No, the story just confused a bit at first. Map editor as well. Ive been playing it a little bit more and have become more accustomed to it though. Its a good game counting the online play.

Single player not so much so?
Too bad if so, I really liked the mission of the first one.

Gears of War 2

if you liked the first....you will love this one.

Prey


Holy shit, how did I miss this one for so long? The graphics and animation in some parts are a bit dated, but the story, acting, gameplay, walking upside down, portals, spirit walking, jesus, the list goes on. Fucking brilliant.

Oh, and the duke-nukem esque voice over rules.

Even better, if you have Half-Life 2, load up the map where you have to travel on the beams of the bridge (I'll see if i can get you the map name), type in the cheat to get all the weapons, and practice shooting sea gulls with the crossbow and magnum (use the shotgun if you get frustrated :D) It sounds like a complete waste of time, but it is an awesome hand-eye coordination exercise.


Plus, it is fun watching them go limp and then fall 200 feet into the water. Hey, they arent real birds...

I'll have to try that. I've never gotten into the Half Live games, but I've heard they're pretty good.

It's not that bad. It definitely has its weaknesses. I'm not a huge fan of being forced occasionally to press particular buttons in a particular order to make a particular character do things (climb, etc) that aren't relevant for most of the game.

The game isn't great, but it's not bad. I think that the graphics are pretty brilliant at times and the beasties look really cool. It's fairly redundant, though. I wish it wasn't so linear.

What other problems do people find with this game? I've heard complaints about it - Who else has played it? What are your thoughts?
