Big Mistake.
No game since Morrowind/Halo/BuffyTVS has gotten me hooked like this game. It is freakin' amazing, and addictive. I have to be on one of the final levels.
****Spoiler alert****
I just beat that "boss" inside the church where you have to use the "damage" spell and he bashes you with those huge claws....I have to feel like I'm probably about 80% through...
Also, what's the scoop with the alternate/different endings??? How do you get them...
BTW....this game totally warrants my Gamecube purchase....AAA Title. And I still have to finish Zelda: WW, Zelda: OoT, Resident Evil, and Metroid Prime....what a great problem to have....

Remember the three artifacts at the beginning? Each one changes the game slightly. Even the boss you just fought is unique to the path. Go through all three paths, and you'll get a final ultimate ending. (Save green for last, it's the "craziest".)

The game has three storylines based upon whether you picked the green, red, or blue artifact at the beginning of the game. The level design and layout is identical in any case, but there will be subtle differences in how you play the game. Don't be expecting big changes, just a new spin.
At the end of each scenario is a different ending, and when you finish the game with each, you unlock some bonuses. When you finish the game the third time, you get a special ending, with more content. what the content is, I do not know, as I have yet to get the third ending. To be fair though, I have been seperated from my copy for an extended period of time, and haven't had a chance. I have just rented the game though, and I am playing the third scenario when I should be studying for my exams.
EDIT: Bloodworth, ironically I did save green for last, and it's having the biggest toll on me. It's actually harder for me than red was, simply because I like to keep my green meter half full most of the time, and that's dangerous with the green scenario.

BTW....how far through the game am I??? Just out of curiosity??

Nah, I've been playing it the whole time, but it hasn't been restricted to just the GameCube. I play it in real life too.
Later on tonight, I will have the game beaten that third time (if my roommate doesn't come whine about it being too loud. I REFUSE to play without sound.)

i heard about the game about 6 months before it came out. i was sold when they had those movie trailers on their webstie. those were awesome. and the one i voted for won, so i was happy about that. i bought it the day it came out, at about 9:00 AM. i beat it two days later (i was busy those days). i beat it all three times in 1 week, with a rest day in there. and i've convinced 16 people to buy that game so far.
try to top that. someone probably will though

Still fun but wish it would have given more incentive, I felt ripped my 4th time through to realize the endings were pretty much identical.

and more modern weapons like the HK OICW. and put it in the hands of an actual SpecOps trooper.

This game kicked ass, but I think the fighting could be improved. The story was the best ever, very polished game, but the fighting wasnt really fun, I wish it had more action.
