No wonder people gave it such middling reviews. The game is a repetitive piece of crap, like doing just one or two kinds of GTA missions without any of the fun. These huge sprawling cities are full of nothing to do aside from jump from rooftop to rooftop and walk through the same boring crowds fighting the same boring guards.

I wanted this to be a good game, but the last several Hitman games as buggy and broken as they were, are vastly superior in everyway. Rent it first.

Incidentally that's 2 360 games trhat have burned me for $110 collectively now (Creed and NFL Tour).

What happened to taking a chance and finding a gem? People talk about the Wii being loaded with shovelware (and it is) but the 360 is seemingly home to full price mediocrity that looks nice.

I remember springing $60 to get River City Ransom, Silent Service, and Battle Chess and being a lot happir than I was for the $40 I spent on Arch Rivals at around the same time.

I've heard the same bitching, even among the so-called fanboys having to at least admit it can get repetitive.

The game just seems more suitable as a smartly done 2D/3D mix platform game than what they're making it out to be.

You do raise a great point though. You can get shovelware mediocrity for $20 or $30 on the Wii, and then pay $60 for it on the 360. That kind of bullet to the pocket just isn't fun to bite one damn bit. Sick thing is with shit like Fraudspot.com does with their you pay us big $ for ads we give good reviews shit you never much know anymore what is crap and not.

I've resigned myself to at this rate even semi-not trusting known good stuff as it's been kind of shit on a stick fun too such as the last 2 Zelda games (DS/Wii) as one had reaking shitty control compounded by a forced re-trace of an assinine dungeon with a deathclock on it each time you got any item/badge of merit. Then TP was just too fucking slow and big, the fake sword control pissed me off, the wolf moves like a dumptruck, and the save works like Zelda 1 so if you don't play like 2hours you lose 30min of effort and picked up shit...fuck that.

As it is I tend to not buy much new anymore, trade old old tired shit (books, dvds, games, etc) and use the credits to get the new stuff newly used at a local shop that gives like 2-3x the credit than Gamestop does. I just learned this weekend that CoD4 on the DS is a decent attempt at copying the console copy and is downright probably the best controlling, looking and sounding game on DS by a good notch...fancy that, and at $25 ($10 cheaper!) And if it sucked they have a 7day return policy, and up to 14days you get 80% credit back! That's how I save myself from the shitpiles you're forced into from con job reviews from sheisters these days.

A buddy of mine who works at the apartment where I live loves this game for some reason. I don't have a 360 *yet* and this type of game doesn't wow me very much.

and it ain't gonna make me play what looks like another generic game.

I might be willing to try Cranium for the Wii though, I believe it's the first game made entirely from ubisoft studios in my hometown of quebec city. But since I only have 1 Wii controller, I don't know...
