The scenario for this looks REALLY simmilar to a FPS that was the same-but-russians on the original Xbox, classic game but reviewed badly. Ah - Freedom Fighters.

serioulsy underrated game, with a fantastic atmosphere that one.

Guerilla warefare in a war torn manhatten in the night time with snow, great stuff.

will checkout Turning point, when i get home.

It's a silly (but not in a smug way), slightly old-ish looking third person shooter.

For this, it shall go on the list next to The Thing and Kane & Lynch as Good Things.

OK, so I can't download the game MS are giving me to compensate for Live being shit, because Live is being shit.

Fucks sake.

Anyone else got Undertow downloaded?

Yep. It complained a couple of times with an error code, so I quit back to the list of all games, waited a few seconds before trying again, and then it was fine. The download was really fast actually, once it started.

Took a couple of tries but it downloaded eventually.

I got an error - but strangely when I checked it had actually unlocked the full version. Odd!!

I also tried to set a demo going and got several errors before it finally started to download......

Did nothing for me when I tried the demo a few weeks ago - played it again tonight - still nothing!!

Quite why it got such good reviews is beyond me. S'pose that at least i've not had to pay for it....

It's doing that 'yeah, lets make the characters cliche comedy British people, thats always good for a laugh' thing that really winds me up.

If you're doing British characters, get them right, like CoD4, Fable and Giants

THAT moustache from CoD 4 is a highlight of last year's games.

I've always wanted to do a beat-em-up with regional British characters. It would be a thing of beauty done well. Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Scouse, Geordie, Brummie, West Country, Norfolk, Laaandan etc. Awesome.

Man, Undertow is relentlessly boring and dreary - I actually felt quite bleak after playing it. One of those games that's just completely devoid of feel or dynamics, a total chore.

Live still totally fucked for me in the evening - nearly an entire month of this now.

Yeah, it's spitting out error codes left and right. Usually on the 2nd or 3rd try it goes.

Apparently the multi-player in Undertow is suppose to be good.

I found Turning Point:Fall of Liberty to be a good idea badly executed. Average visuals (some shockingly bad exteriors), small FOV (I'm talking fish-eye lense compared to some FPS games), strangely stilted controls for turning and movement and combat of the old-school MoH style.

Not really a buyer for me, anyway.
