Any one thinking of buying this game? I loved SF on playstation and I
was hoping WB will be similar.

It plays similar just takes place in basically one locale. Not as many
different weapons to choose from unfortunately. Still good fun.
Multi-player is a nice bonus as well.

How can it play like GE? Winback is 3rd person. It plays like Syphon
Filter...though the bosses are pretty easy its a good game.

Me? Definitely, bosses are pretty pattern oriented, not alot of
weapons, but it's still pretty damn fun. They got real creative with
the layout. The whole thing basically takes place inside one complex.

I picked the game up yesterday. So far its been quite enjoyable. There
are some camera issues but I can put up with them. It took me a few
hours to be come comfortable with the controls. But once you learn to
act like a commando running from cover to cover, rolling and shooting it
becomes second nature. Its as much fun for me as SF so far.Good
combination of outside and inside enviroments. I love opening doors and
sweeping a rooms of terrorists. The factory level with the moving
conveyor belts and boxes was interesting. Even on easy it can be pretty
challenging with multiple enemies running and dodging your shots. At
times the enemy AI can be really stupid, and at other times really
smart. If you get to close to an enemy you can expect to be kicked in
the nuts several times. If somebody would make this type of game
(rainbow six?) with co-op play it would surely be a hit.

I think the comparison would be that it is a spy/espionage focused game, like
Goldeneye.

Remember some people can't compare a game to Syphon Filter since they have
never played it, they can only compare games to other N64 games...

Be careful when you get close...they do hella damage up close. I've
had more trouble with some levels than any of the boss', and be
warned...there is a time limit. Multiple endings.

That's still quite a leap for a comparison.

Obviously.
