Anyone know what that was all about?

Perhaps you can take prisoners, order them to strip, and stack them into human pyramids. You can then upload your prisoner humiliation pictures to Xbox Live, to compare with your friends.

Or maybe not.

I bet the instruction manual's a corker:

"To fire your weapon, press the 'A' button. To throw a grenade, press the right trigger. To degrade, torture and photograph your foe, press 'B'. To provoke further outrage throughout the muslim world and do immeasurable damage to your Government's flimsy pretext of a morally just war, press the 'Y' button."

"To secure an oilfield, press the left trigger."

I heard a rumour that the retail version is heavily toned down from the army version. Anyone have any info on that?

Yes it is. But the game also contains a rock-hard Iron man mode. Here, all the enemies are more numerous, significantly tougher, and gamers are deprived of an on-screen HUD for the ultimate in realism.

Yeah, you're just the commander, you don't shoot. A new avenue for real time strategy games, methinks.

Doesn't that sound as dissatisfying as being a porno director instead of a porno star? :D except in this analogy you wouldn't get a blowjob after filming.

Yeah, im not too sure with this. Watched the IGN video review, it did looked nice, but I dont see myself having the patience to play through FSW, i mean, the tutorial is 45 minutes long. Overly complex imo. I dunno, i think i might just buy Riddick instead (getting extremly positive reviews, a 9.3 from Gamespot)

i was just reading the gamespot Riddick review, and man they REALLY loved it:

"The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay is one of those exceedingly rare types of games that delivers exceptionally high quality through and through and single-handedly ups the ante for all similar games. It's so unbelievably good that it almost feels like it was brought back in time, because most all of today's action games (on the Xbox or otherwise) just aren't in the same league. The fact that The Chronicles of Riddick also happens to be based on a movie franchise--something that's usually a bad sign for a game--makes it all the more incredible. You could call it a first-person shooter, but that'd be selling it short. This ambitious game is played mostly from a first-person perspective and effectively and innovatively combines excellent shooting, hand-to-hand combat, stealth, and adventure elements with a solid story and truly outstanding, highly atmospheric graphics and sound. It's easily one of the most-impressive games on the Xbox and seems destined to be remembered as the most inspiring collaboration between Hollywood and the gaming industry yet."

Nah, it couldn't...

Could it? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

It should certainly stand a better chance than most other titles due out this year...

But even if it doesn't it still looks utterly spectacular.

yeah but I heard the original game had scenarios that were designed to be unwinnable, and the goal was to retreat with as few casualties as possible. Stuff like that sounds like it could actually push the boundaries of game design.

Well Gamespot have given it 7.7 and I reckon after Eurogamer and NTSC-UK they're the most reliable source on the net. A lot of what they say seems to tie in with my fears from watching a lot of the videos. http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/strategy/full...ior/review.html and to sum up it's just too linear, repetitive but is fairly compelling none the less just not groundbreaking.

I can't honestly be bothered to read three pages (!) of Gamespot nonsense, but from browsing it, it sounds as if Greg Kasavin is not a fan of the game's concept. If that's the case, then a score of 7.7 is quite remarkable.

Some will get it. Others won't. Halo is repetitive too. And so on. Let's just say I'm not too worried by a Gamespot review (nor too excited by an IGN review).

Got through to mission3 last night. What can I say. I love this game.

I can't see it being for everyone. It's very slow, very methodical, but bloody good fun.

I love the way the chracters interact and the charactirsation of each of them seems excelent.

If you are expecting a fast paced shooter you are goign tobe sorly dissapointed.

If you love the Film Black Hawk down, and want to get down and dirty with the US Marines, directing covering fire, calling in artuilery and moving from street to street thenyou are goign to absoloutly adore this game.

Fan fuckign tastic in my eyes

Edge score prediction - hmmmmmmmmmmm 8, possibly a 9.
