They don't look so great. I think they can do better.

@dude360:
The price is for 14 0f the figures; Not 1 of each. Since they're by NECA, I'll assume they will be priced similarly to their RE4 figures (15$).

If you guys liked GOW, you need to check out Kill Switch by NAMCO for the original Xbox (it's also BC for the 360). In fact, this game and Resident Evil 4 inspired some of the game mechanics in GOW such as constant cover and over the shoulder POV.

@Anaardvark: It comes with all the weapons and all.

Also, is it just me, or are these figures supposed to look even more cartoony then the game? Just look at Marcus' and Cole's heads compared to real screenshots. They look like caricatures.

DaveB — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 09:28:14 MST

I wish they were the same size as the original GI Joe dolls from way back when. Almost 200 bucks for the set though? I can't justify spending that much.

Anaardvark — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 09:04:26 MST

I don't quite get why it's a pack of 14..

"This case of 14 figures may include duplicates of some or all figures."

Hmmm, I just want them separately :(

@mikecoscia: Also, I think that is just for that website. Hopefully there'll be reasonably priced individual figures.

I hope they don't all come with just Lancers. I want my Marcus using the weapons I used, Shotgun and Longshot.

Hiero Glyph — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 07:18:04 MST

@rebelphoenix: Due to the cover system and dodge mechanics a first-person view would not have worked well. Take Rare's Perfect Dark Zero as an example of why a first-person view would have been very bad. If you prefer a traditional FPS with a cover system, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas series nails this pretty well.

On a related note the figures look great but the pricing only promotes buyers to play them all on eBay for $25 each. More information on where to purchase them individually would be great.

@rebelphoenix:
Actually I'm quite tired of FPS and looking for over the shoulder. What other 360 games are gears-style?

Pretty cool looking, but still didn't like the game. If it was an fps it would have been great, but I'm really getting tired of this over the shoulder crap.

They look nice, but I don't buy these things so I don't really care.

Looks pretty cool, although Marcus appears to have sprayed the front of his Lancer orange?
