I think the graphics are better than any game (yes even killzone TEH BEST) the game play is excellent and the sound track is wonderful. I even like the combat (why was it bad to everyone) I did have some trial and error and enjoyed it the whole way through. I lulzed at bad reviews Thoughts?

I thought it got more fun the more you played it. doing the speed runs and time trials then blasting through the story a second time was fantastic!

i recently borrowed this for the second time, this time i was just focusing on the time trials, THIS IS WHERE THE REAL GAME IS.

I agree that the artstyle is more asthetically pleasing than killzone 2, but in terms of rendering techniques and such, Killzone 2 is way better.

It's good, but it doesn't feel like a game. it feels like a mini game, or it feels like a part of a full game.... or is it just me?

It's ok, nothing special. I would like to see a second, though. Maybe with a differant character than Faith, she is very boring as a game character.

Story mode is a little over six hours. Minus cutscenes, MGS4 barely wins out.

I liked the graphic style of the game, aside from the cutscenes, which just look like those E-Surance ads. It's a clean looking game, but in my estimation, does not hold a candle to many games out there, graphically.

I wasn't fond of the game (one of my least favorite for this generation, thus far), as I wanted a cool parkour experience. The game built no momentum, as it played, essentially, like a Genesis-era precise platformer. boring AND frustrating.

I am jealous of those who enjoy it, as I really had high hopes for the game.

Ultimately, though: a free running game that doesn't let you run free? Fail.

it was okayish..well..the time trials anyway my gripe with the game was that it was way too short. (story mode took about 5 hrs first time and around 2hrs second time through) and the replay value was almost non-existent... anyways the game was a good attempt.

My sister always acts like her eyes are burning when I play the game.

I really enjoy the game. I loved Sonic back in the day and this game reminds me of that or even better. Of course it really depends on your skill level, if you are constantly falling and dieing you're going to hate the game. However, if you get the timing down you can bypass enemies like nothing and you start feeling that rush, that same rush I get when going so fast in Sonic that the screen is too slow for me, lol.

The game was a good game. It was a unique experience when there aren't to many out there.

ME is a solid game. It's only real weakness was its combat because it worked to slow the pace of the game down. The game is at its best when Faith is running as fast as she can through the environment. But when she has to stop and fight, it just kills the momentum . IMO the developers should have just left out Faith's combat abilities and made running the only option.

Also, it's definitely not a game for people who hate trial and error gameplay. But if you don't mind trial and error gameplay, it is a definitely worth playing.

BTW I didn't think the graphics were anything special, but to each his own.

It really is an awesome game. It was just too short for the $60. But now that its $25, picking it up should be a no-brainer.

Suffered a bit too much from trial and error, "where the hell do you I go/what do i do now/what am i supposed to jump to" syndrome, but it was a really brave game. It also had a gorgeous aesthetic, though I wasn't at all a fan of the outsourced animated cutscenes (which DICE has admitted was due to time constraints...they couldn't do it themselves).

This game is brilliant. One of the best games I've ever played, and that's coming from a guy who absolutely HATES games with time-trials and stuff like that...

But I should say that this game really shines when you're doing the Speedruns and the Trials. Hard to say when compared to so many great games that came out in 2008 but this is definetly one of the best.

Go buy it.

It was okay. Just seemed like a huge survival mode, especially on hard.

I agree with the reviews the critics gave it. It was too difficult in your first play through. The "flow" they talk about doesn't exist because you don't know the map well at all the first time through. Unless you already know where to go, you have to take your time and stop, run a little bit, stop, run some, stop, etc. and that takes away the feeling of the game. Success also depends a lot on trial and error. What looks like a jump you could normally make, ends up being your death. Some jumps look impossible to live through, but it happens to be the correct path. The hint button doesn't help half the time and often enough runners vision loads when its too late. Graphics are great, but inconsistant with the cut-scenes. Time trials are incredibly hard to beat and require almost a perfect playthrough if you are attempting trophies. I respect the game and the risk that it took for some new content, and the sound is awesome, but as a whole the game was fun 10% of the time, ok 40% and frustrating 50% of the time. If there is a lot of fun to be had that I'm not seeing, it must be an aquired taste, of which I have not obtained along with the the people who reviewed the game, hence the bad/decent rating.

What did you like about the combat? Without it, the game could have been so much better. It was a big weak spot in the game. I loved it when I first played, then when I actually bought it, I didn't like it nearly as much. It was very frustrating to me.
