Well I’ve spent most of my free time today playing this game so you can safely assume that it’s good.
If you feel like playing over Nintendo WFC my friends code is: 2750-1219-5606.
Ubisoft were completely honest when they said the first few minutes would explain everything. I’m not going to say anything but it’s going to be interesting to see if they continue it into further games.
The game looks very impressive and plays very smoothly. Occasionly there’s some slight niggles where the control instructions are a little vague but once you work it out you can easily pull off pretty much any move you want when you need too.
The crowd is very impressive but there’s still room for improvement. I’m not sure if I like how quickly word of your actions spreads through the world. Instead of there being some delay or limit to the effects of your actions every guard instantly knows what’s going on. I don’t know if they tried doing it properly and found that it made the game too easy or whethere it was just something they decided wasn’t worth the effort.
Apart from that, I’m two hours in and so far it’s great. So far so good Ubisoft, so far so good. I’d like to talk about what an interesting idea the secret is but I can’t do that without spoiling it for anyone that hasn’t played the game yet, and since it isn’t officially released until Friday I’ll keep my mouth shut until then.
If you don’t get the joke, hurry up and complete Gears of War
I hope that everyone’s having an enjoyable launch day, and I wish everyone that didn’t manage to get one the best of luck in getting one soon.
