Contrast set a little high while playing the game? Or is it that washed out?

Also too much contrast in between the volume of the game and the volume of your voice. Otherwise nicely done.

Are we to expect more video's from Xav after his long break?
Good review by the way.

I don't think I've heard anyone else complaining about the voice acting in BIA 3. I certainly prefer it to that of COD 3 and 4.
The Texture Pop In is unacceptable though.

It was my first BIA game, and I enjoyed it, but it was on the short side and had a few niggles. But overall a good game, with fun, if not bland MP.

Just beat the game yesterday, and I come away feeling pretty satisfied with the game overall. I only played the multiplayer once, but it was pretty bad, so I stuck with the single player story the rest of my time. Other than a few problems here and there, the single player is a lot of fun, and keeps you wanting to finish the game. I wouldn't say this game is a purchase, but a really good rental. Anyone who has Gamefly or a Blockbuster at their disposal should definitely check it out.

So it is the Unreal 3 engine that causes the pop in.. as with Gears, Lost Odyssey (though not all that much), & of cause, Mass
Effect.. I heard it (U3) was really bad on PS3 til Unreal 3 came out..

I have to disagree with the review the story was great as usual for Gearbox and the voice acting definately wasnt a problem. the texture pop in is annoying but the graphics are good. And whoever was doing the review was horrible at it, talk about about bad voice work lol. Id give it and 8/10. Hope with the next BiA they get the pop in under control.

I never gave much thought to the slow-mo moments before ... but you hit the nail on the head, Xav. They kinda feel out of place in a historic, WWII game going for a grim, cruel atmosphere.
