Coded Arms!

[danrowland]

I've got it on order from ebay and have been looking forward to a FRS, but from what i've heard it is going to be a bit of a dollop.

[parabolee]

There are several setups but here are the controls at default -

Nub - move forward an side step (I change this to look left/right and move backwards forwards)

D-pad - Reload, change weapons etc.

O - Turn right (I have it as sidestep right)

[ ] - Turn left (I have it as sidestep left)

X, /\ - look up, down

Right trigget - Jump

Left trigger - Shoot

The controls are actualy quite good, especially if you played Doom and Duke 3D back in the day. I would prefer the movment on the D-Pad instead of the nub but you can only do that with the original setup and not the starfe swtiched with the buttons.

The game itself is 7/10 at best. It's fun as a on the go FPS, but the homebrew Quake will be better when it's up and running with ound and custom controls. It's not worth $40 in my mind.

Whats good? -

+ Nice graphics
+ Multiplayer will be a lot of fun
+ Controls are ok when you get used to them

Whats bad?

- Boring level desing (random levels!)
- Poor AI

But I havn't played it for very long so these are early impressions.

I will get coded arms probably tomorrow! YAY!
30 weapons random level generator and damn good graphics

[Dazza]

Id rather it only use random generator for some levels, or just multi player. Single player would be better if the levels were designed, not generated and if there were missions

Dead To Rights is much more fun/more involved

Parabolee thanks a lot for your input on the controls for the game! That has really helped me decide whether or not to buy it! Final decision-no. I'm much more into downloading movies and converting them into mp4's (I have like 25 full length films converted) and Hot Shots Golf is sick because I love Golf!

im really lookign forward to getting coded arms, dead to rights got horrible reviews even compared to coded arms, which i read had repetitive maps design, but had an awsome multiplayer. now with xlink, u could play the ad-hoc multiplayer online with a bunch of ppl over the internet, woot!

i just got midnight club, and its amazing, but im looking for a new game, and i still cant decided what to get DTR or coded arms, i mean i loved the first DTR for ps2, so idk

[YourStillWithMe]

yeah man, the first dead to rights was pretty straight-up cool (the disarms made it in my opinion) but i rented the 2nd one and couldnt even get past the 2nd level because it was so repetitive and I could go outside and play basketball or do something constructive with my time. haha So that's why I would get Coded Arms. It appears to be a good game where if your angry you just shoot some things and the stress. . . . . . .is gone. Plus its on the go so what could possibly beat that? (NBA Live 2006 on the go!)

yeah i went out and got tha game is pretty cool. i play it more then tha other game i got but tha control is hard at first but u will get use to it in a matter of time and if u happen to have a friend with u with a psp and one coded arms u can swap tha game back and front to play muitlplayer is koo pretty fun so tha game is like halo so if your in to them game then is a must have type ......
