NO. IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

Hell, that segment is easily the best part of that game, but even then, not worth it!

If by some fluke this became real, I still probably wouldn't play it simply because Phil couldn't do the voice.

I have to say Need For Speed on Wii U looks really good. Maybe EA can save the day on Wii U by fully supporting it. EA can make huge difference, UBI has dissappointed.I hope we see more games like NFS where they try and use all the features of Wii U. I'm glad I did not buy it on PS3 or 360 it looks like it and Monster Hunter are the only games I'm looking forward to for a while. At least I will have both of them soon.

No-one Will Admit To Making Aliens

Is this game just lesson that you shouldn't have 4 or more different studios working on a single game?

Just be sure to rent it. No one will judge you for you buying it. They'll merely snicker at you at the rental counter.

From what I can gather Gearbox totally screwed Sega over, they lied to them and used Sega's money on Borderlands. They gave far more of the work to that other dev, something Sega had no clue about. Basically Gearbox only cares about Borderlands.
