I know most of you hates demos, so am I, Mad
Nevertheless, I've heard some great things regarding this game.
Did anyone tried the demo? any comments?
Thanks,
Kry

didnt think it was too fun, but hard to tell after just playing the demo.

can bring in some heavy backup stuff though. like airstrike, tanks, weapons and so on.

I loved it.

Great graphics, great control, blow everything up!

It's really funny when you steal an enemy vehicle and no one sees you do it, then you can ride around and they think it's one of theirs.

Then you ram and blow crap up and they don't even know what hit 'em. Wink

Just tried this and it's great! I never even knew this existed until tonight and it comes out on Jan 11th. Read some of the stuff on IGN about it too and the full game sounds like it will be magic. One to look forward to.

There is no MP though I believe... which is a total shame... something like this would be immeasurably fun with another person.

damn! i must be getting too picky lately? i thought the gameplay didnt have a good feeling to it, shooting and shit, but maybe thats something to get used to.

anyway, the game i want the most this month is definetely the new oddworld game. oddworld: strangers wrath or what its called. that game looks really really cool. i especially like the idea behind live bullets and the "free" gameplay environment and enemy ai. Smile

Ok, now i've tried it for myself.
This game sure looks promising. Very nice graphics, fun to blow up everything.
The lack of MP is a shame though...
BTW, release date is 10/01/05... just 8 days away...

The demo was widescreen. You just needed to set it manually on your TV. Had this prob with some other OXM demos before, so I guess it's down to that.

But please, please not an unsigned one.. Rolling Eyes

i was reading on the official forum and someone on there has posted something about the release dates. A lot of different websites have given different release dates.. but the official release looks like the 13th (even though gamespot claims the 10th) so i wouldnt hold your breathe for a release in the next few hours.. I Reckon the release will be on the 12th if we are lucky. Very Happy
I havent played the demo yet, but i watched an extended footage thing that was done by one of the testers and it looks sweet despite there being a lack of multiplayer features.
