Robin Hoods Playground

Have been playing this for a few days now

I completed the story & completed all the terrorist hunts on realistic - have maxed out all the A.C.E.S & obtained all weapons

Pro's & Con's

• The graphics are typical of the previous rb6 games although slightly polished & the framerate is alot smoother
  ...unfortunatly there are some framerate problems at times tho! everything just slows down & chokes!!
• The strory mode can be intense @ times & enjoyable to play but on contrast I think the actual story & narrative is weak.
• The addition of A.C.E.S is a "cod4 challenge'esq" clone which is a welcome addition but in all honesty far to easy to max out & complete!
• The co-op t-hunt & story mode is great fun with friends
• The online lobby system is as good as it always was - if it aint broke don't fix it
• Online players attitudes in lobbys & in game is alot more social & team orientated than most other fps shooters.
• I'm not keen on the sprint feature because:
  
  a) the button is mapped in the wrong place
  b) it's just a little bit pointless for the way you control the rainbow character & negotiate maps
• The online maps are weak & the spawn points are completly f*cked up!!
  I just havn't had any fun playing them yet

I'm happy with the final game - it's pretty much what I expected.
Not so happy with the online maps - the spawn points are really f*cked!

Not sure if i'm gonna stick with it online for much longer because of the map & spawn issues!
Especially since COD4 is set for a few new goodies in april...
I also have the beta for Battlefield : Bad Company which is due to start on 25/03 :p

A shame really because vegas 1 had me hooked for 12 months straight

Good stuff man. I am looking forward to biting into this one after the first one. After cofree and I finish Army of Two, I will sink my teeth into this game.

great write up man.

yeah i got to agree with you review, i jumped straight into the online side & HATED it straight away, realy put me off the main game.

Not had it on in a while so i might, i stress might give it another chance to crack my cold heart........

I have this game but haven't played the online side. I really didn't like the main story i thought is was slight off track.
