You know...

My only complaint so far was that the controls felt really stiff in parts, when what they're really going for in a game like this is fluidity and being able to get from one enemy to another easily

I do like that they just got rid of a meter for the bullet time, and just let you use it whenever you want.

I'll probably wait for the price to drop before I get it, though, cause I'm strapped for cash.

Um yeah. That. But also...

Definitely not a day-one purchase, but once it inevitably hits the £20 mark a few months down the line I'll pick it up for sure. It seems alright, but I don't really see it getting more than average-to-decent reviews.

Oh, and the music is fantastic.

Yeah, those.

I'll be buying this when it's cheaper. The score, however, is tremendous. Same guy who does the music for Beck.

How ya doing, buddy?

I can't agree that it's shitty. It isn't a horrible game, as it has a lot going for it, it just isn't amazing. The Tarantino references in all the reviews are very apt, but not for the reason most of the critics use it.

It's a lot of flash and very little substance. If people just said it was fun with a lot of style, it'd be fine. Because that's what this is. It's not a piece of shit, but it's not tremendous. It's just well polished.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
