If you did, how is it?
Is it worth buying or just renting?
Any info is appreciated.

Can't find it anywhere. Called every Best Buy, which was supposed to get it today and none have it. Quite a few stores confirmed they were getting it tomorrow though...we'll see.

Yeah I went to best buy looking for it as well, the unknowledgeable people just said "if it isint there, we dont have it" They couldnt even tell me when they were suppost to get it in, although I didnt find an area for it to be so I know it wasnt sold out, if it isint out anywhere today, it prolly got shipped late if it isint delayed...

According to a Microsoft press release...


Xbox players can look forward to more games to be released in the months ahead. Among the most anticipated titles are Blood Wake, a vehicular combat game fought on the water, due at retailers by Jan. 1

31st for Bloodwake... microplay, eb and futureshop are confirming that.... **** I hate this...why not just pick a date and deliver. Make it a week after you plan on putting it out and then surprise everyone to create interest, what its not a hard thing to do!....

i asked the guy working at EB when they were going to have it and he said Saturday...i don't know if that means they'll have it at the store for stock, or if they will really sell it....anyways, i just can't wait for this game to come out...looks awessome

Bloodwake was a little iffy for me for the past few weeks. I recently decided that I'd get it, even though I was a little worried about it being good. Now that I'm seeing all this hype though I'm getting excited to get it! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Don't get a woody just yet, no one I know has played this game and I can only realise how interesting riding around and blowin stuff up in a boat can be. I just think it's one of the more promising games coming out because of the water simulation.

i went to target and best buy, i had this weird guy that we still dont know today if he was a guy, he had know idea when it was coming in although they told me over the phone that it was coming in the 27th. Im gettting it tomorrow then.

I got it...its pretty **** fun and looks really nice, the water is just really clear and the gameplay is simple.This is a pure just get in the boat and shoot the hell outta everythign kinda game, but it really does look nice and its kinda funny cuz you can drive your boat into stuff...including people and flip all over the place...submurge...stuff like that...

I'm busy playing so yeah....:P

Yea, I picked it up today at a local EB store (the only one that had it out of 6 around my house).

Just would like to say that this game is sooo awesome!!!! The thing that I like most about it is that the game progressively gets harder. So if you are on easy difficulty, it'll still feel like hard once you get through a couple of missions.

I'm kinda stuck on a level right now, but I got close to beating it. Back to Blood Wake and those TURRENTS!

I just took back Simpson's and got Bloodwake from EB. They gave me $53 for Simpson's and BW only cost $50. I got a 3 dollar profit plus played Simpson's for a month. Cool deal, but haven't played BW yet. Going to very soon.

why would they give you $53 - doesn't it only sell for $50??

Why did they give you a refund if it was opened?

EB is about the best place I know for taking stuff back. They always take back games and never even check to see if they're working. I've returned about 5 games so far and 3 of those were recently and Xbox games.

Btw, I've been playing BW a little and it is pretty **** good. They did a pretty good job with it.

My eb will only exchange it out for the same game, they wont give you your money back or let you pick another game. You guys are lucky!

I got my copy of BW on Saturday and I've enjoyed playing it on single player thus far. 3 xboxers and I played it 4 player and we thought it was decent, but nothing like 4 player halo.

Well it was opened but I took it to Toys R Us an hour earlier and exchanged it for another one. Just said it skipped. Yeah a little sneaky and dishonest but I was really disappointed with that game. So now that i had a shrink wrapped copy I went to EB and the guy said to bring it in. The thing was that they were selling it for $53. The only game that wasn't $50. Don't ask me why. Hell Circuit City was selling it for $40 this past week. You could have bought it there and taken it to EB, get $13 extra bucks and bought another game.

I did find another software store near me that will exchange any game, even if opened for up to 7 days. Now that is a sweet deal. Beats having to rent it and finding out that you like it and then spending more money on it.

Played BW some more last night. Very nice title. Wish it had system link or online play available. Some of the water effects just aren't right, but still, very fun game.

Lynxfx you might have something there but the only games I really dont want anymore I bought with my xbox so they are past the stores 30 day return policy

LynxFX

Yeah it is a cheap and sneaky way of doing it and I won't do it with every game I get. Just that I really wanted to get rid of the Simpsons bad. :D

Frostberg, actually if you really do want to get rid of some of your launch titles you can still do it. Just say it was a christmas gift. Toys R Us had a guy at the front just waiting for people with christmas returns or exchanges. Say that it freezes or skips and they will replace it with one in stock and give you a fresh shrinkwrapped one. Then just take it to Best Buy or EB or any other store that doesn't care about receipts. For them it won't matter at all since they are just swapping out games and will sell the game you are giving anyway.

I think I will only do this when I get a real stinker.

cadetlinux,

I never got the email from you. I sent you another private message saying that and to try again and I never heard back. Sorry but I couldn't wait any longer. You are better off anyway, it is at most a rental. :)
