haha shortly after posting this i done it, there must be some sort of weird glitch because i could see the bottles on the floor but it was giving me the option to pick them up so i assumed i couldnt get them so i was just shooting him.
Then i died and started again and it let me pick the bottles up this time so ive done it

Sorry for double posting but i need a little help with this game again, or maybe a tip.
I've just been to the old castle and looked through the telescope etc,
now i have to go and burn those goddam roots of evil, is there a quicker way to do this it seems to be taking forever and its really annoying

[Dot50Cal]

I'd be interested in everyones impressions of the game. I'm still on the fence.

[TheOrganization]

Have you played it yet Dot?

It is a really good game, good graphics etc.

The only downsights to it are the little glitches here and there, mainly during a driving sequence and the camera has a life of its own sometimes which can get frustrating

[Dot50Cal]

Nah, I'm still holding out. From what I've seen it looks fun, but not something I'd pay full price for. Maybe when it hits 20-30$ or so.

That was my original plan with the game but i'd completed all my other games and just decided, what the hell, i'll go buy it, it was only £28 in a store i found which was pretty cheap.
It's also good because it's quite challenging, with those glitches being there it makes the game a little harder, you have to be really careful when driving which makes it trickier and lasts a little longer.
One downsight is you can skip levels as there is an episode selection menu in the pause menu but however you can only skip upto a certain point in the game

I'll grab it now, since I've got a new beasty laptop (2.5GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 512MB ATI Radeon Mobility 3650). I like it in the videos how the fire is completely dynamic. That's interesting, but makes space for a few instances of impossible-to-escape-from traps.

Well i've finished the game, i won't give anything away but i'm really dissapointed with the ending, there are two different endings and they both where completely rubbish, neither of them cleared anything up, anyone else agree?

[Stars1356]

Is the game a sequel or a totally stand alone story?

[TheOrganization]

i havent played all the others but i don't think its a direct sequel as none of the other games get mentioned i don't think.
The only same thing is the character

So far the game has been nothing but frustrating. The health system is sporadic. Sometimes it can get hit almost a hundred times, other times I die within a single hit when seemingly at full health. The inventory system is whack and the camera is a joke. I expected a lot more I guess. Hopefully as the game progresses, the story gets better to compensate for the controls. Why can't a run holding a burning chair? THAT SHIT IS HOT, YO!

[TheOrganization]

i hated the health system, i didnt understand it at all, once i completely healed myself and then i took one hit from something and i was dead straight away

[Project Omega]

It wasn't until playing this game that the First Aid Sprays in Resident Evil made sense. This game put into action what I thought the FAS did, but could never visualize it...

[TheOrganization]

i didnt notice this until you said it omega, thanks

I just started playing the New Nightmare on PC.

It's the first genuinely scary Resi Evil clone I've come across. The dark electro beats while fighting zombies are downright creepy.
