The dpad on the 360 is terrible, my 8 decade old megadrive controller has a better dpad, so does a £3 no name pc controller i got. Why the dpad is a mess is anyones guess, i think they messed it up avoiding current patents.

Should i get this for PC or 360? I usually dislike analog control scheme of 360, but some games are definitely better with a controller.

Or maybe I can get for PC and hookup my 360 controller…oh the choices.

My Steam also displays a price tag of £35, higher than any retail. What a surprise.

Funky Badger:

It’s more that people are saying it looks like an original Xbox/ PS2 title, which isn’t really all that correct. The average “graphics level” (if such a thing can be measured) on those two was lower than this game, which is to say that this game does not look like a title that would appear on those two consoles.

Looking back, perhaps my post was too poorly written!

The publisher is Activision. They’re TERRIBLE about digital distribution. They were trying to sell Call of Duty 4 for £40 on Steam when most retail places were selling the boxed version for £25 or less.

It’s probably best to get it off Play.com or equivalent.

£35 or 59,99€ on Steam. Thats what I call a deal!

Only that it isn’t. Seriusly, WTF? Most expensive game on Steam ever.

Just a reminder to people – Kieron did play this back at NYCC, and wanted to steal the demo booth.

And also confirms that it’s basically Hulk:UD2. No mention of terrible graphics or boring gameplay though, which is sure to dissapoint those apparently grumpy people who don’t want nice things.

i dont care that the graphics look a bit dated as long as it they keep the requirements down, if they ask me for GTA4 grade hardware then screw them

Post Maker: graphics ain’t the most important thing. Nintendo know this…
