What do you guys think about this game? I like it. Someone said the guns are lame or something like that, I have to disagree. While some of them aren't that great (Rocket launcher, sniper rifle), most of the are definately cool. I love the upgrade system for the guns, a very neat idea. The character models look amazing IMO. Whenever they zoom in on that girls face I can't believe how realistic it looks. The car movement is kinda quirky, like a bootlegged Halo, but it's no so bad. I like the ragdoll physics. It was awesome when I used my grenade launcher to blow a guy off a bridge. I can't comment on the multiplayer, as I haven't had a chance to play it. The sound is great. It sounds excellent with surround sound and the gun effects are very good. The story seems like a good one but I can't say for sure cause I'm not far enough into the game. My only complaint is the load times.

With any review I'll include what I think the game is worth. For Pariah I'd say $30-35. It's not so bad that it would be worth only 30 but not good enough for 40.

LMK what you think of the game.

I think the guns are bland, boring and extremely run-of-the-mill. I don't know of this "upgrading" system. On the PC, the graphics are amazing and the ragdoll physics are great, plus the environment is destructable.. in some parts. My cousin played the XB version and said the graphics were okay and his jaw dropped when I showed him it on PC.. care to elaborate on the weapons upgrades?

When you get those weapon cores (the green things), you bring up the menu that shows all the guns, highlight the one you want, and use the coins on it. Kinda hard to describe with words. There are also 3 lights on each gun to show how many of the upgrades you have for the gun. Maybe it isn't on the PC version?

Well, did you find it? If you still have the manual you should check there. I got up to the part where the girl drives the car for you. She sucks so I keep dying.
