Not as much cohesiveness as I'd like to see. Ironic as it may seem the cheesy Deer Hunter and its' just as cheesy add-on pack are doing well. Its probably gonna out sell Duke Nukem. Sheesh, the game is boring and the graphics are pitiful. The most laughable part is its outselling Unreal!! I think GT's gonna lose $$ on Unreal. No question the game is graphically amazing, and the NPC's are cool addition. The game however, just doesn't seem to have that special addictiveness and personality that keeps you up till 4 a.m. This coupled with the fact that I saw the game priced $29.96 last week @ Wal-Mart (same 5 copies were still there a week later), tells me sales must be falling off already. Can't say I see any new product in the pipe that's gonna take the market by storm either. By the way Interplay just released Redneck Huntin' to cash on the DH fever. The game is suppose to be much more realistic (as if DH was), via superior graphics and gameplay. I hope its priced right cause that's the only reason I can see for the DH sales record. I still can't figure the consumer out. He'll drop $10 for 2 hrs. @ the movie theater, but won't spend $35 for a great game that'll give you 40+ hrs of entertainment.

IPLY float is 1/6 that of GT's (30 mil shs).
