I bought it for my daughter a year ago.
VD needs to be called on this, though. Buying a xbox for your daughter? That's some heavy child neglect right there. You're supposed to set an example, man! Right now you're holding the frontier of all foreseeable RPG-future, as I see it, and then you go about buying the root of all evil for your offspring! :shock:

Through sheer might and heavy discipline, I managed to make my 13 year old sister play the cream of the classic Lucasarts adventures. When she finishes Full Throttle, Fallout is next in line.

Blackhart needs to be cast in a film as a monster, or at least a character written into a story based on him if the authorities won't let him out for filming.

That one word was more effective than most of the scripts for suspense thrillers and horror films I've seen in a while.

Daughter.
Seriously, am I the only one who got some pretty heavy chills down my spine, reading this comment?

So simple, so effective.

Nah, he's just a playful puppy.

Who wants to hump your daughter's leg.

I'm fairly sure it's going to run like ass on PC. It's a half-assed port, after all.

Did you ever see that movie Crouching Negro Stolen Wallet?

Its similar in film style to White Redneck Closet Homo.
Are there any non-white rednecks (Thomas Sowell's neologisms aside)? Native Americans are already red all over (like a newspaper hoho), and blacks are darker than red even without any sun. Asians, perhaps? I've never seen one sun-burnt.

In the dark of the night I'm going to find you
Oooo Aaaa Ooo
In the dark of the night just before dawn

Jeez, I don't know when I find you whether I'll lynch you or buttfuck you. Maybe we could rig something up so you could be like a water ski for me, I could steer you with my cock.

Should I get this game for xbox or pc?


WE HAVE CHOICES LOAL

I've read up on a couple of the previews, and the PC version is a step up in four places:

1) Graphics (this is a given considering the SDTV resolution of the original),
2) AI, harder and less prone to "Tricks" (JE was often criticized for being to easy, hopefully this fixed that),
3) controls (personal prefrence probably, but Gamespy stated the PC version controls were better, especially by not being limited to 4 fighting styles mapped to the D-pad),
4) Load Times (self explanatory).

There are a few other "extras" thrown in, but they struck me as pretty minor. That being said, previews are done on incomplete code so the previewer won't report bad things with the possibility of a fix in the final version. So, its impossible to say how bad technical issues are until some reviews come out. Also, the PC version won't come out until later this month and will cost $40, while the Xbox version is out now and can probably be had for $10 considering how the Xbox is discontinued.

Here's the official page. I guess the box version includes a poster and "art book", but I wouldn't get to excitted about that as its probably no bigger then the typical game manual (15-25 pages).

I'll buy the PC version - just to see if I'm 'pleasantly surprised'

It sound like something I'd be very interested in once it hits the bargain bins. Full price for a two year old game that is ported is a bit much.
