Err... I'm too lazy to write my own review... but Filthy Superman (This one dude that i played, and met in a forum) wrote one.
"To answer some questions..
I did try voice masking. It works just like it's supposed to. It masks your voice.. you still sound clear and so does everyone else, but it's totally masked. We had a scream (the movies) voice thing going. It worked perfect. Which meant it was annoying as hell. Don't ever play with me using that. (lol)
Next question.. YES YOU CAN PLAY NFL 2k3. Yeah.. you get some errors, but I did play a full game and got beat by the broncos.
Fever is uhh.. well it's fever. It plays just like it does when you are playing the computer. NO LAG. That being said, I don't like fever. I now have all 3 (madden, 2K3, and beta fever) and Madden is my favorite... with 2K3 so close behind it that by the time I get good at playing online 2K3 will be my favorite.
The friends feature is nice. I played around with it in 2K3 alot. I'm playing 2K3 and I bring up my friends list.. I can see whether they are online or not and what game they are playing. Very cool. In 2K3 you can even send feedback to Sega about the person you played.
Good attitude
Good gamer
poor gameplay
rude/cussing
disconnected
stuff like that. Very nice feature. Did I mention there is no lag on Xbox Live? Did I mention the voice feature is crystal Frickin' clear?
By the way.. there is no lag.
So as of right now I'm 1/1 in Revolt and 0/1 in both fever and Nfl2K3. I'm gonna be up all night boys and girls.
Oh one more question to answer
I'm pretty sure we'll be able to play ReVolt and Fever beta versions even after the 15th. Since the 15th players will get ReVolt anyway.
Finally.. just some personal "yippes"
Playing 2K3 at first is a bit wierd because you don't know the guy. You don't know if you can say "What the ****? That mother****er just dropped the ****ing ball" or if you have to "be nice" (biotches, I'm filthy!) But after you talk for about a quarter you are instant friends. I don't see how anyone could be an a$$hole on this thing because you just feel all cool with the people like they are your buddy! After about 3 quarters of football you are talking to the guy like he's in the room with you. You are all discussing random stuff then suddenly a big play happens and you are talking about that. I've said it before and I'll say it again.. THIS IS THE NEXT BIG THING! You people all know I'm a big PC gamer. I play dragonrealms, everquest, AC2, MCO, WWIIOnline, and many others. And I'm here to tell you.. PC online gaming has nothing on this. When I play online via PC I get a totally different vibe. I don't feel "connected" to the people I'm playing with. It's like chat rooms... Xbox Live is nothing like PC gaming. NOTHING! NOTHING!
Last but not least..
some advice.
Get your beer, ciggerettes, chips, and beef jerky next to you BEFORE you play.
stay tuned loyal xba'ers... next up
Filthy Superman's Beta review part 3. I'm determined to find flaws.
I'll also be posting reviews of each game, focusing on the game and how LIVE effects it.
COME PLAY ME! (I'm gonna be on ReVOlt for a little while)
