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
[Ed] - did it crash for no reason, though? There wasn't, say, a load of stuff going on on the screen at once ?

That sounded rather rude until I read a bit further down.
Just been playing a challenge on a massive level that's based on the Obylthingy Damn from TS2. It's not the level though from TS2, it's like a massive ice lake with the damn in the distance, level's hoooooooge.

"It crashed my Cube (which hasn't happend in about a year, mind)" Helps if you read the original post before uncorking what passes for your brain, letting it dribble over the message box and pressing send.

I've had to sit here all day doing nothing because it hasn't arrived yet.
:-(
Should have it tomorrow morning.
Whoop.

And rightly so, it was easily the best arcadey multiplayer level in both games.
How many players/bots can yyou get overall?
Is it still 10?
