SOF Payback now available in AUS

[recon]

Universally bad reviews - shame I liked SOF but won't be getting this one.

Been playing SP on the (US) version just for the hell of it and find it no more gore than FEAR,it has also an option to turn it off.The game play so far is very repetitious ,the AIs are below par (there is just lots of them).It seems dated compared to other releases(I know its been out for a while),but then again its not a 'top shelf' $100 game.
Only through the first few levels will give a better review at the end?

I bought the game.
WHAT STEAMING PILE OF DUNG...!!
NO muzzle flash...NO blood whatsoever...so therefore NO confirmation that you're bullets actually HIT anything.
RAGDOLL effect are a joke...bodies crumple to the ground and only make it halfway...they fold over and sit upright in weird positions like a puppet on a string.
I'm going to hack the game to godmode just so I can play it once through and get it over and done with as quickly as possible.
Also...in the multiplayer set up there's no way of telling the game what connection you have...there are NO servers visible and I'll bet GA won't even bother wasting precious server slots on this turdfest.
SERIOUSLY disappointed...to the point that I'll be emailing Activision AND the game designer to curse their families for the next century for ruining the good SOF name
Of course...COD4 has most likely ruined me for any FPS for the next year or so

I'm tempted to get this game. Sounds like multi-player is not going to be my thing, but I really do like the localised damage aspect. Pity it doesn't apply to the player too!

I stoopidly bought the Aussie version and there is NO localised damage...no blood,gore NOTHING.
I clearly remember shooting people in the leg with a shotty in SoF2 and watching the bottom half of their leg disappear...DO NOT expect the same fun if you live in Australia.
Ripped off?
HELL YEAH
