At work ... can't give it a try.

I literally LOL'd at Vitamin D. Good show.

I think they're better off without have Damon in there. It makes the game appear to be based off the books rather than the movies which gives it a better appeal imho.

DL'd it and my opinions are mixed.

I think the takedowns look great, but every time you get into a fight, it goes through a little cinematic before the combat actually begins. The quicktime events are also sudden, and if you miss them, the game ends and you have to go through a long reload process.

Got annoying fast.

Replaying the embassy scene from "Identity" was nifty.

I'm holding out hope that there is more to the combat than just light and heavy attacks, which build your adrenaline bar allowing you to do takedowns. There is apparently a charge-up move (a kick) but I could never pull it off without it getting interrupted by a butt kicking.

Really want this game to be amazing, but I'm just not sure...

I'll d/l it after I see X-Play (I missed it on Friday).

I loved the movies so this should be good.

So... Why exactly isn't this on the UK marketplace? I could understand if this America only... But two PAL, English speaking territories getting the demo and the UK doesn't... Can't even download it from any other marketplace because I only have Gold Membership on my UK account.

Oh well, sure I'm not missing much.

Of, if you dutch the angles, vignette the frame and reduce the colour palette it'll look dead 'filmic.'

The games industry, asserting their own lack of style in the same way as the BBC drama department.

this demo was more an an interactive movie than a game...

this whole thing was one long quick time event.

I downloaded and played through the whole demo.
I thought it looked pretty good graphically.
Gameplay was up and down for me. Fighting felt kinda clunky from time to time. Takedowns were cool though.
The Gunplay was generic and not spectacular...but i had some fun with it.
The driving mission felt stale, boring and felt like an unecessary addition...It was really short though...hopefully its better in the full game.

im gonna just go out there and say it...i think it looks really good, a little TOO good for a movie game, so thats a plus...the fighting is definitely growing on me, i see some diversity with the kills and i really appreciate bournces intensity when he deads someone...its kidna weird that i have only encountered 1v1 fights though? the shooting needs work, but again, i don't even know if thats even a concern in the game...it seems to be speed first kind of like a better The Club...so thats where level design becomes suspect..i mean come on the driving level was totally lame it controlled like bumper cars...either way its kidna cool i'd rent it unless i see some better pacing...and oh yea ATB stuff was only cool in shenmue

The game seems like a rail shooter to me. Sort of.. follow this path, hit buttons correct timed sequence, win. Yes there is some shooting elements and it is not quite as restrictive as a true rail shooter, but it has that sort of feel to me. The car chase sceene felt very dry. The environment looked so plain and non discript it was sort of boring. Run around in a loop long enough for an exit to become available. Blah. I don't feel like I am part of the story, but simply a virtual camara man. The fighting is sort of the same. It looked like it had so much promise in screen shots, but the fighting seemed to be nothing more than taping a few buttons long enough to do a finishing move which is sort of repetitive. I feel they could have done the game a lot more justice by taking queues from the fighter genre and buit in interesting combos and button combinations to give a lot more variation. I did like the counter system when a boss uses a take down move against you.
