I have two going right now that probably could use a better way of doing the fight scenes.

Status : Online | Actually I couldn't find any "in-game" support for gamepads mentioned anywhere in the PC version which is rather odd, otherwise I'd have used my own gamepad rather than mouse/keyboard (which actually works pretty well considering how these sort of games normally turn out on the PC).
I suppose you could map different keys to a gamepad controls outside of the game but I can never be bothered to sort all that out and I don't like running extra software in the background if it can be avoided.

Status : Online | Whew... played for a solid day and I just got stuck at a place where I can't go on because there's an unpatched bug in the game. I won't spoil anything, but just so you guys know... if you ever need a second triangle key and it doesn't fall from the ceiling, that's a bug and don't bother trying all sorts of crazy stuff to get it, becuse it's not going to work This only happens on ceratin systems though, and only if you have version 1.01 and not 1.00
Sorta makes me mad... I payed for this game, I shouldn't have to stop and wait for Ubisoft to get their act together. The ubi forums are going crazy over this, by the way, so it should be fixed soon.

| Deleted User | Hmm, you've all managed to peak my curiosity about this one. Think I'll go out and grab a copy. After all, a JA recommendation hasn't lead me astray yet!

These are minor qualms though. It's great for the 15 hours that it lasts, tons of atmosphere, some of the first stealth I've actually enjoyed. I don't regret buying it.

Status : Online | :'( A lot of sites have already had to reduce the price on this great game (I'm halfway through the ps2 version and I love it). There's no reason given, but probably low sales. It's horrible because every review i've read has been great. I'm worried know that we won't see a sequel or anything like this for a while now.

Thanks all here, chances are I would not have bought the game had I not read the comments on it here

Yep, I ended up buying this game and I absolutely LOVED it. I finished off the final BOSS too.. Can't say enough good things about this title, it was a VERY pleasant surprise.
I know what you mean about NOLF. That was a brilliant game, then they destroyed the thing with NOLF 2 (Which was merely OK).
There's a lot of great games that just don't sell. I really enjoyed GIANTS by planet Moon. Extremely funny (although maybe one or 2 too many base building missions ) and didn't sell well enough to merit a sequel

As for BG&E - this one slipped completely under my radar. Only noticed it was in the Underdogs belated hall of fame this week. I feel an ebay coming on...

Actually I thought the 2nd was every bit as good as the 1st, but neither of them sold very well. I wonder if this has anything to do with a female action hero not appealing to the general gaming public.

Sacrifice is really great. A revolutionary, gorgeous game. It has a pretty steep learning curve, maybe that's why people didn't "get it" ???
I don't understand the case of Giant though; the game has it all !

What was your method of play Randdom?
