P.N.03

What are people's thoughts on this game? I've just picked it up second hand and I'm a bit meh towards it really... does it get better?

[Bojangle]

I like it a lot. Love the minimalistic look, all whites and blacks etc. Music is quality, especially with a decent surround sound system and subwoofer. Nice old style gameplay and you've gotta love her arse, when she shakes it to the beats!

I must remember to set the Search to all posts. I would delete this topic now but that has been recently disabled. Cheers!

How would I go about connecting my Cube to surround sound?

Aside from component cables.

[Bojangle]

I've got an unofficial scart cable, with the copmosite input/output block on it. Then you just need a Red/White audio jacks and put them into your surround system and the other end into the composite block.

Not the best description I know but you'll hopefully understand it!

Shut up!

I really must return to this game, it has remained unplayed since last year Reason? A chipped Xbox, and MAME X.

Hey there,

I can already plug the white and red in via the component though you see, using the yellow to plug into the SCART block into the back of the TV. It's just not surround sound though, is it?

Shut up.

gets boring after about two weeks. nice arse thou.

I hate how you get killed after 3 shots, have to input the special moves on the D-Pad and how there's a massive black border in 60hz down the bottom and there's no option to move the screen. Apart from that, err oh yeah I wish there was a quick turn so you could turn around fast to get at sweeping enemies, but instead you pirouette backwards facing the same direction like an idiot.

Press the Z Button!

You die in 3 hits? You have been upgrading your suit haven't you?

[Sabreman]

I think there is a quick 180 turn, I'm sure of it.

Okay, got that now. She's a bit of a cack handed cow isn't she? She doesn't strafe or move or turn properly. I'll really need to get used to this. typical bad controls capcom 3d game..

[jonnyalpha]

I liked the presentation but just hated the game. Can nobody at Capcom come up with a decent control system? Resi has needed new controls for years and then they release this.

Heads need slapping at Capcom central.

I've been very tempted to pick this up, mainly cos it's about £10 everywhere.. I'm having a few doubts though.. Is it good for a mindless 15 minutes, or is it mind-numbingly anus in every way? Or is it frustrating? If it's frustrating, it can fuck off.

Once you get used to what the game wants you to do, it's rather aces.

[Juria]

It's uber frustrating. What's this game got anything to do with shooting or 'dancing' to the beat by the way? It's about the most cak handed and unrhythmic game i've ever played. I'm sure i'll get used to it but I want to give it a good kicking right now. The only other game i've ever played that I've been really frustrated by is WWE Here Comes The Pain that I borrowed off Monkichi 2.0. I threw the PS2 controller to the ground really hard and broke off all the shoulder buttons

[Stroker Ace]

It's superb.

It's also Marmite.

[___]

It's got nothing to do with rhythm - it's all about hammering the feck out of the fire button and dodging at the last possible moment.

In saying that, it does become a bit more pedestrian when you get a suit with the full autofire upgrade - saved me from getting tendonitis or something though

[Juria]

It's superb.

It's also Marmite.

This is exactly the sort of game I should like though

1. If it's frustrating and Marmite, I think I'll give it a miss.

2. HCTP is frustrating, but I got good quickly and can royally fuck up anyone on it now.

3. I've never managed to break any of my pads - be they PS2 or otherwise.. And I throw them about shitloads.. Hmm..

[Juria]

I threw it straight downwards with a downwards palm strike motion and i'm currently training in Hung Ga 2 hours every day, maybe that's why

[Stroker Ace]

It isn't frustrating.

Think of it as little more than a scrolling shooter in three dimesnions. Most of the time, you'll always be firing forward and dodging to the left and right, after all.

[Major Britten]

Loved the game and IMO is very underated, love the style and the simple nature of it.

[Flockheart]

I really liked the game, though I do I think that some of the 'simplicity' was due to a bit of a rushed development though - the static menu screens, the lack of voice acting, etc.

I thought the controls worked pretty well for the old school style of shooter that it is - they seem geared quite well to the whole twitch gaming thing rather than the more smooth control systems seen in other types of games (mario 64 for example).

It's can get hard, it can get frustrating but you do get a feeling of satisfaction beating and area you've been stuck on for a while or wiping the floor with a room full of enemies without getting hit. And pirouetting out of the way of a rocket at the last second is fucking cool!

It is a shame Vanessa doesn't shake her ass to the music though...

[The Sheriff of Nottingham]

It's a great game but often misunderstood. Because it's in third person people tend to expect a tomb raider style adventure but as has been mentioned it's really a 3d take on the old vertical scrolling 2d shooter.

I played it through twice until I unlocked the Papillon, so I must have enjoyed it.

[ianinthefuture]

Solution - someone lend/give me their copy! Yay!

Seriously - I'm torn again..

[Juria]

I've started it again on Easy instead of normal and now i'm getting to grips with it and really like it It only cost me £12.99, I think i'll get my money's worth. I am at level 3 and I bought the Intera Blazer, I thought I should as it is the most powerful one, though my thumb may be permanently damaged by the end of level 4

[blandishment]

I think it's superb too. Edge described it as Space Invaders in 3D which is pretty spot on. I also think the controls suit the game perfectly - it's all about staying exposed and shooting for as long as you dare, then dodging out of the way at the very last moment. A great twich game that isn't underrated, just misunderstood.
