I'm thinking PS2 sales could go up over the next few days. Mate of mine went out last night and brought a PS2 just for this game
Yea, your probably right, one of the most anticipated games of the year....From what I have seen so far it looks amazing....eagerly awaiting friday now...

On the site they say they ain't got enough to meet demand but another batch are on route!

So, back to the topic, first Ł100 secures special delivery Fri morning

It's not got online capabilty

They said to do so would take too much away from the game and detract from the storyline

Sorry but i hardly noticed any difference between the PS2 and PC version...i've never seen XBOX but presume its just like the PC version.

Only things i noticed were, higher quality textures and a better frame rate. And its not as if either of those factors caused the PS2 version to be pants.

PS2 all the way for me! Best pads by a country mile. Playing the PC version via mouse and keyboard was cack.

depends what youre used to... i prefer the mouse over gamepads by miles...

infact the mouse is so easy to useaim with that they even removed the "lock-on" feature from the PC versions
