I've got it, but I'm pretty split on it.

Game plays great and looks amazing.

Characters are terrible, and I'm having a very hard time not leading them to their deaths intentionally.

Have it, played it already with another person on Campaign mode Really good. Undecided if I would have preferred it to be first-person shooter though...

Best looking next-gen console game ever! Can't wait for H3

I got to try it out today for about 20 minutes, I have to change the video set up to brilliant as the initial default setting is blurry and washed out, and plays havok on a projector. hard to make things out in shadows.

this game is like ghost recon, but a much simpler control scheme., i.e. you dont have to press 20 muttons to execute a reload command

plus it has better graphics and more gore than ghost recon.
I think ed wood may like this game.

You've been able to get it already? I don't own a Xbox-360 but my best mate does and he's been going on about this for so long now that I'm looking forward to it too (playing through the co-op game etc.) but being in the UK it's not set for release for another 8 days!

Man... being in the UK is really annoying at times like this.

I got the game on Tuesday.

I've beaten it on Hardcore single player with a friend. Was playing multiplayer Warzone all night long last night.

My favorite method of kills?

Grenade Tag.

Followed by Chainsaw.

Oh, by the way.

Since you are using a projector, try upping the brightness setting in the Audio/Video game menu. Then change to "Vivid". Should look better and be easier to see in the shadows.

What's your Gamertag again, Myo? Same as your Head-fi name?

Well...I just got my 360 last Wednesday and bought NHL 07, but after looking at some reviews etc...I think I'm gonna have to grab this game after work Tomorrow or at some point on the weekend.

Is the game play very linear?
