the reason on why i said no "get DTR" is cause i don't wanna pay 50 bux for a game... never thought that 50 was worth a game.

I don't think so. It is a fairly short game with no replay value. It is a good renter, but not to buy. And you won't need the strategy guide, I was never stuck anywhere during the game, all you do is shoot guys. I would pay 12 dollars more to get a quality game. :o

I pay $50 for quality, and something I like.... I wont buy a game just b/c its $38 or whatever and I want a new game. Save up your money and buy something you will actually like.

meh.... thanx guys... i still got until thrusday (day of school :( )
to think about it... im not too much of a multiplayer guy (don't have the right friends)... and if anyone has played the single player levels in halo as much as me.... (most people do go for the multiplay right??)

anyways... nothing could be shorter than Gun Metal (it said i beat it in 97:14 er...something) 40 bucks for 1 hour and 40 minutes of entertainment isn't really worth it. im sure max payne is longer than that.

Max Payne will take you longer than that. I'd say it was a good buy if you don't mind the limited replay value. I bought it, and I'm glad I did, but I probably could have saved some $$$.

I beat it on the easiest and hardest levels, and haven't touched it since. Basically, it'll sit on my shelf till the next title that I want to trade-in for comes out. I've been putting it off 'cause I really liked it and thought I might pick it up again, but I haven't.
