It's a bit too silly for me. You'll bump into a table by accident and "Tequila" will slide across it. The sliding up and down stair railings aspect is cool but a bit ridiculous. And you can kill someone with a single shotgun blast from like 50 feet away. And when you do the slow-motion thing with the shotgun, it's regular bullets not shot.
Overall I'd say amusing enough to download, rental if desperate for something to play while waiting for another game to come out. Definitely not a buy (how many Midway games are?) unless you're getting the PS3 version for Hard Boiled (one of the best Hong Kong action movies).
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
