Hour of Victory demo ready for download

May 31st 2007 9:40AM (Joystiq Xbox)
I saw this last night before heading to bed, so I downloaded it and gave it a shot. OH MAN, DOES THIS GAME SUCK! Everything seemed like a poorly cobbled together rehash of COD 2. Terrible graphics and visual effects that make no sense (why does everything get bright yellow/orange when there's an explosion nearby?). I shot one enemy and watched it spin around and twitch for 30 seconds...yeah, it just kept spinning around on the ground on it's own after I killed him. The map is terrible and unreadable (maybe on an HD display you can make out which white blur reads N, but not on a normal tv). The standing position icon is a direct rip out of COD. The friendly AI is terrible and annoying...after clearing the section before you have to defend the HQ, I wanted to look around at the environment a bit, but was incessantly barking at me to "come on, over here, come on, over here, get moving, over here, come on, come on, over here...". It didn't let up until I finally went to the checkpoint and it was audible no matter how far away I was from it, either. So stupid. I just about choked when I saw that this used UT for it's graphics. It looks like absolute garbage. It makes me wonder who at Midway needs to be fired for allowing this turd to squeak through quality control. They'll be lucky to sell 5000 copies. HORRIBLE.
