    Played over an hour and a half. Did a few missions.

    I think its a great game so far. The somewhat repetitive environments dont bother me because its well done, its not just brown like Red Faction, I like the art style and lets face it cowboys are bad ass sort of like ninjas and so is the wild west. I dig the wild west theme and its cool that its a change of pace from space marines and killing aliens etc.

    The only things that bother me somewhat are the framerate dips when you get on your horse and kick it to move fast… also a tad bothersome is the noticeable pop in of background environment objects and textures. I read that those two things are better on 360 and it does kinda suck but if you only have a ps3 then i wouldn’t sweat it. Honestly it shouldn’t be a deal breaker but yeah it always does kinda sucks to have the inferior version even if its only marginally.

    As to how much worse it is on the ps3 it may not be much because people are noting framerate dips on the 360 version. I would just hold off for the digital foundry analysis but they say monday they will post that because they are in the UK and had to buy them as well.

    Im going to probably get this after a price drop because the game seems long as shit and I wouldnt be able to get to it for weeks anyway so ill probly get it from gamefly then keep it in a week or so. plus it will be cheaper anyway. Honestly they say the multiplayer isnt all that anyway so…. :confused:

    Other than those things the game looks good and seems fun. I would play it through and only stopped because i was tired as shit. Its no uncharted 2 graphically at all but if you think Alan Wake looked good then this is about on par to a bit better that in graphical quality.

    So yeah… :^:
