    Hehehe the lip sync is terrible, I liked it played a bit arcadey, the concept is a nice twist. But i have a terrible problem with it, whenever get near death, the game gives out a high pitch noise and then it blue screens out. Also on the europe level when walking up that mine shaft are talking to the general, so that level is unplayable for me

    Performance is brilliant.

    But the engineer keeps falling out of range when I'm next to him

    I've played the demo and thought the game was poor. Not impressed one little bit sadly.

    The buying of ammo etc is much more of an annoyance than a positive gameplay thing. Maybe buy ammo/armour at the start of the level and then replenish after a mission is finished, but not 17 times through the level.

    Then you can judge the level on your accuracy etc by how many bullets you've got left etc.

    But no i'm not convinced at all.

    I love it, BUT the thing keeps crashing on me..

    It goes and gets artifacts all over, then crashes, and i even run the gc at stock speeds :S

    no other games are crashing either...

    And it seems to do it on the first level, where the thing jumps outa the flames at the door... but it recovers from that, then itll freeze at the guys at the end of the tunnel...

    any help?

    Only played the Europe level but it seemed very constrictive and linear. Graphics were decent but not stunning on my machine.

    Standard FPS stuff really, got bored too quickly.

    Crashes for me too, right at the bit on the snow level when you fight the other Bet on Soldier... By then I wasn't all that bothered though, its just not all that exciting, very seen it all before. Ill pass.
    What we share with everyone is glum, and dark...
