Holy crap, is this game fantastic! I thought it was going to be good, but not GREAT! Anybody else have the fortune of picking this up?

What about Kane and Lynch? Any thoughts on that?

The game does look awesome no doubt.
I as going to pikc it up till it got some not so great reviews due to its length, right nows its a rental to me.

Kane and lynch also looked good but hasnt been getting much good reviews.

They paid attention to details too, which boggels my mind. For instance, there are TONS of NPCs hanging around the streets on the cities, and you have to move past them to get to your destination. If you do anything out of the ordinary, they react. For instance, I was in the middle of a crowded merchant bazaar, and I didn't want to fight the crowds, so I decided to take it to the rooftops. I start to climb a building, and I see the people stopping, and looking at me saying, "What in the world is he doing?" some old man said, "Look at that! A grown man playing like a child!" etc. If you bump into a lady with a pot on her head, and cause it to drop for instance, she'll stand there and scold you. Another incident, I was running down a mountain pass, came around a corner and bumped into an NPC which caused him to lose his balance. I thought he was going over the edge, but he stopped just shy of it, and said, "Whew! You just gave me a heart attack my friend!"

I about fell out my chair.

20 hours if you don't do any side quests, 40 if you do. What do you want, a marathon?

The only thing bad about this game is the horrid AI. Aside from that, game is good, not great like many thought it would be considering the hype it got.
do you people get like every game in the world?

The right is more virtuous than the left. They have twice as many virtues because they have double the standards.

Not really. I only get hyped to death games.

Crysis/Bioshock/Assassins Creed/Gears of War on PC/Call of Duty 4/Mario Galaxy etc...

November is the month for gamers. O_O
very overrated game I hate when average games get so much hype (like Halo)
I may pick it up later, Fry's has it for $40. I haven't decided tho, from what I've read you just have to play the game for an hour or 2 and you'll get all the fun there is to it. I wish they delayed it a few months and made it even better. I mean, they have a lot of competition now with Super Mario Galaxy, Uncharted, Mass Effect, UT3, etc all coming out in this month.

I'm getting increasingly disappointed in games now a days, they seem to just be getting shorter. At first I figured it was Heavenly Sword, but now it seems to be where games are heading. Halo 3 wasn't that long and Uncharted sounds to be also under 10 hours long. I dunno about anyone else, but unless I'm playing a RPG, I want games to be 10-15 hours long.

You guys are all stoned. I played it for 3 hours last night, and it's absolutely amazing. I honestly don't think there's a single game out there that can satisfy you guys.

But hey, to each his own. I'll be enjoying the hell out of it.

(By the way, what makes the AI so horrid? I have yet to see bad AI in the game. Or are you just going on reviews?)

Uh, for example you can fight a group of guards and be completely surrounded, but yet they attack you one by one? Watching you kill them one at a time, not bothering to help out the other guard that is getting his ass kicked. It is as if they are waiting to be killed one at a time.

Also you can kill a guard while another is close by using the blend option, clearly he saw you, but the guard replies, "Who is the one responsible for this?" And you can walk slowly away from him undetected?

The game has minor flaws like that, but don't get me wrong it is still a solid game, but it could have been much more if the AI was a bit smarter.

Anyone tried it out on a PS3 vs. a 360? I just got a PS3 and I already own a 360. I'd tend to go for the PS3 version unless it has a bunch of tacked on uses for the sixaxis.

It depends on who you ask as far as reviewers go...

Some sites say the PS3 one looks/runs better and other sides say the opposite. I know Kotaku said the PS3 one looks marginally better while the 360 runs 2-3 frames faster. IGN says the 360 runs 5-10 frames faster and is more enjoyable because of that.

Seems to be just pick one if you have both systems, if my 360 wasn't broke/breaking I'd get it for that.

Gamespot says the PS3 version has better framerates, but the 360 version has better softer lighting.

i agree with all of the above, also the controls on the 360 version seem a bit clumsy/clunky.
