re: "Yup nomad, I have to say I agree, I mean, you must've REALLY hated it. I mean, you played it through to completion before it's release date for chrissakes"

It's out in the US. We have in excess of 20,000 staff in the US, shipping back and forth on a daily basis. And as long as I paid for it, that's all that matters.

As regards it being 'so good I played it to the end'. Sorry, but no. I waded through the first 2/3 thirds of it, and then got so bored to death with it I checked to see if the God Mode cheat still worked. It did, so I left it switched on so that I could quickly get through to the end to see if it got any better - or whether I'd just be wasting even more time. Unfortunately, the game sucks all the way to the end.

Sorry if I seem a bit 'ranty' on all of this, it's just that I can't believe that a game with so many fundamental gameplay shortcomings is getting such high review scores. If this wasn't an ID game, then those scores would be much more critical, and far lower - although even then I guess a few people might still not be able to look beyond the screenshots! :-)
