This week on Arcade: War World!!!

WOW!! I just bought some points on gamepointsnow.com.... pretty fast.. I paid and got my code right away!! Now all I have to do is wait till XBL comes back on... or is it already...

I bought it with MY OWN credit card.. so please stop PM'ing Doobiwan!!
 
The framerate issues they speak of, aren't present in the full version. You do notice scenary pop ups, and the collision detection isn't the greatest. I'm yet to try multiplayer though, which I feel should be the best part considering there isn't really a mission mode other than just fighting random mechs on different maps. I'm starting to feel 800MS might have been a bit much for this title as it seems to be lacking the 'fun' factor. But that's just my first thoughts. Will play some more to get a decent feel.

[UPDATE] So, first looks can be deceiving. The death match and especially multiplayer modes are brilliant. It is really where War World shines and is very addictive. As above, the frame rate issue is really non-existant and probably only 2 occasions I noticed a brief slow down for just under a second. I recommend this title.

Same here - got it yesterday and was blown away with the visuals first of all.

It is all shiny...and pretty...and fresh...and...and...the settings are really really awesome...one of the main stages that really stand out is the Hindu Temple with lush foilage, great looking temples and it looks vibrant.

I have to keep telling myself that... this is 144meg....this is 144meg...this is 144meg...

There is some slight pop in but I honestly cant find fault with this....this is 144meg afterall. There are no destructible environments (barrels dont explode???), that was something I sorely missed and really got used to in games...but this is 144meg after all.

I played a bit on the SP Arcade mode, the fun factor is not the highest, I'll probably try the SP Deathmatch mode during the week, this I feel wil be the place where this will be a winner.

The enemy AI is some of the best I have seen, the little fukkers that are running around and jumping nailing you with theuir guerilla tactics and then the huge goliaths that just stand and nail you from a distance with their heat-seeking misiles are awe inspiring, why could some other games not have this AI?

So, the end result, this game is worth 800 pts.
Get it now!
 
Kage, did you know it's only 144mb? :p

I got the demo and was a bit sceptical with the 45 second demo, but what little I saw I liked. If you guys reckon it's worth it, I'll pick it up tonight :D
 
also wasn't impressed with the 45 sec limit :/
i think i'll wait and see what other people's thoughts are, i have too many white elephant arcade games :o
/now back to castle crashers
