Is it really? It's gotten so many mixed reviews that it's hard for me to make a decision on it. The little bit I played seemed to control pretty akward. I mean, the original controlled horribly, so I wasn't expecting much, but it doesn't really seem to hold up with the way platformers work these days.

I got The Outfit for Xbox...also picked up a third controller with a battery pack.

So far I;ve only done multiplayer. I read single player sucks but the game was only 40 and since most 360 games are 60 and I enjoyed the demo I said why not. Reminds me of Freedom Fighters with more options and less of that raped feeling. In FF if someone had a shotgun you were all screwed.

Anyways yeah...I only play games with friends usually now of days so it's worth it for me.

I for one never said it wasn't. It's just too easy and at some points so cheesy it hurts.

I guess you meant syrup? OF THE MAPLE VARIETY? Yes, we do suck down syrup on occasion here in Canada.

Speaking of FF, how is everyone liking that Gambit sytem for FFXII? As if FF wasn't enough of a game as it was. lolz

In my lousy dictionary it's spelled "sirup"...
I probably won't touch FFXII, what I've seen from it so far disgusted me. I've read that the gambit system is like a bad imitation of the "Kotor" battle system. How does that one work?

I'm not passing judgement until I see it for myself. As a FF lover now and forever, I kinda feel obligated to play it. Well, I already preordered the collectors edition, so we'll see how it is in October.

That's the way I look at it. I thought it was exactly like the KOTOR battle system at first, which actually made me want to try the game out, but upon further investigation it just looks retarded.

Basically, your team mates are on screen at all times with you. The enemies don't randomly pop up out of no where. When you encounter an enemy the game pauses and asks for your command. You can switch between each team member and select their actions aswell, or let the game's AI handle their attacks and movements. (You can set up what their primary AI is. Such as healer, gunner, up close combat etc.)

It's a great engine... In KOTOR. I need to play FF before judging it, but from the demo I played and all I've read it doesn't seem as well made as KOTOR's engine.

I played it at E3, and I thought it sucked, but ignore my opinion because I know absoultely nothing about Final Fantasy.

The problem with this game is that it has completely different gameplay mechanics. I'm all for innovation but if you change the gameplay of an established franchise to the point that it's a complete different game, that's where I draw the line. It seems like Square listened to the angry mob since FFXIII is going back to (as announced "more dynamic") turned-based combat.
