I've seen this deal for a while, but only just posting it now because its been cheaper :) well... by 14p... and the prime deal.
Devil's Third
From the creative mind of legendary designer Tomonobu Itagaki comes Devil's Third, an over-the-top, third-person action shooter that combines modern military weaponry with ninja-style swordplay and melee combat. It has a unique vision for a deep and challenging online mode that blends clan-based action, resource management and strategy.
About the Game
At the heart of the single-player campaign is Ivan, a former mercenary let loose from his incarceration to right the wrongs of his past and take down a shadowy terrorist group he once belonged to. With the world’s satellites and electrical weaponry having been wiped out, and warfare once again reduced to close combat between soldiers, Ivan must use a colourful array of weaponry to shoot and attack his way through any foe standing in the way of his attempt at redemption. With fast-paced combat and finishing moves galore, a day in the life of Ivan is anything but ordinary…
Multiplayer Mode
The game’s online multiplayer mode, meanwhile, offers up a grim future whereby the terrorists have won, and chaos reigns supreme. As an ordinary citizen, you can join a clan and help reclaim the United States by forming allegiances with other factions, or go all-out as a mercenary and endlessly assault other player’s bases, opting for anarchy over clan diplomacy! But at the heart of the online play is the ability to customise your base alongside other members of your clan, with successful battling resulting in rewards that can be used to improve your defences. With constant assaults from other clans, you’ll have to be on your toes to defend your territory.

Ignore the people saying to ignore the people saying to ignore the reviews. They're silly, and hate life. They probably hate dogs too.
You'll probably notice that most people championing it have the caveat 'it's not perfect, but...' which makes them about half a zillion times more trustworthy than the people who flat out state that it's literally worse than being dead with no wiggle room for personal opinion in there.
You know what? It's not perfect. It's occasionally glitchy and looks like it came from two generations back. I had fun with it though, which is more than I can say for a ton of shiny AAA bore-o-thons where SPECTACLE and magical pretty cutscenes where you-almost-fall-of-a-ledge-which-crumbles-but-oh-you-caught-it-in-time-phew are the main attraction, and the characters wobble around controlling like jelly because they forgot people would actually be playing the thing. I'm not naming names, but at least a half dozen jumped straight to mind, didn't they?
There is one caveat here, though. Would I be as defensive of the game without the multiplayer? Definitely not, and it's now pretty much impossible to get a game on it due to people being turned off by cheating and a low player base in Europe - so you have to be in it for the single player.
If you're on the fence, go watch Best Friends Play Devil's Third on youtube. They mock it a bit, but generally quite enjoy it. That's a pretty balanced reaction.

That's typical of GAME, most of their "new" stuff clearly isn't new in my experience. Their response to it is that the disc is new but the the case itself could have been a display one.

Game is a decent play. Hard to find lots of people online when I tried. Just three of us in one room for ages. But I enjoyed the single player. Ridiculous storyline but so bad it's funny. Enjoyed this more than cod.

i enjoyed it, single player was mindless fun although a couple of the bosses were quite cheap and irritating. Multiplayer was really fun when you found people to play with!

Game have no Shame. Customer Service is appalling. They should be banned from operating on TOPCASHBACK and QUIDCO, they never pay up. I hope Amazon hit their sales hard and they go bust.
