The actual mechanics of the demo left me mostly unimpressed (or rather, dismayed at how tired they felt), but man, when I stumbled into that smeared-out video store and the cops were everywhere and the guy was on the ground with his face blurred out like on tv I couldn't help but to relive the day when I too was strung out on PCP in a Shanghai slum and was also having a shizophrenic attack while fending off a seemingly endless police horde. So in that respect I think IO should be commended.
Damn right. I snapped a few necks that night too.
The look of this thing is really impressive actually, in that kind of inverse-effort sort of way (a bit like
Grindhouse spending millions to accurately emulate films made for small change). Even the oft-griped shakey-cam effect didn't seem that bad. But my god is everything else boring as hell. I kinda like the idea of playing as the bad guys from some movie like
Another 48hrs or whatever. Just sleazy scumbaggery turned all the way up to hilarious. But a game would be nice.
Grit is also a problem when the guy in the singlet is shrugging off round after round with barely a mark to show for it.
