Just got done with Hl/Op For/Blue Shift/HL2 just now.

Ep1/Ep2 for the weekend?

NokkonWud · 30-04-2009, 23:40

I really should play Episode 1 and Episode 2.

Psymonkee · 30-04-2009, 23:43

yes you should

Aboobie · 01-05-2009, 07:28

The question is will you be sending the gnome into space?

Briggykins · 01-05-2009, 08:31

Bah, I took the little tinker half way through the game then forgot about him, realising only when I got to the rocket that I'd left him behind

Couldn't be arsed to do it again.
But yes, you should be playing Ep1 and Ep2. Definitely.

Race Driver Pro.
Was on the shelf for 24.99 & as I wandered along there was 3 other copys for 39.99, I turned around & picked up the 24.99 one & took it to the counter, The bloke said "Crap I was s'pose to take this off the Special today"

To late I said & gave him the cash.

Anyway.
If you are into your drivers like I am/have been then it's well worth a purchase if you can get it for 25 quid or less, Definately Not worth a 40 quid purchase though.
Drives quite well overall but not enough feel for me & just not gritty enough. (If that makes sense). You do have to drive on Pro to get something that resembles a SIM as any lesser level is just plain Arcade. On Pro though the Ai are having a good go at me & I've found it quite a challenge

I'll have to give a better review once the game has been played through as like I say you have to Master the Pro & then with all the cars you unlock things get better every time. The last couple of unlocks have really made a difference to what I think of the game & if I had only played it for the first few unlocks & not on Pro I would be slagging this game off as an Arcade game. On Pro with decent cars I think this game may have a chance, I'll let you know in time.

I reviewed that for XboxGameZone, and to be honest wasn't overly taken with it. It's a decent driving experience, but for a whole package Forza 2 blows it out of the water. Race Pro just has none of the extras that I'd like in a racing game, it's very plain and straightforward and I wasn't very keen on how the career was laid out. I prefer more choice in what races I do and what cars I drive.

And doing The One Free Bullet?

I did both, quite enjoyed it, made for a different challenge

NokkonWud · 01-05-2009, 10:23

Yes I will. I plan on getting all the none ridiculous online achievements.

Well, that's Nuts and Bolts @ 1250. Still only 59 of 60 unlocked though, as there's a 0 point achievement for bringing a stop'swap, which I cant do unless I buy the original Banjo Kazooie or Banjo Tooie on arcade. May well get Tooie as I never played it - cant remember ever finishing Kazooie but you can unlock themes and pics in Tooie, which justifies 1200 points a bit better.

Does anyone have any preference between the original and the sequel, if I do buy?
