Quote:ABF, whatever version you may think better, at the very least a free demo should certainly at least indicate if it's worth buying either version.
Which would be fine, if they'd actually release a demo for the (primary, hopefully superior) PC version...
Really, the only bad thing about the game is that there is a console port. Oh, hopefully it'll be as good as it should be, if Irrational did the right thing and made the PC version the main one and the 360 version a port, but what with how so many PC game developers started going downhill depth-wise as soon as they started the console ports... (Bioware and Bethesda for instance, or looking farther back, Deus Ex 2 and Thief 3 to name just a few) While it does look like Irrational avoided that trap, it's too bad that they had to deal with it in the first place and it says a lot about how bad the state of the PC gaming industry is right now.
Really, looking at most of the industry it's just amazing that Irrational (or now 2K Boston) managed to hold out as long as it did. While I know that it's nice for people who don't have high-end gaming PCs, simultaneous PC/console design almost invariably leads to simpler, less complex games which fail to live up to their PC-only predecessors. Given how this is essentially System Shock 3, one of the greatest first-person serieses in PC history, that would be a(nother) real tragedy.
