I'll get the sneak and the minibike game Sunday afternoon. I don't think the bumper car game will be fun on any level.

According to Robert Summa the bumper car game is the 'most fun of the bunch'.

Also Nintendo will need to team up with the likes of Apple for some reason.

 

[Mr Mike]

Someone confirm whether they're region free or not :/

Yep. Someone do this, somehow, please.

 

[oBa]

I went by the local BK. The manager was there and refused to sell the games before Sunday. The girl at the counter was clueless about the promotion even two days before it is supposed to begin.

Sounds exactly like the BK I was at.

 

[Timedog]

i got it too. i'm kinda afraid to open it. i'm so excited about sneak king!

 

[Diablohead]

Yep. Someone do this, somehow, please.

I was informed by someone the other week that they are region locked, I want pocket bike racer

 

[Tarazet]

Yep. Someone do this, somehow, please.

The box says "NTSC." Not NTSC U/C, not NTSC/J.. then again so does my copy of Oblivion.

 

[intheinbetween]

this can't be serious.. i laughed out loud as soon as i finished reading the first post of this thread, i'm really hyped about this game. anyway, i hope BK & MS bring these 3 games over Europe soon, that would be pretty cool

I read this thread and IMMEDIATELY got up, put on my shoes, grabbed my keys and went down to Burger King. Now I'm typing this with greasy Chicken Tender fingers as I stare lovingly at the boxes. So excited!!

Awesome

 

[thatbox]

These still work with the old Xbox, right?

 

[VALIS]

^ Yes.


And according to the boxes, the games are in high def, too!

From the back of the Sneak King box:

"The game is sneaking. The object is surprise. Here's your chance to step into the royal shoes of the King and silently unleash your hot hamburgers on the hungry citizens of this famished world. All of your covert gaming skills will be put to the test as you try to fill the role of the slickest sneaker on the planet: The Sneak King"

OH MY!

 

[Whimsical Phil]

Pics ahoy!

The instruction manuals aren't the standard books. They're just fold out pamphlets. The games also come with an ad for BK's gift cards and a 48-hour Xbox Live Gold membership trial.

All three games are pretty good for "value titles." Big Bumpin' seems like it could actually be a bit of fun online.

 

[Tarazet]

Good idea.. I'm going to log in, let's play some Big Bumpin' multi. My Gamertag is Corkasus.

 

[GilloD]

There's multiplayer? WHat the ****. This shit is better than the PS3 launch titles

 

[Grayman]

I might pick these up and wait until 360 is at a price i would pay for it at.

Sneak King is...

GOTY!!

But seriously, it IS a funny and surprisingly good game. And it seems pretty long, too. I've unlocked about 12 sneak challenges on the construction site level alone already. You get ranked for each challenge and how well you handled it, and the rankings are actually kind of tough. I'm getting a C on most of them, now working my way up to Bs and As as I learn how to control the Sneak King better.

 

[Tarazet]

BB multi is broken, maybe because we're actually not supposed to have the game yet.

I just got back from the Burger King near my place, and I am now the proud owner of all three games.

When I got up to the register, I ended up being waited on by the manager. I asked him if they had the games yet, and he told me that they did. He was about to go into the "we can't sell them until Sunday" speech, but he punched them up on the register, and they were already in the system.

Pre-Launch games! YOu should put them up on eBay!!!

I'm bummed, I just ate Burger and got NOTHING. The server guy just got a confused look when I asked about xbox games.

Then I saw a poster that said "11.19.06"

Actually, the manager at my Burger King wasn't all that sure about the games, either. He had to wander around the back of the place for a few minutes before he found them. It was probably his ignorance that got me my games early.

And yeah, sonarrat and I tried to play BB multiplayer and we both kept getting "game not found" error messages when we'd invite each other to our respective games. Some random person was able to join a game I created, but when it began to load, the game hung, forcing me to exit to the dashboard.

Oh well, if anyone wants to add me to their Friend's List in anticipation of some burger-oriented multiplayer action, my Gamertag is, surprisingly enough, Whimsical Phil.

 

[Chi-Town]

Just got mine. The Burger King near me had all the promotion signage up so I decided to check if they were selling them yet. The manager told me she had 300 games and I heard her mention to one of her workers that there is no limit, people could buy as many copies as they want.

 

[speculawyer]

I got all three as well, and there was no wrangling involved. Just had to buy lunch along with it, which was fine with me. I've been playing Big Bumpin', and it at least seems to be at the level of a Live Arcade game. Looks quite nice too!

Damn sonarrat, between the xbox 360 with $100 mail-in rebate, the three cheap BK games, and the two free xbox arcade games, you are building up quite the inexpensive xbox 360 games library!

Bravo!

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Sneak King will be mine.

Oh yes, it will be mine.
