Just got it at the midnight launch at Tesco! They had 1000 copies and there must have only been about 200 people. I can confirm the Tesco deals that someone else put up earlier are correct, I ended up going for the game + PSN £20 card for £45.

Only had to queue for 15 minutes once they had released it, probably about 45 mins in total. Very happy indeed! :)

Can't say the queue in Asda was as long as it was for MW2, didn't quite reach the freezer section this year, but there were two lines this time splitting up people with pre-orders and those without.

Playing on normal at the moment, I've died only twice thus far, both from grenades, which I hope isn't a sign of things to come fromthe rest of the game, and really hope it isnt like that in veteran.

Have the game since today for PS3 and didn't bother with the SP.... went straight to the MP and am Level 14 now :p

The only thing that hits my eyes is how bad it looks compared to MW2 PC but oh well.... 720p =/= 1080p :(

Sigh, I'm bored of a certain point in a level already at the moment, doesn't seem to want to checkpoint, it's like they took the most annoying part of the Japanese sections of WaW and decided to have another go, yey more infinite spawns. :rolleyes:

Sweet, looks like treyarch didn't listen all of the communities concerns. Infinite respawns FTL. Irregardless, my time in single player will be short and sweet, MP is the bread and butter.

It's not all levels, it is just one I have come across where it is apparent and is somewhat related to what was going on, but there was no checkpoint going on during that section and they would spawn infront and behind me regardless of how many I killed, so when I did get to move forward after clearing some enemies out I would get shot up form behind, then shot from the front again.

Maybe I am just tired, but it was irritating enough to quit single player and spend some time in Multi-player instead, which is rarely what I do, lol.

But the game has taken the improvements made from MW2, atleast so far I haven't come across grenade spamming or besides the one time any other infinite respawns.

      Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

      This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
