I remember playing this on the 360. It became a nightmare of disc swaps and game crashes. I did eventually make it all the way through the game, but when it was released on the PS3 I felt cheated as I could have played it on a Blu-ray without any disc swaps at all.
Honestly I don’t remember the game being all that great, save that the graphics were quite good for the time (which, even with a remaster, they wouldn’t be now).
