The demo was the very first thing I played on my 360. The shock I had when the first huge explosion filled the screen left me open mouthed. I've wanted this since then.
It's still the only demo I go back to. really looking forward to the full game. |

This game sounds great but what a strange release date for it. Most people will be skint after Christmas so I can't see it selling as well or, maybe, because it's not going up against all those pre-Christmas releases it WILL sell well. Still it is nice to have a promising sounding game to look forward to so early in the new year as I'd imagine most games will be delayed for Easter 2007.

Really enjoyed the demo and, as was already pointed out, was released a looooooooong time ago so we can only expect the game to be more polished. Bring it on!

"It's still the only demo I go back to." Same here, although the first time I played it I wasen't particulary impressed, for some reason. But the second time I enjoyed immensly. And now I probably have played through it at least 18 times or so ;) Just love the mix between japanese and western action. This game has something very special.

"Most people will be skint after Christmas" We will be skint after buying pressies, but kids will have pockets full of Xmas dosh. And as you suggested yourself, there is less competition after Xmas when a lot of other marketing drives have peaked. Xmas can be quite a bad time to push a game if you don't have sacks of advertising money. |

Found the demo thoroughyl meh, graphics were let down by tearing and jerkiness, the control felt sluggish and not very responsive and the enemies AI was a joke. CRACK is a life wrecker my friend! put the pipe down. |

Found the demo thoroughyl meh, graphics were let down by tearing and jerkiness, the control felt sluggish and not very responsive and the enemies AI was a joke. Exactly my thoughts as well, especially worried about enemy AI. LP was the first demo I got from Live, and it took me a couple of minutes to realize graphics are not what defines next-gen... Overall, it looked as an ordinary old-gen game with good graphics and awesome sound effects. Hope it gets much better til release date, otherwise I'm skipping it... |

Yep, the longest lasting demo for my 360.
I found the controls pretty good. No real complaints here. Also, you have to remember that you can use the grappler to fight the akrid too. There's nothing more fun than using the grappler to hook on to an akrid (whether large or small, flying or stationary) and zapping towards them with a shotgun at the ready. |

Also, you can choose to fight the bosses without a VR suit (at your own risk).
I fight the mech boss with nothing but a rocket launcher (the ones made for the mechs). It ended up in a metal gear-style scenario, with me running around the entire area and hiding behind buildings. |

What the??? Now I really don't understand this. Thier was absolutely ZERO tearing with my demo (or for any games I've played for that matter). I'm really beginning to think it may just be a either people's 360, cable or tv (or a combination of all three). |

>"It's my go-to demo whenever I want to showcase the 360 to my friends. The gasps are always very loud."
Same for me (until GOW). It's one of those games that non-gamers love to see you play (like the scene with the explosion and the big akrid, or entering the cave with hundreds of flying akrids). And why are people judging a game based on a demo that would have been released 10 months ago when the game comes out? It's comments like that that made me understand why epic held back on a demo too.

Love the demo,it's the best one released so far in my opinion.The graphics and fram rate were both top notch,epecially for a game that was so very far from completion,and I never once saw any tearing :/ Even though I see it as plain as day in the big known offenders,Saints Row,Moto GP etc...
Yeah i'm definitely going to be getting this come January,athough going from EG's preview this one will be going straight into the 6-7 mark rating when reviewed,who'd have thought it? :) |
