This thread has been linked to the game 'Timesplitters: 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

And that solves that problem.
Unless they're playing us for chumps.

Some of you have no knowledge of classic movies.
It's a reference to Citizen Kane.

Like Crossbob's?
Probably his imaginary wife.
When Crow dies, he mutters "Rosebud..."
One of those cliche attention grabbers probably.

Rosebud?
The final boss is laughably easy. Although he does take away a lot of health, so you fight him with very little. Although there is a plot hole- why doesn't the Crow that you fight before you jump back and help yourself follow you? And who/what the hell is Rosebud?
Sorry, I'm starting another huge time debate again. I'll be good.

"Hard" mode is no where near as difficult as TSP2 which was a real challenge.

Nah, I stopped playing ages ago.
I've still got to do half of the Story Levels on hard.
