I just played through the demo for vanquish. If you're not familiar with it, I recommend downloading the demo on xbox live, but the basic premise is, it's a third person shooter wherein you're some guy with a badass robot suit which allows him to zoom around the battlefield at mach speeds while killing stuff.
The graphics are arguably the best I've ever seen on the 360. The combat is intense and awesome, and there are enough testosterone and explosions to make Michael Bay shudder with inadequacy. Yet it's possible that it may be overly awesomified.
For example, there's one point in the demo where the boss you're fighting starts firing off hundreds of mortar missile things. They aren't easy to avoid, but they aren't impossible either, and you would think after flipping and power sliding around all of them one might think "whoa, that was awesome" but what was going through my mind was "That was way too many fucking missiles."
I honestly don't know what to think of this. It's possibly the most fast paced and action packed game I've ever played, but it almost seems like too much.
So, have you tried out the demo? If so, what do you think of it? Did all the badass gunfire and explosions make it too hectic to appreciate?
Discuss.
