What demo on 360 have you been enjoying most? I've clocked up three hours all together playing DiRT 2 online with my mate, and about an hour on Lost Planet 2...though im not very good at it. Damn giant salamander frog mutant...

Thirded. Although I enjoyed the Lost Planet 2 demo as well... only on co-op though.Armored Prayer said:
I still haven't got round to getting that yet. I don't think my connection can handle under 2 GB at once! It used to cut out after 1GB. (Alas I will never know how bad Wanted really is...)Armored Prayer said:
I thought Arkham sucked. It looked good, but was slow, sluggish, mechanically not there enough for me to even rent the game. The constant slow motion and feeling that Batman was actually a suit full of bricks rather than a human killed what could have been an amazing game. Canceled my preorder the day I played the demo.
That being said, I don't think I've played a really enjoyable demo in a long time. I did enjoy the Mini Ninjas demo, as "kiddie" as it was, it was fun, fluid, looked good, and had some nice features.

I downloaded that because it looked unique, but forgot about it as soon as tried DiRT 2 out online. I'm going to go play that later now! Thanks!DemonI81 said:
By the way, me and my friend call the Lost Planet thing "Stubby", because it has little stubs for legs when you blow them off.StigmataDiaboli said:
Or Demon Toad from Hell.
I'm not really a great fan of playing demos at length.
It makes me sad that I don't have the real game, and that whatever I do will have to be redone when I buy the game.
That said, Shadow Complex is mega fun.

It's a stealth game. It's not supposed to be fast paced. And you can run in the demo, you don't have to walk everywhere. I take it you never played Splinter Cell?DemonI81 said:
I dunno, I played Mini Ninjas, Demigod and Batman: Arkham Asylum...
I liked only the Batman one.
Demigod, while is a very good game, suffers from what DOW II suffers - one person lags, everyone suffers.
Mini Ninjas started off nicely, but the mediocre graphic + lagginess (I don't understand how such average game can lag on my PC) have cooled me down. And the loooong running sequences... And I somehow died from swimming in the river using the hat. And CHECKPOINTS, MY GOD, IN THIS DAY AND AGE?! They don't even offer the ability to overwrite them, and if you miss one (not that hard), you are screwed and have to start from the beginning.
Only Batman was good, because it felt really great, sneaking in the shadows, under the roof and stealthly neutralizing enemies. Almost like Hitman, but without blood or the need to hide the bodies.

I'm not talking about the pace, I know you can run. I'm talking about the actual fighting. I'm sorry, but when you're surrounded by 6 guys, stealth goes out the door and you need a fluid fighting system/mechanics, rather than the feeling that you're a washing machine with bricks for arms and legs.Doc Theta Sigma said:
Each punch, each kick felt so labored and the fact that the game had to go into slo-mo for every other hit just increased this sluggish feeling.
I thought the combat was brilliant. Batman actually felt like a human. By bag of bricks you mean actually lifelike and not some doll of some action game. The kicks were in slow-mo so you could see all around you, the other enemies so you could see if they were gonna attack and what not and counter. Thats what fluid fighting is about. Its fantastically done combat for what is going to be a stealth game. I have no idea how you found it so bad.DemonI81 said:
May I ask a question? Is Arkham Asylum that horrible kind of "if you get caught once, game over" stealth, or is it stealth where you actually have the ability to defend yourself if necessary?
I haven't played many demoes for recent games. I downloaded the DiRT 2 demo though - it's really good. I like it a lot. Also, is there a demo for Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood? I haven't looked in ages.
It looks like a fun game, so I'd like to try it out. The Arkham Asylum demo sounds fun as well, but I haven't downloaded it yet.
