I'm going to be a bit contraversial here, but I wasn't hugely impressed with this game.

Admitedly the graphics are good and there are some reasonably twists in the plot but all in all it left me pretty cold and once I have defeated it it left me with no wish to replay it whatsoever.

I'm going to trade it ASAP :/

Different strokes for different folks MB A lot of people are raving over Halo 3 but I couldn't care less about it. I do admit though that now I've finished it, the only reason to go through it again will be to get the last 3 achievements, and to see the other ending. When I've done that I can see myself trading it in. As brilliant as I think it is, it doesn't have a huge amount of replay value.

I started and completed the Hephaestus level last night. Is it me or are the Splicers getting tougher?... and Ammo seems to be getting tighter too. I struggled with this level actually .. It might have been then I was just tired but it took me a while to get going.. I made a meal of the first big daddy and lost all my ammo and plamsa.. so I started again only this time building up some frags and armour piercing bullets.. Surely enough, they were a little easier to defeat.

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!



I have found it easier to ignore the first big daddy you see. As long as you don't attack them, they'll ignore you. In this level I manged to locate (roughly) all three. Once I've hacked a few turets. I lure one towards the other passing the turrets as they chase you. They get distracted by these and gives you a chance to reload while they take some damage (all beit minor)... then throw a rage at them. It's not easy but it's affective.


Ha Ha another nice touch I found last night in this level.. the booby traps in the office.. Use the Telekinesis to grab a corpse.. then hold it in front of you and walk through.. The corpse gets fried .. That's what I'm loving about this game.. more than one way




End Spoiler Alert!

Out of interest, what are the splicers that look like milkmen?

When I first started playing it I was really really into it and played it most evenings now with the COD4 beta I haven't played it in days and to be honest don't really see myself turning it back on I don't know what it is but when I'm playing I'm not really arsed about what I'm doing all I'm interested in is finding the big daddies.

I may get back into it once the beta ends but I should have Shadowrun by then, what is that like?

The pipemania hacking is really really dull. I will play some more just out of curiousity. The hacking could be improved dramatically if it was done under pressure. For instance in Deus ex you had very little time to get it done before being mown down or something come along. In bioshock it takes you to a seperate window where you have all the time in the world.

I have to say that its a lot better than some of the other tripe being churned out. NFS, i'm looking at you

Got to say, reading back through what people have said, I can't wait to play through it again. One of the best games I think I've ever played. Certainly the best since Max Payne 2.
