I just picked this game up yesterday and it's freaking awesome. The action is great, hit detection seems right on the money, the darkness powers are pretty cool and unique, and Mike Patton voicing the darkness is unreal. Plus, sticking a gun in a guy's mouth and watching his brain matter fly out the back of his head never gets old.

and as far as I can tell, saving Mikey does nothing. He seems to die after you go through all his daiologe anyways. It's much more fun to just shoot him in the face.

Finished the game last night and I'm disappointed with it. Im really glad I didnt buy it. The action parts are pretty fun but they really are nothing spectacular. There is some cool story plot points but it does drag on in most spots. The subway/city running around tasks are boing as fuck and really drag the pace of the game down. The loading, oh for fucks sake the loading sucks ass. I just wanted to play not listen to Jackies lame crap.

I give the game a 7. Its pretty cool but I'd never bother to slog through the story again, way too many boring stretches in between the little bits of action.

I rented this, and it is very cool. It probably won't appeal to the brainless set, as it has RPG elements mixed in with the killing. The PS3 version has Accomplishments, which I am assuming equate to the 360 Achievements. I'm not trying to get them all, but I have gotten several by playing the game. I was foiled in my attempt to bring down a helicopter with a shotgun though.

The irony is that you are supposed to run from the said helicopter.

And samurai the loading already only takes 7-10 seconds...it makes it alot more interesting and develops the plot considerabley. The running around parts actually are my favorite periods of the game. Doing the sidequests are loads of fun.

Anyone else detect a hint of latency in the movement controls? I don't notice it with the right analog (aiming), but the left analog feels pretty laggy to me. Try standing still and just tapping the controls left and right to see it--it's slight, but it's enough to piss me off when playing.

The default aiming settings are AWFUL. Look acceleration is never a good thing. Fortunately the game lets you max out the acceleration so that it's basically a non-factor, but the aiming still doesn't get anywhere near Halo-good.

Well yeah because its a full auto aim. Not like Halo where it only slows down when you pinpoint a target and not like Perfect Dark Zero where aiming feels like a bunch of crappy Salsa music.

And although i havent had a problem with this so called lag, i have a problem with how slow this guy runs. I mean he already looks really out of place(long hair and all)but he apparently runs like a fatass.
