 | just finished playing the PC demo - hey, it's a new FPS that actually surprised me! and in gameplay!
 
 if you haven't yet, first download and play the demo, before
 reading on. it's more fun the less you know beforehand.
 
 **SPOIL0RzZz!!!LOL!!n00bz!!pWN3d***
 
 I thought the "you can walk on walls and ceilings" mechanic
 sounded a bit okay beforehand, but I didn't think it would
 be quite as good as it was in the game. better yet are all
 the strange warping portals, and the tricks that are played
 with them - the world within the world, seeing yourself
 looking through a portal, etc.
 
 also, the whole you died BUT OHNO YOU DIDN'T you just get
 more powerful - classic and surprising. nice.
 
 and when you get killed in the game you get a nice little
 battle with evil dead spirits in the spiritworld and are
 allowed to return - that's nice, no need for endless
 quickloading. it kind of keeps you in the action more.
 
 I'm not a big fan of the design, so far. I just don't like
 the look of the Doom 3 engine, I guess - it makes every
 surface look like shiny plastic (yes, even when I see it run
 on better graphics cards than mine..). and the whole look of
 the aliens and the ship is ofcourse clichéd to hell and
 back, although the barfing orifices were a nice touch.

 | it's a beautiful game, despite its engine, and it's even quite fun to play. reminds me of the BUILD games.

 | Everytime I see the previews for this in Computer Games magazines, I just turn the page, the art-style instantly
 makes me not want to give it the time of day. But because
 qrter likes it, I'll give the demo a shot, it sounds like
 the gameplay could be ''a gas''. Is it disorienting?

 | not really 
 the most off-putting part of the game was the intro where
 the main character looks himself in the mirror

 | plot sounds awful fom the official site and the whole dying and battling dead spirits sounds exactly like soul reaver to
 me. However i have not played it so what do i know!

 | it's not disorienting, I think because you as a player initiate most of the changes in direction, or at least
 that's the case in the demo. oh it's just.. fun.
 
 this might also have a semi-decent story - it'll still be a
 Hollywood blockbuster fucky plot, but if it'll be quite
 refreshing if it has A Plot at least.

 | the game completely head fucked my stomach with all the portals and gravity fuckery, but they were a nice twist in
 an fps game. I enjoyed the long demo, its well worth a
 download especially only at 400mb. Id say its going to be
 better than quake 4 and certainly doom 3. The introductory
 sequences were amazing.

 | there was this game called the taskmaker or something for mac a ways back, it was an above view puzzle/action game
 sort of like the adventures of lolo. but when you died you
 went to hell and the walls were made of flames and you had
 to get to the exit with out getting caught by the demons
 
 just thought i'd mention it.
 
 i'm the worst kind of person

 | I'm pretty happy with the gameplay in the demo. It's really the strangest FPS game ever, but getting used to the world
 isn't really hard. What bothers me is the general gimmicky
 feel of the game and Tommy
