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
Sell them both and get an xbox with live just for TS3.
Trust me.
O...K.a.a.a.y....

So i can play it round my cousins......
I am stuck on that level where you have to hotwire some missile thing and don't know what to do, help?
I completed the story mode.
It's better than TS2's storyline, and I like the levels more, but it's way too short (I've only been playing it for about 4 hours, but then again, it was only on easy mode).
It's crashed twice, once fo rno apparant reason and I had to start the level all over again (and it was near the end), and once I fell through the floor, and floated in the sky, but I was killed by something so I started back at the checkpoint.
Some of the jokes are funny, others horrendous, but I'm loving the game.
Getting a feeling it's not quite as good as TS2, but it's near it.
It took me ages to find the miniguns warm-up thing, because of course, Z doesn't do it now (If you don't know, you push up on the d-pad).
Anyway, some newgood guns, some new bad guns, some no more good gones, some no more bad guns.
It sort of evens itself out, but the Streets level is gone, which was by far one of the best.
