Anyone else downloaded the demo for the 360 - pretty damn impressive

Definately gone back to its roots - demo level is fairly reminiscent of the first few Peruvian levels from TR1 (but without the brown-trouser T Rex moment). Graphically georgous and the control system actually works this time.

Worthy of a trip to GAME tomorrow if you ask me.

I'm looking forward to the PC versionand bumping it up to some ridiculous resolution and 16x anti-aliasing, not so her body looks more realistic, OH NO

Scooby-Doo

or just order it from Gameplay save a fiver and get it before release

chrisowe

Or wander into a Tesco Extra and get it for the same price as Gameplay. Which is usually £10 less than Game or Gamestation charge.

lightning101

Jackclark on> or just pirate it from mininova

RB5-Black

over on xbox.com the news is it's only 12hrs long at best.

buy it form game and take it back within 10 days for me I think

bob269

I'm stuck already

I'm in the big room with the 3 stones on the floor which you have to press to release the door thingy. I've put a crate on one of them, and can see the other crate in the water but can't get it up the platform.

Anybody done this?

Yup I know, I'm useless

RB5-Black

Flick the crates up with the see-saw

bob269

Yeah just noticed this see-saw thing with the crate underneath, do you need to stack them up, or just bounce them on to the platform.

RB5-Black

ermm fark nose .... try the forums at xbox.com I'm just quoting what I read on those forums

bob269

lol. cheers anyways, i never thought of checking there, I may have to avoid this game due to my lack of co-ordination

Sorted, that was the end of the demo.

Have you seen a good HDTV on 1080i ? Much better than any PC monitor

RB5-Black

HD projector at 720P screen size 8' by 5'

bob269

How do you know his pc isnt plugged in to a HDTV? High End PC's do outshine the 360 (albeit 4x the price)

lightning101

So a 1080i TV is better than a 30" dell at 2550 resolution with anti-aliasing

bob269

BTW, do you know what HD actual means or does?, it simply means its a higher resolution than a standard tv, which pc's do without a second thought, my sony 17" monitor runs at a higher resolution than 1080i, and if you're gonna quote hdtv's then technically speaking 1080p would be better than 1080i (interlaced).

My copy arrived this morning (from Gameplay) and I've been playing it this evening. It's a great game. Much better than the previous couple of games, and the graphics and sfx are luverly

Mines here jsut gonna make a cup of tea (or beer) and get stuck in

KiwiGTI

I don't. My 18 month old Viera isn't HD ready apparently but supports 1024x768 and I plug my 360 in with a VGA cable and it looks fantastic (much better than the standard cables)

So it obviously supports some sort of HD even though it's not HD ready, which has me confused.

anyone finished the ghana level yet?
I will be buggered if i know how to supply the second water wheel with water,any idea's guys

leonpoole

Yes i do know what all that geeky stuff means who doesn't. My point being is, belive me Xbox 360 looks a lot better on my bro's 40" Bang & Olufsen Beovision lcd hdtv than it looks on a scabby 17" monitor whatever the resolution

leonpoole

Again IMHO yes it is. Have you ever sat infront of a 40" BeoVision. Plus why on earth would anyone possibly want a 30" monitor

lightning101

Yes I have both actually and 2550 at 30" is 2 and a half times the quality and fully anti-aliased unlike the x-box 360 which is like a childs toy compared to my pc

bob269

It may look bigger but it doesnt look sharper or any better, picture quality is alot down to resolution and anti-aliasing etc. You are talking rubbish about stuff you don't understand so we'll leave it at that.

leonpoole

Exactly. It doesn't look any sharper but the fact is its bigger. That apeals to me more than a scabby monitor as it probably does with most people so it is better. If the size of the screen wasn't a factor we'd all have 17" monitors in or front room

messiah

I'm assuming you've done this by now but... climb up in the room where the 2 wheels are, and use the rope to swing into the lever and knock it down. jump across the one thats running, onto the rope and across the cradle with the grapple, keep going past the open door and keep going up the ladder until you get to another room - then mess about in there to set the water running. (you'll figure it out...)

MadGrip

completed it today great game but not much longevity. finished it in approx 9 hours game time

leonpoole

Is that it. I would of thought the game would be massive. I'm not really complaining mind as i soon get bored of games and buy more before i finish the last one

RB5-Black

Game 10 day return for me then
