The story really is fun, and the fact you can get the game so cheaply now makes it worth getting it for the story.

I got platinum and I rented this game.
Love the story!

Logan_24718d ago

Just finished this game last nite. I would give it a solid 8 out of 10. The best part of the game is it's story and voice acting which really kept me interested throughout the entire game. Very believable characters

bustercube4718d ago

A lot of media outlets were hyper critical of the game and most only scored it in the 7/10 range, but I believe the game's story really does push it to an 8/10 and anyone remotely interested should try it.

Tachyon_Nova4718d ago

It's a great game it's just a shame about the glitches. I'm upto chapter 14 and have run into a glitch which means I'm going to have restart the chapter (right at the end an event is supposed to trigger but it never does). I've also had issues where under certain circumstances my character would start walking leaving with no control or in some cases I could override it but it would happen again when I stopped touching the controls. Ive also had on several occasions guns continuously firing without input from me. Annoying that they haven't fixed these things in nearly a year, but its still a fun game.

bustercube4718d ago

I'm sorry to hear about that glitch, and it's too bad that no new update/patch has been released to fix those problems. Stick with it, I promise you'll enjoy the later chapters.

Tachyon_Nova4718d ago

Seeng as I'm upto the second last chapter, I was planning on sticking with it. Like I said, I think it is a great game so I have no concerns over its quality. Excellent story and well constructed characters.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya453d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled453d ago (Edited 453d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney453d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled453d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist453d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin453d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled453d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE453d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi453d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE453d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
