I can't believe that this game doesn't come out until later this month. I saw the trailer and was instantly hooked. You can tell that this game is gonna be fun, and I guess worth the wait. Feel like forever though. I love first person shooter games, and i like the idea of using a spaceship as opposed to a car or a regular plane or helicopter or something, adds some kinda mystery element to it which is cool. The weapons are amazing and I just really in awe of the advancement they have now to be able to make it so that you permanently destroy parts of the environment by just shooting at it, instead of the cheesy games from back in the day where when u shoot something and come back to it its normal again. I thought that was dumb. It's like..hi..i just shot at that! LOL. So i love the idea of making it more real in this game. I really want it and intend to get it.

WOW ,WOW,AND WOW

What can say this game rocks,FPS & space combat ,very kool game. you get to fly a spaceship,fight other spaceships,and then when you land it becomes a FPS ,WOW , I MEAN I LOVE IT! If you liked HALO get this game. Its starts off kinda normal FPS ,but then it kicks in later with nice graphics and free moving space travel .And its not so easy that you finish it in weekend either. One level even kinda looks like bladerunner, Way Kool. The only complaints I have is that its kinda buggy, sometimes it freezes when theres alot of enemies or action etc. etc. then you have to reset your Xbox. UGH but really this game is soo kool Ill forgive them programmers. If you love FPS buy this game . better than HALO in my book .

Good mix of space flying and shoot-em-up combat

Mace Griffin - Bounty Hunter takes place in 2412, when humans have encountered aliens. Your job is to handle police duties in the outer reaches of the universe.

The graphics are definitely PS2-ey - while some scenes are very Halo-like, the graphics are definitely more blocky. You have shields and a selection of weapons as you wander through your world, fulfilling each mission.

You move in and out of spaceships, doing some part space flying, some part walking-and-fighting, with some RPG thrown in too. There are lots of little touches - the high pitched whine when you're flash-banged, the blood splatters on the floor, the details on the weapons.

A few jumping puzzles make you feel like you're in a spaceland game of Super Mario, and a few other bugs mean that you really should save early, save often. But the game is certainly fun and has replayability opportunities. Definitely a good game to play while you're waiting for Halo 2 to be released!

STUPID!!!!

This is by far the worst game I have ever played. Do not waste your money. the graphics are bad, the story line is horrible, and the controls are even worse. Anyone dumb enough to buy it can have mine!!!

this is by far the worst game i have ever played, and i have played some pretty bad games. i don't know how anybody could compare this piece of junk to HALO. the gameplay is awful. the gun graphics aren't bad, but the gameplay is what is important. your first mission is way too hard to be a first mission, and it takes an hour to finish. at one point you need to crawl through eight or nine vents. don't waste the money renting this game, and buying this game is out of the question. use the money you saved renting this game and rent a good game, like HALO or any other good shooter.

great game

This game is pretty good. But it's hard. Very,very hard. It takes perhaps an hour and a half to beat the first level. I will not tell you how many times i died because of jumping wrong and falling onto a radiator or something. You have to keep moving and do not waste your shots. Be on alert and always crouch. Pay attention to the slightest detail. Thins that seem like random explosions can clear the way for a vent or a ramp. Always have target lock on.Extremely hard.

Not worth the wait.

Mace Griffin will probably be remembered as one of the greater disappointments for the PS2. This was one of those titles that sounded promising in the development stages but never panned out even though its release was delayed for about a year.

Where do I begin? First, like others have warned...this game is HARD! There is no difficulty selection so you have no choice but to try and tough it out. The save system is AWFUL! It's one of those games that only allows you to save at certain points. That would be totally fine if those chosen points were logical. They're not. It's frustrating when you have 100 percent health and have been playing for half an hour...only to have some guy hit you in the head with a rocket and kill you. Oops...guess you have to replay the last half hour again. Sometimes, though, they let you walk through an area for only a few minutes with hardly any enemies and then the game gets to a save point again. Dumb.

The transition between ground fighting and air combat was highly touted. It is a seamless transition but they left out that one important factor. It's called FUN! The flying parts of the game are even worse than in Air Force Delta Strike. What about the ground fighting? Well, I can't say it's bad because it's not. The thing is...this had already been done plenty of times before and it's been done much better. You get your usual array of unoriginal weapons. You get to shoot at tons of people and aliens. You get to wander aimlessly through corridor after corridor. Yawn.

The graphics are average at best (this ain't no Splinter Cell) and there is unbelievably no multiplayer feature! Too many exceptional games have come out over the past few years and our standards are a lot higher these days. Unless you enjoy walking around shooting enemies with your machine gun level after level after level, then I sure wouldn't recommend you wasting any money at all on Mace Griffin.

Could have used an Uzi

The game Mace Griffin is a game that is one you should buy if you like Red Faction I or II. The graphics in the game but the part that amazed me was how smoothly you could go from a ground game to a space flying game. the story line was great so was the opening of the game but the only major problem i had with it was the ememies and their how strong they were. For instance if you shoot someone four times with a shotgun (even if they have a sheid) and the get back up and then kill you there is a problem. Also the weapons could have had a larger choice of automatic weapons like a double pistol or uzi something simmlar to that. But everything else in the game is superb. The enemy intelligance is the one part of the game that I like the most. They retreat when they can not win and they wait for reinforcements. But above all a good game for everyone that wants a great sci-fi bounty hunter game that has nothing to do with star wars. The last thing that I have to say is that this game is a hard game because it has no level setting so the first level may be hard but if you are looking for an easy game this is not it. But if you are determined and have some skill in shooting this game is for you.
