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
Unfortunately it's on that Astro Jocks level (The elimination with the disruptor guns and plasma grenades), 2 seconds off of a gold.
:-(
> Have you played as Pulov Yuran yet?
Annoying.
I'm thinking EA's to blame, Burnout 3 had something exactly like that put in.
Mr. Socky is hilarious on big head mode, and makes for some fun sniping against on Siberia. Played about 24 hours and counting, and got golds in heads knocked off and glass smashed.
Played too many virus matches yesterday for my own good. Now I'm hearing the beeping everywhere.

Not really. I haven't played it at all today.
I'd say Capt Ed Shivers is my fav though, then The Shoal. But they both have crappy stats, which is annoying.

Oh, and I@m just about to check my Heads Knocked Off Stats.
I know it's HUGE though.
It's my main killing mehtod, I've got a gold for it.
1138.
w00t
I'll go for it aswell ... tell me when you reach it and I'll tell you when I reach it
Game on !
> Only knocked off 289 heads. :(
I've knocked off 810 now, which is a Gold stat award :D
I like to rack up these things because I'm mad. :)
> So your arcade kills and deaths show up on your stats then?
yes they do.
I've killed 2109 and 500 deaths.
Only knocked off 289 heads. :(
