Man. I went with a huge bonus check in my pocket. Just looking to unload it on some suspecting clerk. Wondering what would help me pass time.
I ask, "What do you like. What's different? What can I play that will be fun & entertaining but be new and exciting?"
What do you like?
The obvious, I replied: HALO, Brute Force, Deus Ex, Ninja Gaiden... I even told him of my recent Different purchases like Hidden & Dangerous which is both funny and fun.
He determines that I love shooters and makes his recommendations where it goes in one ear and out the other. Who ever really listens to their suggestions?
I ask flat out: What do you like more? Rid****, or Rainbow Six 3? He claims it's a no-brainer.
News to me!
When I got it home, I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd played these other "Clancy Games" before, but only the Demo's. I wasn't quite prepared for it. Not at all...
(To not take from the story, I don't have LIVE yet but need it. I bought the one with the Headset to get ready for the LIVE season of a life time: Holiday '04)
This game is so immersive that I could feel the presence of my enemies on me. So quickly you can fall... So real is the surround sound. The game is simply phenomal. Simply put. Whoever hasn't bought this game yet really needs to.
But that's just the game. I want to go on another tangent: NPC's.
In Halo, they were great. You could tell they were thinking and that they were there for you and everything else. But there were several times that you just wish you could tell them to sit tight over here while I go and take out a bunch over there! But you couldn't. They'd see and they'd attack. (...If they'd just stay behind the hill!!!! haha)
Then Brute Force came out & one of the best things about that game was the fact that you didn't have a buch of moron's running around. They'd actually follow you & attack for you and do everything for, or, With you! It was great and I love that game too!
But this one, with the Headset. All I have to do is say, "Open Flash & Clear, on Zulu"
THen: "Roger"
I'm so happy! It's been a long while since there was a game that I could sit there and play a game non-stop... A long time. But this one is so awesome that I can't help it! I've had it two days and have already played a good 12 hours on it. I can't sleep until I save the Hostages. I can't sleep unless I've annhilated the Terrorists.
What a great game... Why didn't you guys give this a 9.6?!! How about a 9.8? Amazing.
The Headset is like your walkie-talkie that they're all using. Ingenious! It does't interfere with the 5.1 surround sound either! I'm totally digging it!
The thing that's got me is this is just the single player campaign. I'm going to buy LIVE because of this game. Not because of HALO 2. Because of this one.
I can't wait to use stealth on this one. It's like the difference between me playing HALO singly & then going to a LAN party!
You LIVE *******s better get ready for Brutus! Coming Soon to a TV near you!
