rise of sin tzu

[maxter]

SOrry if this has already been discussed, newbie here. I was reading about the batman and batgirl action figures on the other board, but what's the word on the sin tzu game? I'm a batman fan anyway, so I'll definitely get it, but from what I've seen the game looks to be pretty awesome! Are there demos out or anything yet? Am I in for disappointment?

[Mzo]

No, there's no demo yet.

I'm being guardedly optimistic. I think it'll be a good game, but, then again, I haven't seen or played it yet, so my word means shit.

[bahn]

I did.

My main complaint is that I wish the game would've allowed up to four people to play at once. That right there would've made this a true gem to behold. Nevertheless, I am still picking it up.

I am sure Makaze, the Ziff Davis crew (thray-walsh, ferricide, dlinn) or GameSpy's BenT had a chance to check it out at E3 as well. Hopefully they're spot this thread and speak on the topic some more!

[thray-walsh]

The reviews were mixed. Yep, mixed.

thray, it has potential to be enjoyable for those that likes Streets of Rage/Turtles though. don't you agree?

Yeah, the variance in opinions among the reviewers means that while it's not for everyone, some gamers will dig it. Seems pretty damn tough, too, which is surprising for a game seemingly aimed kinda young.

hm. perhaps it is. well, that's ok. if it's fun, I will still enjoy it!

with 4 playable characters, it's quite the shame that it's only 2 player, much like turtles... we need a good 4 player beat-em-up to come out. Anyway, I think it looks cool, but I'll probably wait since I have so many games to get to first.

[Despair]

Hmm, Hopefully its good. I might give it a rent, to play it with dj.

Hey thanks for the info and comments. "Guardedly optimistic" is probably the right way to think about it. I noticed that they seem to be running some cool (for Batman fans anyway) promotions with the release, with Mattel action figures and drawing contests and stuff, plus the usual stuff like extra content on some platforms. Have to wait and see I guess, It's out the middle of next month right?
