Think it will live up to the hype?
Observations from those who have played any demo's?
Will their be any sort of special edition (steel case or bonus making of DVD, etc)?

They have put so much hype on this game I just don't see how it can live up to it even if it is great. All the coverage I have read has been positive but seeing is believing and I am anxiously waiting for this game.

Hi Dean,

I'm unsure whether this game will live up to the hype. I say that because there have been so many games which have failed to do so and many games with no hype which turned out to be great. That said, what I have seen certainly looks fantastic! And yes, there will be a special edition for sale (for ten bucks more) - see ebgames.com. However, I'm unsure what it comes with. A steel case would be nice (ala Halo 2).

I'm also looking forward to Call of Duty 3 and Splinter Cell 4. There are a few others I'd like to check out as well, but none as much as the aforementioned three.

I already have the special edition pre-ordered. It comes with the tin, making-of DVD and a hardcover book titled 'Destroyed Beauty' that was handed out at E3 2005 when the game was introduced. The book contains design artwork for Sera, the characters, weapons, etc and gives the background story. I have the scans from the book saved already but the having the actual book alone was worth the extra $10 by itself.

I'm a little worried that the gameplay won't live up to my expectations either but everything else (story, art design, etc.) looks awesome.

is this game going to have the online multiplayer co-op as good as GRAW?

They're definitely pushing the co-op side of the game so I have high hopes. I'm another with a paid off preorder just waitin' for the call.

Reviews are out at the usual suspect sites and GOW is scoring exceptionally well.

I plan to pick the game up tonight.
