| Badly implemented, disappointing demo. Ridiculous amount of data for a 5-10 minute demo. Feels dated and offers nothing new. Feels a bit like a darker but unoptimised Prey (but not as good playability). All a bit chaotic and not that scary. Feels like a console port too, with the weird 'mini challenges' where you have to quickly press the direction keys in exact sequence, to fight a baddie or avoid something. Feels way too prescriptive and console-ish. Oh well. For my money... one to miss... |

| Pff I thought it was great. Short demo yeah, but that does not make it a bad game. I like having two weapons to choose from at all times and switching characters. The artwork is very impressive too. |

Fahrenheit and Sid Meiers Pirates had the same 'push the correct button' sequence mentality. Definetly borne from consoles.
Graphicaly the game looks superb, but so does HD TV. It's no use though if the program or game is crap though. |

First of - this is not Unreal 3 engine, it's Mercury Engine.
Second - You would have to download 1 gig even if the game had only menu with no gameplay at all because you have to download the engine and some content, being that the engine alone is prolly ~600mb, one gig is fine. We are way past '99's where you got 10 demos on CD with your favorite mag 
Third - I don't like pushing thoese sequences with buttons also, but that may be because I never had to do it before (didn't buy a console since sega mega drive  ) |
