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
For getting gold in Honorary, Elite And Challenges
I only need one more Honorary Gold, teh one where you're Hans agaisnt two teams of 3, and you need 30 kills in 3 minutes for a gold.
As soon as I start getting near, the enemies disappear and I run over 3 minutes.
:-(
But then again, I've been in multiplayer a lot of the time. That's the way TS was really meant to be played. Just like Goldeneye.
> It's a hell of a lot easier than TS2.
I think it's harder to be honest. I still haven't done the mission in the honorary league where you have to do zones in the space station.
I've been playing for about 24 hours.
That's only about 4 hours a day.
:-(
Plus Arcade is much better than the single player. Although I do like Khallos' Train level, even if it is a complete rip off of the Train in Goldeneye.
