Who here has beat this game?

How many chapters are there?
I just finished Chapter 6. What a pain in the ass the boss was until I figured out what to do (8 tries later.... **** the camera in this game)

Also, has anyone noticed that the Wiimote tends to eat up batteries alot faster when the M+ is plugged in even if its not being used?

It's probably similar to leaving something plugged into a wall socket. Even without using that appliance it takes up a bit of power. That is why people who know how to conserve energy in a house tell you to unplug all of your appliances when you go on an extended trip.

I saw this game for $25 at WalMart today. EA still ain't getting my money for a rail shooter!

It's a little buggy, has some clipping issues and I'm only on Chapter 7, but so far it's a pretty good game.
I haven't finished it yet, so I can't give an opinion on monetary worth, but so far I ain't mad at my purchase

I rented the game but didn't finish it. Personally I love how much detail has gone into the game. It is sort of like a movie that lets you shoot stuff, except the movie ends rather quickly if you don't shoot the right stuff. I also like how it has you questioning what it is that you are looking at, whether you are shooting bad guys or if you are the only crazy person and you are killing your crewmates. I only rented the first game too, but really want to have both games. I did end up getting the game off of Amazon along with the God of War collection. Just a few more days...

Just finished the game. It took me about 8 hours to get through the main game. There are 10 chapters/levels. I have just started to play through the challenge modes. I would of loved the ability to post my highscores to an online leaderboard - missed opportunity there. Overall, Visceral and Eurocom did an astounding job on this game - visuals and audio are top-notch.

Did you run into many bugs, Seacor?

Seacor · « **Reply #457 on:** November 30, 2009, 04:00:38 PM »

I ran into two glitches - not sure if these are known bugs or not:

1. The game froze up on me forcing me to power reset the console. This happened only one time.
2. The audio glitched out on me at the start of one level forcing me to quit and restart the level. It was a continuous clicking noise when the NPCs were engaged in a dialog sequence and no NPC voices could be heard. This occurred only one time.

That's funny. In the PS3/360 game, if you do the money glitch, this same thing happens until you reload your save.

Hmm...I finally got around to trading some stuff in and picking this game up. I'm still in the early stages of the game, but so far this game just feels...very dark, rough, and rushed. I'm a big Dead Space fan, but so far I'm not sure if I like the game or not. I'll have to see if it gets a lot better as the game goes on, or I may bring this back to trade in for RE: Darkside Chronicles.

It's on the Wii, can't waste resources when the finances are for the big lay-off ridden HD projects!

~~the sad fact is that is true~~

It's just bizarre because I've seen this game almost universally praised for its graphics, but I'm seeing some very early Gamecube-esque models and textures in here so far, and there's a very dim and murky look that makes it hard to see what you're shooting at. Granted, dark environments are part of the franchise, but this seems a bit far even for that.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #463 on:** December 17, 2009, 01:58:58 PM »

I say rush through it and then go trade it in.

The game is pretty good and the graphics are pretty good (lowered expectation), the in-game cinematics are pretty well done, but the way the camera swings around can be very frustrating.

I hear the shaky cam can be worse in RE:DSC, but I also hear it's a longer and more enjoyable game over all.

broodwars · « **Reply #464 on:** December 17, 2009, 02:18:30 PM »

Good Lord, did EA even test this game? My first time through Level 3 and at the end (before saving) I get the big Wii "Buzz of death" where the whole system crashes and you get that loud buzzing sound. C'mon, it's not like I did anything special, just clearing the level. A shame because I was actually getting into it once I upped the in-game brightness a bit to make things actually possible to see.

Yeah, tomorrow I'm going to take advantage of the offer extended to me when I bought this game and trade it in for Darkside Chronicles. This just feels like a game that needed another month or two of polish and testing.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #465 on:** December 17, 2009, 02:31:58 PM »

I came across the same bug, but so far it only happened once.

restart and keep playing. I only made it to level 7 (of 8?) so far, but it was pretty fun.

Peachylala · « **Reply #466 on:** December 17, 2009, 02:32:15 PM »

It's a sad reality when Dead Space: Lazyness will get overshadowed by Resi Evil: The Fanservice Chronicles.

Sucks to be you, EA.

Wow, you only ran into the crash bug once? I just played through what would have been the end of the Sewer level (Level 5?), and I got the crash bug again, again just when I was really getting into the game and shredding Necromorphs with my Line Gun and Contact Beam. These are extremely high severity bugs, and I can assure you that if there was a QA team put on this that they found them, without a doubt. The only reasons these crash bugs are still here is because EA got lazy and tried to shove this game through before it was ready. Argh...what a waste...

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #468 on:** December 17, 2009, 05:00:37 PM »

That was the only time mine crashed, in the sewer right before the big Boss. I beat the boss (after about 15 tries)and haven't picked it up since then. You'll probably finish it before me, but so far it has been a pretty good game with a few minor issues and a really big bug.

No, you'll definitely finish it before me. I'm done with the game. This game is quite possibly even glitchier than Fallout 3 on my PS3 (and that's saying something considering the number of times that game crashed my PS3) between all the graphical pop-in and the crashes, and I'm not going to waste anymore time on a game that doesn't work.

Halbred · « **Reply #470 on:** December 17, 2009, 06:24:06 PM »

I only ran into the one game-ending bug, where my dude just turned around, looked at a wall, and refused to continue. Maybe he got depressed.

Peachylala · « **Reply #471 on:** December 17, 2009, 06:29:13 PM »

I would be too if I was forced to be in an on-rail shooter that wasn't Star Fox.

Kairon · « **Reply #472 on:** December 17, 2009, 11:03:51 PM »

Wow...my brother and I played through the game and beat it, loved it, have very little to complain about, and saw no bugs...

Peachylala · « **Reply #473 on:** December 18, 2009, 12:03:28 AM »

Maybe you didn't get a glitched copy?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #474 on:** December 18, 2009, 12:07:31 AM »

Did Kairon get the "fix it" DLC no one heard about?
