I had the metal-case special edition in my hand the other night at Best Buy, but decided not to get it (bought my son and I a pair of DS Lites). Is it really that good? I've only played the original on the GC.

The game play is a bit smoother due to being able to aim better. So far I am just at the begining. I will be playing it more this weekend hopefully.

I'm gonna trade my old ones in and get this Tuesday... I liked all three and will be glad to have them all on the same disc with motion control. :) (GameStop has an extra 20% trade-in credit when you trade in 2 or more games towards a new game until the 13th.)

Prime freezing was a common problem due to a badly written scene loader. The game loads rooms while you're in the connecting tunnels and if you go through the tunnel too quickly and the door opens before the level is loaded... BOOM! The UK and NA Player's Choice versions were supposedly fixed so the doors won't open til the loader signals it's finished.

My freezes always happened when changing zones in the elevators. It would freeze right when the name of the zone was displayed. That part I could deal with but what I hated most was the corrupting of the save files. I constantly made backups on memory cards. It would corrupt them as soon as I tried to load them even if they previously worked before.

I think it was the same problem. The elevators had the same function as the corridors. They distracted you from the load time. (The elevator going from the ruins at the end of the game to the last "world" is where mine usually crashed too.) I only had card corruption problems using non-Nintendo game cards.

Wha?! :| :woot:

Yeah, it was pretty cool looking. We were walking up to the checkout, and I saw this little table full of copies of this game, picked one up, and thought it was really heavy (for a game) and really cold. Then really looked at it, and saw it was some sort of collectors edition. Almost bought it just for that fact alone. Might have to go back and get it now, since I'd not heard much about it before.

Just tried playing it.

I haven't played #2 yet but I just tried playing #1. I thought the controls were ****ing awful. The controls felt very unnatural. I want to be able to control his 360 range of motion using the stick not the wimote. Sure aiming with the wimote is nice but not turning him.

      Did Labour lose big? They had losses there is no doubt. However let's look at the reality. The conservatives have 168 councils I believe. Labour have 113 and Reform...38. That's a lot of growth for Reform granted. But that is not a wipeout, Reform don't have the majoring in fact at 76 I believe the Liberal Democrats have nearly twice the councils Reform do. So I am thinking there is a lot more noise than signal going on here. Now then let's talk about the law. It's an age restriction. We do it for cigarettes, **** and alcohol. This idea that some kids will find there way around it so it's not worth even trying is really really sad. Hell we can't stop every murder. Should we stop trying there too? That is the logical conclusion.

      A game not selling doesn't mean the people working on it did "bad work". It reviewed decently well. It was also on gamepass on release.
