Anyone here gonna buy this game? I don't know alot about it but my question is the game gonna be pretty much like Grand Theft Auto games? I like GTA, but hope it's not too much like it because I don't like games that are the same.

I have it.
Its not really like GTA, it is much more realistic.
There is not much freedom like GTA, you have to do one mission after another, theres no other tings to do part from missions.
Dont buy it if ur expectin GTA coz it is a diff game.

I pre-ordered it for two reasons: One, I loved the movie (Steve McQueen is the man! ); and two, the guy at the counter said it would be a lot like GTA. Hopefully I will enjoy it. Predator 1, do you like it?

nahh sorry Capo de La Cosa Nostra, it's a PS2 Exculsive..This game has gotten mixed reviews from as low as a 3 to a 10. There is no map's at all the developers wanted to make it as realistic as possible..

I heard it was supposed to be really good. Friends at school all wanna get it and say it's awesome. I even saw the commercial for it last night and thought it looked really cool. But, I read the review for it at http://www.ign.com and it says it's not that great. It only got a 7.0, and a bunch of people at my brother's forum said it's pretty lame. It makes me wonder if I should get it or not.

I was skeptical myself at first. So far I have read four reviews of it: gamespot.com gave it a 6.9, game informer gave it a 9, electronic gaming monthly gave it an 8 and gamepro.com gave it a total score of 18.5 out of 20. I got it yesterday and I like the game alot. Too many people who give it crappy ratings are trying to dissect by the GTA games. It's not a Rockstar game, so it's not gonna be as great as those. Yet, it is a little mix of the Driver games and GTA. If you like Guy Richie films, then you should get it because it is basically a movie in a video game.

Can you give me storyline information along with your own small review with no spoilers?

One reason I love this game is because it is so realistic. You have to abide by the rules of the road, for the most part, so cops won't chase you (and of course there are no police bribes!) and you can take people hostage and shit. I don't really like how there is no "screen clutter" or power-ups because I do think it's pretty gay to have to lean against a wall for power, but that's just me. It's really a trip to see licensed car logos and storefronts though (I saw a WHSmith, which was cool). One thing I couldn't believe I saw was a "Queen Of The Damned" marquis, with the movie poster and all, playing at some theatre. It's stuff like that kind of realism that makes this a great game. My score: Despite the few problems, I give this game a 9 out of 10. Definitely worth the money.

I read a review for it on IMDb and, the review was kind of mixed . It looks really cool and I can't wait to get it. But the guy that reviewed it said it had great graphics and was really realistic, but he also said that it was hard to control and that it is very easy to get lost. That won't stop me from buying it.

It is goddamned hard to find your way around London, mostly because the city is so fucking confusing! There are lines everywhere on the roads and the streets, in some places, diverge into fifty other roads. I think it is fucking stupid that the developers didn't include a map, because it is damn near impossible to find your way around.
One thing I love is the language: I've never heard the words "fuck", "fuckin'", and "fucking" spoken so many times in a video game before. Also, the cutscenes and the story are top-notch. Overall, like I said before, it is a great game, despite its problems.

My friend told me it was on the demo. I said it was just probably like that because it's a demo, and he said he didn't think so.

Thanks for the info!

Does anyone know any cheats? I hardly ever use cheats, but some of the mission's are pretty hard.

I just bought it and I must say, it's hard. I'm on the second level and I keep dying! The first level looks like something from "Ronin", and the graphics are great and it is very realistic. All in all, I'm glad I bought it. And I also bought the guide for it.

Jeez... The first levels are that hard? Makes you wonder how hard the final ones are. At least it's a challenge.
