Hmm... interesting, maybe if I was a fan of the movie and didn't get sick I 
would have liked it, but although I liked the movies I didn't go sick over
them like so many others :) And I *did* get sick, so I didn't play it more
than a few hours MAX before deleting it.
The graphics were quite boring though...

That is quite possibly it since that is the biggest difference between Build
and other games, although personally I haven't noticed this (probably haven't
played Duke etc. long enough to) I've seen many a person complain about it.

Yeah but you probably want to see how good it is, I just want to see if it 
makes
me sick :)
Quake II I'm waiting for and majorly looking forward to, although I can wait 
since I'm extremly happy with Quake atm.

Sounds enjoyable :)
That was one good thing I did notice about SW before I dumped it though -the
attention to detail seemed quite good.
I guess one of the biggest reasons others like Duke etc. and I don't is all
those little voices, personally I thought that Duke not only sounded stupid,
but that the comments themselves were generally not funny/witty.
I have known people who could not stop laughing over them though.
Cya,
Lewis
