Think I'm going to pick this up over the weekend just to expand my Wii library. Would order now but website is blocked in work.

Cheers again,

Eurogamer - who mark well in my opinion said this:

"Far Cry: Vengeance, for all its many, many faults, is the first Wii game to get first-person shooter controls absolutely, totally right."

which sounds good. And this"

"In deciding on a final mark for Far Cry, it would be easy to weigh up all the things which the game gets wrong and decide that they balance out harshly. However, it's impossible to escape the fact that playing the game was actually quite compelling, in a sense; at no point was it an unpleasant game to play, it's merely completely retrograde in several key areas and lacking any sense of presentation or style. It's an ugly game, but one which, crucially, works as a game at its most basic level - which, to my mind, weighs heavily against the problems it has in most other areas. Be warned, though, that the just-about-average score is not even a particularly cautious recommendation - rather it is a tip of the hat to the key things that Far Cry does right, and a note of hope that better made games in future will learn from its successes rather than falling foul of its failures."

Which sounds bad.

Also LewieP thanks for the gba micro pack deal. I picked that up just for the usb charger. I also picked up Outrun 2 coast2coast for a tenner for the Xbox. Amazing game.

I'm still tempted though...

I know, it's an odd one this isn't it. I was vaguely tempted to get it before I read reviews. Then that very review made me certain I would be disappointed at full price.

At this price it's worth considering...
