Its on STEAM for 19$ and I was gonna buy Audiosurf with a 20-30$ game and im getting Vista soon so I want some good DX10 games. I know CoJ is DX10 but is it any good?

Try the demo, how ever the demo had me not buying it...
 
Oh theres a demo? Ill go look for it thanks!
 
I thought it was an interesting storyline to run through once.

Haven't tried the MP. The DX10 pretties it up quite a bit.

BTW, did you say you HAVE sold that P35?
 
Yea.. good thing I didnt buy it..
 
in a nutshell - NO.
 
i'm currently playing it ($10 last weekend hooray) and had i spent $19 i'd have still been happy

in fact i would say i've been nicely surprised by it.

you play as two characters, one a Reverend on the trail of a kid...and the other is the kid. you alternate episode to episode and their paths cross, etc.

DX10 graphics are good but sometimes "sloppy" is the best i can do with it. it was a DX9 game before total conversion for release in the United States. the gameplay is good with large maps / levels. and something i like that some others haven't is when you play as "Billy" you wander around a bit...have to "sneak" and what not. you have a whip and a bow and arrow. see arrow in action:

i would say i'm a bit early on and one level which had the Reverend going through a mine felt stale, but other then that and the sometimes rough graphics i've gotten my $10 worth for sure. in fact its my #1 game atm.

i suggest playing with the music off, however. its intrusive at times. i play most my games with the music off, 'tho. so.....
 
after the first three levels it is a very decent game.
 
yea i enjoyed it. played in dx10 and it looks pretty :D
