Anyone bought this for PS2 yet?

Was considering this at the weekend but haven't seen any reviews/heard anything about it.

Yeah, its had top reviews.

I would've bought it, but I'm totoally immersed in Commandos II right now and can't put it down.

Also waiting for Pro Evo Soccer on Nov16th - the first proper PAL footie game for PS2!

Got ot in the office today. Haven't played it myself yet but it's meant to have unlimted amount of little touches. So much going on that you have no limits to where you can go. Sounds good I'll have to have a go later.

Thanks for the replies so far guys - looks like I'll be paying Virgin a visit on the way home this evening

Not the best day in the office so some gratuitous violence will probably help

This game is just too good.

And if you can stand the wait (of a day or two) www.play247.com have it for 30 quid delivered

Has anyone worked out how to 'interact' with the prostitutes yet ? I can get them back to my lockup, but just end up clubbing them to death with the baseball bat in frustration after that ... Yes its that sort of game

This game is not for the kiddies, you have been warned!

Andrew.

Andrew- Pull up to a lady of the night in a half decent car(to battered and nothing will happen) and not a taxi, police car etc... when she gets in just park up somewhere quiet away from most other people and the car will start to rock......you lose money but can get up to 125 health......then the best thing to do when she is finished, is get out when she does and beat her with the bat and kill her and then take your money back........she had it coming anyway
Was i right or was i right......????........this is one amazing game.

Ended up buying it last night - found it in the fifth shop I visited

Thankfully it's worth it definitely my best PS2 game so far and likely to keep me occupied for much longer than GT3

Of course, whilst you are waiting for the £30 copy from play to arrive, you could always stump up the £40 and buy it from EB or game. They have a 10 day no questions asked return policy

But then nobody would do that, would they ?

Question

Anyone know if it works with a steering wheel?

If so, is there a Baseball Bat/prositute's head controller available?

Deano,

I have it on good authority that there are many web sites, not to mention dodgy looking backstreet stores, selling 'lady of the night simulation devices'

I'm gonna keep it for Christmas - that way I'll wake up on Christmas morning and *excitedly empty my sack all over the living room*

Note to Santa: Can I have Shen Mue II also ?
(Hardly anyone knows what this masterpiece is)

Can it be true?

No negative reports about this game?

I'm off to EB!

Well given that the PS2 has been out for nearly a year (in the UK) it's about time there was a decent game to get all excited about

Although perhaps not as excited as DazV right enough
