Good news really. There seems to be a lot of bad will surrounding the beta, and Edge’s impressions last month were pretty grim, so whilst far from an iron clad seal of quality, I think OPM would have slipped it an 8 had they been genuinely underwhelmed.

You make a good point Robo, about them giving it an 8 if they would have been really underwhelmed, seeing as its would still mean its decent, but i just dont trust the official mags of any console.
I like the beta, and i also liked the first one, but i’m sure this game will get slaughtered in online reviews.

I’m pretty impressed how smooth it runs even when 60 people meet in an extremely tight spot, guns blazing, explosions everywhere.

I’m pretty unimpressed how much the game sucks in multiplayer.
It apparently really works for some people, but the majority of us, will ahve to wait for KZ2 for a nice multiplayer shooter.
Why do they add so much stuff, only to completely destory the graphics and stuff… Makes no sense to me.

Much like that sentence – care to elaborate what the “stuff” is?

I just found the IGN video review of that on my network scratch drive. They seem very keen on it, I must say.
