Thats a good review,he did elaborate in the things he tought were a flaw but when you see that he is complaining about the lenght he lost me.

Those flaws were in every old school game,everyone even Ocarina of Time,pacing? the hell is that? plattforming? again? I will complaing too because there was a jump I couldt do in Mario Bros :P

I just think those flaws are for me nothing to be worried about and nothing more that fancy stuff to complain because you are in a internet site,I mean come one man he even complained about level variety? what the fuck is that about?

You want to understand lack of level variety? go play Prince of Persia Warrior Within and get back to me. It's a valid point to complain about.

I hate some idiots like that.

If thats the case then Symphony of the Night isnt a true Castlevania game considering Alucard isnt using a whip even if he isnt a Belmont, he leaves the castle...so the game is really bad! /sarcasm

I have seen enough variety in gameplay videos and screenshots for this game to know there is enough to keep the game fresh to the eyes.

Its funny, if there is too litle variety, they complain.
If its too much variety, they complain.

No game in this genre lets you go everywhere you want, what kind of an idiot thinks like that?
Its not a freeroam game at all, different routes you can take, but not in the type of "I want to jump over that little bush".

They nitpick for the sake of it.

It was as linear as NG2, very linear.

Only thing that was everywhere was Krato's annoying voice and design :P

Not bad, but this got to me as "con"

" button-mash heavy combat"

Ehm, all these titles in the genre can be considering button-mash heavy combat, but that wont make you survive from start to the end of the game, and not veyr fun if you dont put some effort to learn some combos.
Speaking in general, nor just for this game.

Anyways, thursday is so damn soon, can't wait to play it myself :)

Keep in mind, combat tutorial.
That is one thing many forget when trying the demo.

Really liked the demo. Satisfying combat, but the camera did really get in the way. It was impossible to tell if what I was attacking had died or not when it had gone off screen. The on-rails segment was very boring. Hope there aren't many of those. Rolling is definitely not quite as good as in GOW. I don't see why it's not on the right thumbstick since there's no camera control. Animation and motion blur were incredibly cinematic, and all around the atmosphere was great. Felt like a very interesting combination of next-gen presentation and oldschool design choices. Wish they'd included some platforming since according to Gametrailers that's the game's weakest aspect. I'm definitely looking forward to playing more.

I actually prefer the block+dodge considering then you dont remove your right thumb from the other buttons for attacking, you will be ready for quick roll>attacks.
NG had this as well, so you can both have block>roll>attack>roll>block...etc. Pretty great for defense to offense and vice versa.

The idea of having block on at all times and be able to roll away from the enemy and then quickly attack/block is great, it will come in handy, especially if you master the counter attacks.
Though the only purpose the right analog has is R3 which you click in to do something with magic (forgot what it was).

Camera was a bit annoying when the Warg was close to the screen, I couldnt tell what plans he had for me LOL.
I agree that I hope this stuff doesnt happen to often, but it depends on how the AI will react to your movement when you are playing so, hoping for minimum.

But cool that you liked it, with your standard and all LOL :)

The block+roll works well in most other cases, but to me this felt delayed or something. I think this might just happen to be a result of the camera, being that I'm more readily and quickly able to dodge with a stick when I can't see the enemy coming at me at all.

And my standards aren't very high, just not Dark Sector low ;). Found a place locally that has good deals so I'll most likely be playing this and Enslaved tomorrow on the very cheap. Score!

I can say that there is something "off" with quick block after a roll, takes time to get the block animation in act, not big of a deal, but its not super good.

Atleast the camera is better than NG right :P
In NG2 its crazy bad, but its due to the fact the enemies attack no matter where they are, those damn offscreen attacks *sigh*, atleast here they will come near you to attack so you wont be frustuated of that stuff.

But its all good :)

Can't really post detailed impressions given the length and nature of the demo, but...

- Combat is pretty good. I'm a bit disappointed that it lacks the visceral nature of something like Conan, but the combination of area and direct attacks are pretty awesome. I can tell that there are going to be some sweet, sweet combos as you progress.
- Graphics are fucking awesome. Such a beautiful looking game, which is helped greatly by some subtle effects such as the use of motion blur.
- This is directed at KORNdog: how is Patrick Stewart's performance emotionless? It's about as good as anyone can expect a narrated performance to be. The voice talent and general quality of the cutscenes actually make me not want to skip them, and I usually skip cutscenes in most games.
- I personally had no issues with the camera, which is strange because I usually hate games where I don't have full control of the camera.
- The dodge and block mechanics are okay, but I've seen better elsewhere. Still, solid enough I guess.

Overall, considering it's a tutorial, I'm definitely excited to get my hands on the full game.

Yes because the game was too big for one DVD disc :P

Reminds me of that MGS4 blu-ray joke Otacon made.
