Great to see that OFP:elite get 90%, we see its BIS work.

Congrats !
Too bad the tester didn´t judge the gfx quality in relation to the size of the maps.

Atari is the distributor in Australia (as they were for the PC original), Codemasters remain the publisher elsewhere

... well, that explains a lot

Wow, 90 points is great! I didn't expect more then maybe 80 because of the graphic (Not that I care so much about that)
Now it's up to the Xbox players to buy it.

Congratulations BIS, well done

EDIT: Oh, and 92% at Xbox World Magazine too

Sure they did. In fact, they noted that specifically:

Quote[/b] ]It’s a port of a four year old game and I will be the first to admit it does not look anywhere near as pretty as recent titles such as Far Cry: Instincts (XBW : 88%) or Halo 2 (XBW : 98%) . Traditional FPS have very linear and confined environments or maps, which keeps players on track in terms of narrative, and ensures the graphics do more with less. Operation Flashpoint: Elite on the other hand takes a completely different approach. Instead of linear levels, the action in Operation Flashpoint: Elite takes place on and over four massive 100km2 environments that are as natural and alive as possible- weather changes over time and there’s even insects!

Quote[/b] ]The music is a mix of moody strings, minimalist tones and bad rock’n’roll.

Its not that bad imo .
Interesting read though, not the type of review that i take very seriously (Halo2 98% ) but its good to see the game being raved about. Im more interested in reading reviews from real flashpoint people because they will point out the improvements over the PC game better .

ONE WORD: NICE

frame rate drops when flying aircraft- low framerate? I trust them, because Xbox have little memory

[Placebo]

Framerate is always smooth, whether on foot or in the air, it's a requirement of the development process which we complied with
