Re: Vanquish looks epic?

This has been getting amazing reviews. I have read multiple that have scored it over 9/10.
The general view - very fast paced, amazing visuals and level design, fun and inventive gameplay, 6 hours in length on normal difficulty, poor story.
Overall, a few sites have called it one of the best games of 2010. I really want this now.

Just watched the gametrailers review. Yeah it does look good and fast paced with good visuals. Its sold me on it.

Another great review by GT. The reviewers closing statement really sells the game. A score of 9/10 from GT is very good.
I may knock off work early tomorrow so I can finally play this bad boy.

So true, a review from GT can make or break a game for me.

This game is relentless, and im loving it. There is so much going on at any single time it really is impossible to keep track of it all.
I am dying a fuckload too. The learning curve is steep and the enemies don't hold back.

The cinematics are the best ive seen.

I think one of the trophies was to complete the game without dying! I know its only your first play through and you have just started, but still, sounds like a tough trophy.

Yes it will be tough. It has a Chapter select, so hopefully it will show which levels you need to complete without dying.
It can be done on easy difficulty if you take cover and take it slow.
I'm playing on normal and rushing into battles. Sliding towards a Romanov (very tough enemy), drop kicking him in the stomach then back flipping and firing a rocket in his face in the coolest thing you will ever do in a video game.

10/10!

The old guy sorta looks like Anthony Hopkins on steroids.

Damn! Tactical challenge 6 is kicking my ass. You cannot afford to make 1 mistake and really have to plan ahead. Will this be preventing from plat?
