8/10 from Strategy Informer.

How long is it? Any reviews say?

It's around 8 hours.

Edit: 12 if you want to kick down all the bases

Honestly, it was great until things started to get same-y. And no full on laser weapons makes me sad.

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Wow at the reviews! I was not expecting such a great scores.

I'm glad Blood Dragon is a stand alone title because I sold Far Cry 3.

As a 80's child I just MUST buy this game!

Isn't that the same complaint as FC3? It got really repetitive as I recall. Either way, I skipped FC3 since I didn't have time. I'm grabbing this for my FC3 alternative since it's a little shorter

 

[KojiKnight]

Looks good, just waiting for my e-mail from AMD so I can play it~

GameInformer: 8.5/10

 

[Uno Venova]

Damn, I want this now and can get it on PS3, but the 360 version of FC3 did look better, might have to hold out.

It is well worth getting at the cost. Excellent game that sadly stands up against many retail games actually.

WorthPlaying Review: 8.5/10

Blood Dragon may not be as big as Far Cry 3 (most players will complete the main missions in a day, all of the optional missions in two), but it fires on all cylinders pretty much every step of the way. It'll have you laughing one minute, saying, "WTF?!?" the next, and topping it off with a, "Holy sh*t!" It's awesomesauce in a digital package, and it's sure to appeal to anyone who isn't named Jack Thompson.

Good stuff from Jim. Sounds like what I both feared and hoped. Can't wait.

Lol 9 from Eurogamer? I gotta read that next.

I love that they went with "This is looking to be an enjoyable romp." as a trailer quote.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Damn, my feelings on Far Cry 3 be damned I need to play this!

 

[FaintDeftone]

Looks good, just waiting for my e-mail from AMD so I can play it~

Ditto. They're not even STARTING to send out codes until tomorrow so seeing how long it took them to give me a Bioshock code, I'm not expecting to play this any time soon. Still, gotta give them props for hooking us up with free copies!

 

[Uno Venova]

Does XBL usually update in the morning or on evenings?

2 AM pacific IIRC

 

[Byronic Hero]

Got my MS Points ready. Any idea how much it'll cost on XBLA?

Thanks, I wish I could download it and have it ready by the morning. I'm already itching for next gen features.

Ugh, I want this workday to end so I can go home and play it. I still have to download it on Steam..

EU has to wait a whole day for this smh. But none the less this is going to be awesome.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

I loved everything about Far Cry 3 and can't wait to play this game. Does anyone know if it takes place only at night?

I thought the project lead said it was $10 in the Giantbomb interview?

Edit - just checked and its 15$ on Steam. Shiver me timbers.

 

[OdysseusVA]

I thought the project lead said it was $10 in the Giantbomb interview?

Oh, then I may be wrong. I was under the impression it would be $15 on all platforms.

Edit: Read your edit

 

[bidguy]

Tomorrow should be a national holiday.

it is one, where i live

 

[Zeth]

Can I unlock it early through Steam or Uplay?

 

[geebee]

Aw, damn.. I thought it was out on Steam today..

 

[Syriel]

Can I unlock it early through Steam or Uplay?

Don't believe so. Steam has it listed as May 1 release. Same as XBLA.

PSN is theoretically today, but that's dependent on whenever Sony decides to actually push the PSN update. So, who knows on that one.

 

[Neuromancer]

It's not a real holiday unless you get the day off, do you guys get the day off? If so I am very jealous!

Lolz, the giantbomb quicklook hat one awesome moment. Credits to Alo81

FUUUUUUCK

 

[SuperPac]

I did not play Far Cry 3 and have no real interest in that game. But I sure as hell am buying this today on PSN.

 

[derFeef]

It's literally National Holiday here in Austria may 1st Day off and all - which sucks because euro release time on Steam.......................

 

[Raptomex]

Is the preload available on Steam yet?

 

[bro1]

On the PC, do I need to have FC3 installed or is this a stand alone piece of software?

The latter on all platforms.

Stand alone on every system.
