I wasn't impressed by any of the videos I had seen but now I've played the demo on the 360 I can safely say it's really good.
(Why no demo on the PS3 is what I'd like to know).

The different gameplay styles are fun with the standard 3rd person shooter sections broken up with short cut scenes and bullet time cinematic scenes where you have to shoot multiple targets while dodging their bullets. A little like time crisis.

The scenery interaction is great and I admit to spending much of my time looking round mow target for things to explode or drop on his head rather than shooting him directly.

This demo is a must play if only for the special technique 'precision aim' which allows you shoot your target in a specific location via a slow-mo zoom angle then the camera follows the bullets path to the enemy then impacts where you fired garnering a suitable reaction from the wounded man. Everyone must shoot a guy in the groin at least once. So damn funny.



What do you guys think?
