I'd play this before GR:IT any day...and will make a comparison to CS when it comes out....but tbh..I never really clicked with CS
It's better than GRIT, but I still enjoy the slow, calculating style of GRIT and it was added to when it came to XBL with voice. It actually improved when it came to XBL.

Rainbow series is obviously a different style of play from the GR series. GR is about large open maps and distanced combat. Rainbow has always been about close quarters combat in urban/industrial environments. Both game series though had a sense of realism, but Ravenshield on PC was the best of the series to date. The Xbox version of Ravenshield has strayed away from that realism and moved more towards CS.

Not that's entirely bad, but the developers must be aware of the fact that CS dominates that area on PC and will most likely pull the same trick on XBL. It's not that I prefer one gamestyle over another, I just prefer them to be more distinct as then it's less of a choice between them.

As I said, I eagerly await a cheat-free CS on XBox.
