hey,
can someone give me a low down on this game?
just really how it feels (maybe in comparison to other games)
alot of my buddys have an xbox 360 so i'm thinking of buying one but if i do i want a solid lineup of games convincing me to,
and right now that contains gears and gears only as thats the only 360 game i've ever played, well i played old school DOOM on my buddys 360, that **** was funny as hell.
i've heard lots of mix reviews on this game and it's kinda got me second guessing,
so i figured go right to the fans, see what makes it great to them.

any helps cool,
thanx in advance!

ps. i realize how annoying these types of questions can be and for that i'm sorry.

Its not really like any other FPS.. well its a 3rd person perspective. the action can be fast paced, but not insane like Unreal...  you also have a better sense of your environment, i think in part from the 3rd person perspective and the really great animation... it doesnt feel like your a floating camera everywhere you move. ( like halo or resistance or alot of other FPS). I really like that about this game.

best thing to do is download the free demos on the xbox live marketplace. They have both the Single player, and multiplayer demos available.

And the Xbox and Xbox 360 are also better for FPS in that they have triggers. Feels better.

they switched the the L2 and R2 buttons on the PS3 Six Axis to trigger style buttons. They dont have the exact same "trigger style" concave curve to them, but they function the same. I still prefer the 360 Controller though. as of now i still would rather have vibration in the controller rather than motion sensing... but theres not enough games yet that take advantage of it.. so time will tell what sony does with it.

Still would be nice to have both, but I guess they cant get around the vibration interfering with the motion sensing.

I know, I've played Motor Storm at Gamestop. Feels very weird. I actually liked the PS2 controller more than the Xbox controller. And I favored controller S over the "Duke". But now I can't see a controller better than the 360's coming along anytime soon. I do like the Wii-mote though. Who knew that a simple game of virtual bowling could be fun? Gotta get one to replace my cube and so I can play Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. Just wish they'd get a black one out. The white looks cool and matches the controller, but Nintendo has been about colors since the N64 and the Gamecube. And the Gameboys. It's gonna happen with the Wii.

I agree with most of that.. espcially having dedicated servers. Both for gaming and downloads. (but esp gaming).. think about all the lag issues in LP that would be solved :eek: .

Other than thier being a lack of players with headsets on the playstation network.. the gameplay experience has been very good. I have yet to experience any gameplay lag issues with both resistance and motorstorm.

Awesome. :D
