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

Arcade League is much harder and it appears to be shorter, there are only nine challenges in amateur. I've only done three of them though but I unlocked Captain Ed Shivers. He's a pirate so I'm happy. Haven't played story mode yet.
How does it compare to TS2 then?

My copy also just crashed. Not good. Happened whilst I was playing Virtual Brutality in the arcade league.

Cool, I didn't know you could do that.

Just spent the last 10 minutes watching all the character animations. Very funny.. and so much digital cleavage :|
Although you can also play as a cactus or a shoal of fish.

My copy arrived today as well. Haven't played it yet though and I've just realised I haven't turned my Gamecube on for a couple of weeks now.
That = major w00tage
Indeed, Captain Ash is him rolling up his sleeves and promising he'll lay down some "fistycuffs".
I know from a review that each character says something when you select them.
