They kinda harsh on the suffering but teh rest was dead on. Like ninja gaiden, splinter cell, and i was surprised by breakdown now i am definatley going to get it for there were some por rviews but alot of magazines are giving it high 7 to high 8.

That's too harsh on Unreal 2. I don't agree with a lot of those ratings except for Pandora. I bet that title will smoke.

Unreal II was bad. I never expect slow framerates and super long load times from a console game. That is just unforgivable. Glad I only rented it, cause it's not worth a buy in my opinion. Online play doesnt even make this one worth it either.

I thought the worst part was the lack of options. Auto restart in MP was annoying, and no single player campaing? (but worth $20 bucks)
Thier reviews are pretty accurate all around. Pandora Tomorrow looks great (except on GBA):cheers:
