I rented this, but after about 15 minutes I gave up trying to enjoy it. Very meh.

JJ: Yeah, I have one and they're really not worth it. Two or three good games don't really justify the price tag.

I dunno, I just didn't dig on it. I'm one of those people that can't really get into recent games with a weak story, though. Hell, I'm the sort of person that bitched about Gears of War for having not enough exposition. A strong narrative is extremely important to my enjoyment of a modern (I.E., PS2-generation onward) game. So basically, I couldn't get into it because of the story.

Your review said waht I've heard from friends about this game; pretty good, but not really outstanding or anything like that. And at this point, how many games I get is getting pretty limited (stupid concept of money); thus, I need to be very selective in my purchases, and I don't see this one making the cut. But a friend of mine's got it, maybe I'll borrow it for a bit (I do love games with alien baddies munchin' on people, and the snow enviorments seem like a nice touch).

On a side note, Dead Rising was excellent beyond all known measure. You should review that one at some point.

Ah. So I take it you didn't like Dead Rising because of its cheesy story.

I can't wait for the Dead Rising sequel.

I loved it, it plays really well. Far too short for me though, by the time it ended I was like. :D.... Wait, it's over!?
