A 5 star rating from gamespy, and 9.4's from both ign and gamespot have me absolutely craving this game. I actually took the time to read the text reviews. The straw that broke my back in deciding wether I would buy this game immediately or wait was the announcement of the ninja tournament in May. Ill need all the practice I can get before online play.

Anyway, will this game get an immediate buy from you or will you hold out?

I already have my copy pre-ordered. So I'll be getting it the day it comes out...

I swear off buying gams for a long time and this comes out.

Metal gear comes first, but the second I find this below 35 its mine

im also thinking about waiting for it to go down a bit, although im craving it too after reading a couple reviews...i know i wont play it more than a couple of times after completing it. lord knows i havent finished or even started playing the games i have now...so many games, so little time

I'm trading in some games at EB for credit, so new will be about $20. I'm buying the weekend it's out, just not the first day.

I like to wait to get really excited about a game until after a few reviews are up, so I am now officially really excited about this one.

I'm just hoping BB (or somewhere with an ad I can PM at BB) has this on sale for $40 or less within a week or two of release so I can get it for $35 or less at BB. That would rock.

So I guess my answer is that no this isn't worth full price to me. I'll probably hold off indefinitely for it to hit $35. And if that doesn't happen in the first few months my threshold might lower to $25. (I probably wouldn't pay $35 for a 3 or 4 month old game )

I did the trade 4 games for 1 deal for this, used cheapy 5 dollar games

I have personally played this game, and I would have to say BUY IT. It is a very graphic, fast and well made game. The only problem was the camera, there can be like 5 guys hitting you and you only see one. The ability to run up walls is a very big part of the game from what I could tell. I will be buying this at launch.

MY BAD

I think I'll wait a couple of months and see if the price drops to like $40 or $35. I still have 12 games I have to open and play first. But the game is excellent though.

Nope, the demo definitely changed my mind. This will be one of those $20-or-less bargain binners for me.

After playing the demo, I was not sure if I wanted to buy it. But the reviews I see give me a hunch that there is a lot more to the game than the demo. I just may pick this game up.

I hope I find a cheap ass deal on this.

I'll pick it up when it's a pH. I think this is one of the rare occasions that it'll look cooler in a silver case (Hitman2 and DOA3 being other exceptions). Screw unity, judge cool-looking-ness on a case by case basis.

I got in on the trade 4 games for NG (traded 4 $5 games for it) and after reading the reviews I only wish there was a way to change my shipping type to something faster at EBgames.com.

I'm Curious, what didnt you like about the demo. I only got to play it for a minute, but it definately seemed like it had what it took to be a great if not legendary game.

I have it pre-ordered at GS so i'll be getting it the day it comes out

since looking at the track record of frys. im hoping that this game will come out 37.99 next week. (crossing fingers)

I got Gaiden II for the NES today for only 2.50 (along with Metal Gear) to hold me over until the game drops in price

I'll be renting it from Gamefly, like any other action game. Then i'll buy it when there is a price drop :P. Looks like a very promising game.

I just wanted to point out the Prince of Persia demo wasn't that great, but the game is amazing.
