tough.

I don't know what I've got platinum on.

i've got it on all the Virus levels though.

They were easy, the levels are far too big for virus, unlike in TS2 where they were tiny.

That's pretty fast. I almost got platinum on 'Commuting Will Kill You', I finished in 2 mins 21.2 secs with 9 lives. I guess platinum is 2 mins 20 secs, yes?

The Mr Socky assault is the easiest platinum ever. Restart until you spawn the furthest forward (the auto-gun shoots you before it starts) and just run. Make sure you get the health pick-up to the right of the gulley, make it to the middle ground, run up towards the fuel barrows, picking up the body armou on the way. Go left, destroying the fuel barrels as you go, into the building and up, destroy the barrel there, drop down the side and get the last barrel, before running inside and nading the place (there are two places to pick up nades, one outside the final area, one bgy the middle ground).

49.7 seconds. :)

Only.... got.... one.... more.... gold.... to.... get.....
Can't..... get....... it....... Noooo!.......

Alright, maybe you're not gaming ninjas and I'm just crap. That would make more sense considering I only just got my first platinum (On 'A Pox of Mox' in 2 min 30.0 sec).

I believe it.
TS3 is a lot easier than I found TS2 thanks to all teh skills I learned from TS2.

11 hours is good, better than me (1 day, 7 hours), but I've played a hell of a lot of multiplayer too, so I can't really say how long it's taken me.
