    I'm surprised. I thought this thread would get more posts. Could it be the whole securom thing and not many people got it? I bought the game and I don't regret it especially since I don't plan on upgrading this computer for ages. I don't think the game lives up to the hype it had but it still is a good game. I just hope this doesn't turn into one of those "10+ expansion pack" like games.

    I've been following this game for a long time now as it always caught my interest. Now I'm glad to see the reviews about it are good. I'm sure it'd make a great party game. As for buying it...unfortunately I have been buying too many Wii games lately so I'll have to wait for a while. :(

    I really recommend this movie to any comicbook/super hero loving fan. Great acting, good amount of humor, incredibly realistic looking IronMan, and just an overall FUN movie to watch. If you do go see it, stay after the credits.

    I'm curious...I know the online portion of the game sets you up with people around your same skill level but how does that work if two people are on the same console? How does it decide? I take it the skill level is decided on the Mii name you play with so if two people are on the same console there is a skill level for each?

    Concerning local GP ... you can DO it, you just have to select the tracks manually and you won't earn your license trophies.

    Yeah I'm aware of that but it just takes away from that feeling of accomplishment you get when playing GP mode with up to 3 other friends right next to you. I was sold on this game until I heard about only 1player GP mode. It's a big deal to me so I don't know if I'll be buying this game or just use that money and get Okami instead since I never played that game.

    I don't understand Nintendo. They went from "no to online" to "online only" now? From what I've read in many places this game hardly has any playing value for offline mode so I take it anybody without a fast internet connection shouldn't even buy this game?

    Anyway I have very fast internet but I hardly have time to get online to play anymore and when I do manage to play a game I usually have friends over to play as well. I can forgive the poor battle mode but who is the idiot that decided offline GP mode no longer needs to be for more than 1player? What the hell is the reasoning behind that? For me that's been the deciding factor on whether or not I should get this game. I'm sure the online is great but in my case I was looking more for a great offline experience as well (like Brawl).

    End of rant, not of rage.

    Makes me wish it was a real movie despite Link's BUSTED looking face. Reminds me of those cheap scifi channel movies that you know is going to be horrible but still take the time to watch. The only realistic Link costume I've seen has been Legolas in LOTR.

    That's a good setup Bahamut. I have less than that actually on the new desktop I just build this past weekend and the game runs smooth as hell for me.

    Intel Core Duo 2.40Ghz

    4GB Ram

    300GB Harddrive

    Nvidia GeForce 7800GT

    Windows Vista Home Premium

    I too decided to get Vista because it was actually cheaper than getting XP Professional and because I wanted to get an OS that will be supported for a long time. After reading this is in an article I figured I should get Vista.

    Microsoft has already made changes in its timetables. Last year, the company extended the sales life cycle -- the time during which PC manufacturers and system builders could sell computers with XP installed -- to June 30, 2008. It will stop selling XP altogether on Jan. 31, 2009. And it extended the mainstream support period for XP to April 14, 2009, in an effort to reassure customers made nervous by the long delays in shipping Vista.

    Anyway I look forward to TF2 gaming with you all sometime. :)

    I recently watched a video reel of the battle mode over at IGN and I'm EXTREMELY pumped up now.

    I actually posted that video a couple posts up...but anyway it does look like it'll be fun. Up to 12 players racing online and 12 as well for battle mode online. As for the snaking discussion I don't even care much for that since I never relied on it so I never used it. This game has always felt more about fun to me than actual competition. Speaking of apparently battle mode is not free for all. People will be divided into teams of six. I don't know Nintendo's mentality on this...perhaps they don't want to single out one individual as as a loser so they rather people lose in teams?

    I'm really skeptical about this Mario Kart Wii, simply because after the DS installation, how can they improve? I guess what I'm really afraid of is that it won't be AS good as MKDS meaning they'll leave things out or change things in MKDS. From what I hear it sounds a little more of the same with the addition of bikes and stunts and the removal of powerdrifting (no!). But I also think one of my main worries is that it's coming out ONLY a month after Brawl, meaning I'm afraid of how much work was put into it. I mean, they focused a lot of attention on Brawl, how much attention during that time was focused on MKWii? Hope it turns out great though.

    Well it's a different development team than that of Smash Bros so I wouldn't worry too much about how much time was focused on it. The game had been announced to be worked on since a long time ago. Regardless though I'm worried because of the new incentive to attract casual gamers the game will feel way too easy. I also fear it will be like Mario Kart: Double Dash in terms of replay value and quality and that if Brawl is any indication, the online experience won't be that smooth. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong in all these and hopefully the game won't be pushed back...

    This is hands down my favorite online multiplayer on the pc. I LOVE THIS GAME.

    Anyway I'm already in the group. I don't like how steamID works though because for example you have a forum handle yet your steam id is different than that handle, and then there's the nickname you choose which shows up in game. Kind of like my case...

    Forum Handle - anthonium

    Steam ID - 1117chronicles

    In game nickname - The Big Cheese

    I don't mean to start flamewars (I really don't. They just happen..), but Subspace Emissary is extraneous crap. I mean, you can tell the effort is there, but the platforming never really worked in SSBM either and was one of the most out of place features of the whole thing. As an extra in itself, it's a nice slap-on. But in itself, I don't see how SSBB really benefited a lot from it. They need better level designs or make the experience tighter as a whole next time. The boss battles are great though.

    You're not alone. While I do not think it is crap, it does seem a bit like a dull experience to me but not something I mind playing through. I just consider it a decent side feature.
