No it's just a really tough game. It takes a while to get back into the swing of things, time everything. It's superfast, like as fast as Fzero GX buy you can easily trash your car or get wrecked by the cops. The wii u pad features are SUPER useful in single player, the car changes, messing with the cops, toggling traffic, the extended map, spraying your car etc. The game lets you completely change the button layout. Some people even put the acceleration and braking on the right analogue because of u's digital triggers. I just pulse and time everything. Really high quality game, just like burnout but super tough. Addictive though. I still can't find the touch screen menu for modification of the cars, tyres etc. Just d-pad junk.

GG, pre-Paradise Burnouts were also very tough. At least some of them were; perhaps they got progressively easier culminating with Paradise.

It's weird to think that this is the fourth Gears game in one generation.  Heck, there have been seven Assassin's Creed console and portable games during one console generation.  That's not including the one that comes out this year.  

He'll, even Sackboy has made an appearance in five different games during one console generation....and people pick on Mario!  Sheesh!

Anyway, Gears... Um ..4 is still really good.

Did any one read Tom "Foolz" Towers Tomb Raider review? He shits all over it:

"Crystal Dynamics may have once again missed the mark entirely"

"the gunplay may feel a little plastic at times"

"ultimately pointless jaunt through the jungle"

"It borrows heavily from Call of Duty"

"multiplayer could almost be seen as Tomb Raider’s obligatory sore thumb"

j/k of course. great review.

foolz, was this an intentional pun on the original developers of TR?

"stick too stringently to the core design"

According to Steam's TR page, it has full controller support, and requires 12GB of HDD space.

12GB? 11GB? My download said it was 15GB. Actual file size on disc is 14.3GB.

EDIT:

That'd be because it was the "survivor edition" with lossless soundtrack and stuff like that, probably.

You got the review copy. Probably included the secret 3 GB of awesomeness.

They do provide that info? Where should I be looking?

Looks like I'll have to pick up a boxed copy from a retailer.

weird file size is 10.1 gigs but it was 11.8 wow you got 3 extra gigs of ......

I was repulsed by Lost and the Damned at first, but ultaimtely it became my favorite GTA game ever.  Now I want to replay it. Wonder if it is on Steam?

The extra 3GB was my bribe to give them a good score.
