A friend at work has--if there's something you want to know I could always ask him!

Well, I wanted to know if it was any good or not, before I shell out £40. :D

And is it all 3rd person or can you switch to 1st?

Well, he thinks it's an awesome game, but he IS a bit of a console fanatic--he says the game is "Goldeneye for the new millennium". As for the view, it's always third person--you never view the action directly through the eyes of your character.

Thanks for the info. Not a huge fan of 3rd person games. It seems to be:
Console games have to be 3rd person, while PC games have to be 1st person. I just don't see the beneift in half the screen being taken up by your character.

Then again Light Saber deuls would be impossible without 3rd person view, so maybe they have something.

The next Goldeneye? We have had about 40 of those since Goldeneye came out, none of them have lived up to the rep.
