    So this is on sale for about £20 on the playstation store at the moment (it's about the same for a disc version) and seeing it made me wonder whether it was worth that price, really?

    I was interested in this game when I first saw it, but as it approached release it became apparent that it wasn't going to be worth the full price. I was kind of interested in the idea of seamless movement between cutscenes and gameplay, and I thought the setting looked at least mildly interesting - I just thought it looked a bit bare bones for full price, and hearing that the story wasn't good enough to hold it up definitely put me off.

    So pretty simple really. Is it worth £20 or should I really only consider it for less?

    @thomasnash: I just took the plunge on Amazon (£20.49) as I had an Amazon gift voucher. From what I've played so far (around ~1.5 hours), it's a decent game but hardly remarkable. It's a standard third person cover shooter with a lot of walking around fairly slowly. I certainly don't see myself playing it through again, but at least the story, setting, voice acting and graphics are pretty good. I certainly don't regret the purchase.
