[keem21]

im planning to buy this game..

any impressions about the game?

It just came out today. And there was a review embargo.

I have a feeling it will be a lot like the first one.

Check these pages over the next week for some:

Anyone play the pc version yet? I'm not sure whether to get it for pc or 360.

[benji]

Yeah, I've played it. It might be better on 360. (I enjoyed the original on Xbox quite a bit.)

It suffers from GTA syndrome on PC. Where I want WASD+Mouse for on foot, want controller for driving. (I have both, and use both, but hate switching so I wind up doing most on one or the other.)

I haven't had the poor performance issues everyone else has, it ran pretty well for me.

I should note that I haven't played a huge amount of the game, only an hour or so. So far it just does seem like an upgraded version of the first game. If you enjoyed that though, it should be good. I look forward to plenty of "blowing shit up and tackling missions however I want" gameplay.
