 Rating:  - Lots of FunI loved this game mainly because of diversity. I don't really feel like going into huge detail since others have already elaborated but I will say this. Buy a gamepad because it actually IS the controls that make the game. I have a logitech rumble pad cordless. Rating:  - Controls are confusing...so they say.As i'm sure you have noticed, all the controls on the menu and in some parts of the game of THAW are labelled G=back, O=select etc. Many different reviewers are getting angry because of this inconvenience but if you just think about it, it's all quite simple.G=Grind button, O=Ollie button, R=Rail button and so on.

I read those rewiews before purchasing but went ahead and bought it anyway, since I've been anticipating it a long time. Before playing, make sure to install "DirectX9.0c" when it prompts you to on the very first screen you see. Also, although I have an expensive computer with a good graphics card, the game would always lag on the "very high" 1280X1024 screen resolution ... Read More Rating:  - Believe ItAt the time of writing this, there are 2 hard hitting reviews of this game by Mike and John from California. They are both 100% right in the scope that they chose to address, but I feel - as rough as they were - they were actually being very polite...probably in respect for a game that once was and once could have been. The oncoming of the THUG series was, in my opinion, a serious lapse in judgement in consideration for the tastes and intellect of the average THPS enthusiast. The games were, ... Read More |
