Although it's not looking like a bad game, it'll be hard to choose this title over the flood of great games out at the moment. Maybe it would have been wise to release this in a few months, during the historical 'lull' in the release schedule (jan-mar).
I understand that publishers need to start earning revenue of their investments as soon as possible, but releaseing right now won't do it any favors.
EDIT: Just informed 2008 US release, cool. ignore me :)
