KylieDog,

Are you playing on Normal or Hard?

I played it on Normal, and found it to be pretty easy all the way through. I'll get around to trying it on Hard eventually (have it on loan to a friend at the moment).

The firing patterns of the enemies get much more intricate toward the end of the game, when there are 5 or more people shooting at you, each with his own pattern and weapon of choice (some that can do minor damage to you even when you are under cover). You have to stay under cover, count shots, memorize patterns, and then find the gap when you can jump out and take a shot or two. If you miss the gap or don't make the best of it with head shots, you have to get back under cover and wait a while for the next gap to come along. I enjoyed this part of the game the most. My friend, however, says he enjoys the rescue missions the most.

I found this game to have a lot of flaws in it. (KylieDog mentioned a large number of them.) And yet, I still somehow found it addicting. I finished it in just under 11 hours over a period of 3 days, which is much faster than how I normally play games. I think a big reason for this was because the dramatic pacing reminded me a lot of "24" (Jack Bauer) and I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen in the next scene.

I would really like to see a more polished sequel to this game.

Thanks for the info

That last comment is why I like Nintendo games. I feel, too often, that developers run out of steam. They put the effort and budget into the first few levels and then it's all down hill.

I´ll get it today

I'm gettin it!

I got it!

i'm moving more and more towards a purchase... might take a look at it tomorrow!

Just played a bit and it's what I was hoping for:

Fun
Funny (though maybe unintentional)
Different to what is coming out these days

Not very impressive technically, but good rythm, good gameplay, was tough putting it down.

Bought Fable II at the same time but will not touch before a while with Disaster (good thing LBP got delayed cause I would have bought that as well and then I would have gotten a real log jam on my hands...).

Conclusion: first impression of Disaster is a good one!
