    They were out of PS3 copies when I got there.
    I was done until I got a new video card, now I'm back in. I actually got this on PS3 as well and my gf got it on 360 so we have all versions. I'll try to do some comparing later but on some of the boards I've been reading say the PS3 version is filled with bugs.

      I am really enjoying this game so far. Yeah, the gunplay part is a little clunky, but I can overlook that because of the story. It won't be for everyone, but I'm happy I picked it up (as of right now!).

        I might have to pick this up when the price drops.

          What the heck happened I dont know, but it looked like an old xbox game.
          I said that exact same thing as soon as I saw gameplay footage. This had crazy potential and someone dropped the ball.

            Did the tutorial/training mission and one real mission. It is what I thought it would be. Despite the relatively heavy marketing campaign I've seen for this game, its really a niche title.

            A player could play the game going in every mission guns blazing, but that would play to the games weaknesses. Gathering intel, choosing statements and allies carefully, and using espionage tactics is clearly the style of play that will provide the maximum amount of enjoyment with this game.

            The subtitle of the game "The Espionage RPG" really is something that should be paid attention to.

            Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

            Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

              There is a sense of accomplishment when you go into a mission and try to do it stealth and just get in and get out with no alarms going off. I know some people hate the mini-games but there is a sense of thrill when you unlock the last code before the timer hits 0.0. I'm definitely glad I picked this up.

                I'm going to get this on Friday. Can't ever have enough RPGs. I'm not expecting a masterpiece, just a great story that will keep me envolved. I know the combat is kinda bad, but I can overlook that if the story is great. Guess i'll find out Friday.

                    Passing on this after some hype from last year's E3. The shooting mechanics in the GT review look terrible.

                        Honestly, the shooting int his game isn't bad. If you level your skill in a weapons up high enough.

                            I think that the main thing that people who play, or are thinking about playing, this game have to understand is that it is a story based, stats based RPG first, recon(via intel gathering)/stealth game second, and shooting game last.

                            With the exception of the mini games(and even those can be influenced by choosing certain skills) the skills you give Thorton are much more important than your skills as a User.

                              Agreed. I am playing this as an Espionage RPG first and a shooter second and am enjoying the heck out of it.
