hands on impressions to come this arvo.

Once again...........thank you freeloader

It's coming out here in April sometime locally. And my next game to import will be Zelda of course. The main reason why I'm even into gaming.

Well....ummm....have fun with the greatness other people have experienced with MP and soon with Zelda. But might I ask, are you importing the US version? I recommend waiting for the Euro version because of the new features/re-do's over the Japan/US version.

Yeh, you really should have waited. I mean, it's coming out on the 21st of this month in Europe. It will have voice overs, improved cutscenes, new cutscenes, new effects, a new animation for the grappling beam. And the game will be harder from the get go, with enemies being able to take more hits, and them being able to take more life off you. Also falling in Lava/acid will drain your life a bit faster, etc...

What new features?

*shrugs and walks away*

Oh, just to elaborate on the voices. There will be one for the introduction or something, and also during some cutscenes. What type, I have no idea.

I also forgot to mention there will be more items (I doubt about newer, though I'm not sure, just probably a few more missle expansions etc).

Hope you enjoy it bobcat, I'm still playing it also. Aren't the graphics great!

in the us version, there was ONE voice.... in the beginning it said "evacuate immediately" or whatever... that's the only one in the us version

bobcat · 03-10-2003, 11:16 PM

Oh great I didn't know that!

I don't care coz I'll have it sooner

bobcat · 03-11-2003, 02:35 AM

K I'm @ home now. I've done weights and skipping, now gotta eat. Then MP will be played by me.

TheGame · 03-11-2003, 02:44 AM

have fun with it... I know I didn't. The game just didn't draw me in from the gate like an OoT or a MGS... and I didn't liek the gameplay enough to even feel the need to go any deeper into the game.

Many peeps seem to like it though...

bobcat · 03-11-2003, 04:00 AM

Well overall it sux...............

that I didn't get the PAL version because I would have had all those added bonuses. But still I have the NTSC version and love it. I respect the minority of people who don't like it, but damn when I was rolling around as a ball, I don't see how you couldn't enjoy it. But of course different people have different opinions.

I've just passed the first level (well you know). Now I'm outside in the rain and stuff. Graphics are awesome. The ideas, the story and the levels have drawn me in. Especially the music/sound. My mum had a fit at the volume I had it at, but I'm really into this game, and so far think it's awesome.

Hey how much does it cost for you guys to buy this in the US? I payed $80 AUST including shipping fee. The funny thing is it would cost $100 AUST to buy locally. How weird is that

I play MP with headphones. I suggest you try it.

Crash · 03-11-2003, 03:15 PM

The Duggler · 03-11-2003, 03:21 PM

Ginkasa · 03-11-2003, 04:00 PM
