Anyone play it yet...friend brought it over...AWESOME!!

Haven't played it... Don't have one of those newer overpriced game consoles yet:p I saw the "trailer" for it at Electronics Boutique though, and I gotta say it looked VERY impressive...

That game makes me wanna buy a PS2, well that and GTA3. I dl'ed the trailer a while back, and when I saw the detail of the game i.e. when you knock over a bucket of ice, the larger pieces of ice melt slower than the smaller ones, I had to change my pants.

The game is very impressive in terms of gameplay, control, visuals, sound and music, etc. Mechanically, it's flawless. I have somewhat serious issues with the plot, however. It gets just plain weird towards the end of the game, and this rather detracted from my overall enjoyment of it. Still, it's possible to overlook this just because the game is so damn FUN. A less odd plot, and this game would easily have been my favorite game of the year.

That is, would have been my favorite game of the year UNTIL FFX CAME OUT! Read my FFX Journal for more info, if you're interested.
