I've been looking forward to this game for a while. Well today while I was in Wal-mart it was in the display case, ready for sale. As far as I know and every site has told me it's not supposed to go on sale until Tuesday the 5th. Now either they released it earily for the hell of it, or wal-mart screwed up (As they often do I.E. Halo, Mass Effect, BioShock). I know it was release at Gamestop on the 31st of Jan. but it said nothing about Wal-Mart.
The game itself is pretty decent and entertaining, I reliezed that no one is online yet, most likely because it's not on the market yet. If you played the previous games, this is a must have; and if you haven't, no big deal it's a totally new story. The only problem I had is the aiming, it's really really inacurate. But like I said, it's a decent game, not the best, not the worst.
Sounds like Wal-Mart screwed up, again. Usually, a store will get the copies of the game in before the release date, and then they have to hold them until the proper time, in this case the 5th. But I've known a couple of stores that didn't do that, and that is dangerous for them to do as lawsuits could be possible (though not likely).
Also, just to point out, the aiming isn't meant to be great in that game; they want you to do as much close combat as possible from what I've read. Makes me miss the old Turok.
