Hands On With The Xbox360


Today I was able to get down to my local EB Games and to my surprise was an Xbox360 kiosk! I had believed that they weren't going to be one at an EB for a week or two, but they are up and running in great condition with no problems like the Walmart kiosks. The same three games are availible to play, Call of Duty 2, Kameo, and King Kong. I decided to try out Call of Duty 2. Normally I'm not too excited about tactical shooters, especially when on a console with dual analog control, but this game is extremely good. The controller is comfortable, with easy access to all buttons. Call of Duty 2 controls almost perfectly on this controller (but unfortunatelty can probably be controlled better on Revolution, haha). It took time to get used to the controls, but in no time I was getting very good with them, soon completeing the entire demo. The graphics are amazing. It wasn't running at full FPS, but it was a preview build and the issue should be fixed by the time the game is released.
