You wont have to battle him again, but don't worry, the arch fiend in both forms is dead easy, first form doesn't need any healers, second might need a bit.

You could have edited your message instead of making multiple posts like that...

Anyway this game is for the UK right or is the release date for the US also? What's the save system like? I heard this game was very hard? Last thing I want is another fustrating game

Soulreavercross

Sorry, I didn't have any problems with saving, however the difficulty is well.. not hard.. but frustrating, there are so many irritating things that end up killing you due to bad design and awful controlls, luckily you are not often set back too far, but it becomes frustrating fast. Today was the UK release, US release is 24th (?).

Hi Fracot, your bday is on friday right, can't wait till I come round.

PRS - look back

Hold a - run

b - release object

LS - move

RS - handle object (move object)

RT - throw

LT - lock on

Gas bottle/extinguisher

a - take

RT - use

RS - handle

Thats the four pages of controlls and as you can see they are mad, weird and rather awful - they do not handle well, and even im first person you have problems

What about vehicles, after all Eden made TDU - are they good?

NO! There is no grip, you crash, and to put it simply: EPIC FAIL

Gunplay, you can't go wrong there.. right?

Well.. right.. more or less, the gunplay is well gunplay, problem is you can't kill enemies without fire so it's pretty useless, and the enemies move to fast to make the gunplay worthwhile

What about puzzles?

Simplistic, boring and suitable for any mental pigmy - FAIL.

Any FPS drops?

Some, not too often but if there are big things expect your FPS to drop.

So.. is there anything good?

Yes, the game is more unfinished than bad, there are some nice roaming abilities, some bits are unarguably cool and rather good, sadly most of it isn't.

Voice acting?

Warning: Dialogue may cause suicidal tendecies

Sound in general?

There are some good bits, but a lot of it is rather bad

Easy to find your way around?

Pretty much

Hey! You havn't even finished the second part!

No - I havn't, I got my £60 back on the colectors edition ASAP, then went to a friends to played his so I got a good taste of all it had to offer.

Graphics - any modern game has gotta get a thumbs up there?

No.. the fire is done in thin lines, the people look bad, the colours look bad, it is not awful, but not good

So.. is there anything good?

Yep - I found a kantana :D

Should I buy it?

That's a question you have to ask yourself, its broken, the controlls dont always work, I've spent ages trying to move in the inventory etc. and it just didn't work and did other things, but if you can get past all of the nasty things it's a good game at the core, it's just rushed and badly done, needed another year or so (here is a good metaphore: it's dog **** with a honey comb centre).

Well I've run out of things that you guys might want to know, post a reply if there is anything else and I'll add it - and if you like it please post, then it won't fall down into the depths of the gamespot forums :-)
