well eidos has another failure coming to the 360. hitman was like the only best game they made in history. but battlestations felt like a battlefield reject to me
I was really excited for this game until I watched the live interview last week. It was really bad, but I still might give the demo a try but I doubt I'll even look into buying this game.
it's a great demo and it will be a great game, it just has a steep learning curve and takes skill and TEAMWORK to play and win, I can't wait for this to come out
I thought it was great, was playing the demo for about 3-4 hours yesterday, and although it took a while to get used to the controls, it was a great game - a definite buy in my opinion.
The graphics would be crap even for last gen, the sound was mediocre at best, and the controls were loose and unintuitive. And not only that but when I tried to leave after the game was over it froze my system. One battle and I un-installed it.
are you kidding? the game is not an action game, its an RTS that allows individual control. My buds and I played on live for 4 hours yesterday and had a great amount of fun because we knew what to expect. Its not a graphics wow kinda game (originally developed for the XBOX) but it is still worth a try if you like strategy
I played the demo, i agree it has a steep learning curve, once i got used to it i started to win more often, but it really matters on team work also. Like i would send 3 bomber jet units to their ship yard while the other person takes out their other base. Its a different type of game, people dont like change but i thought it was good and fresh. Its quite nice to take over a plane and have dog fights in an rts.
yeah, it definately brings something different to Live. I thought it was pretty good especially just for the change of pace in my opinion. I like the laid back approach for a war game.
I absolutely agree. The controls were awful!! After watchig the demo video walkthough I thought it would be fun. Instead the game turned out to be garbage.
meh... I had a hard time in the begining because I wasn't familiar with the controls. Once I got used to it though, it was pretty good. The graphics aren't that great, but everything else is pretty good. The game has a surprising amount of depth, you just have to give it a chance. Don't get me wrong. The demo was kind of glitchy, and it froze on me twice while I was in the pre-game lobby. Nevertheless, its something different and I don't think its bad at all. Would've been nice if we could have had crisper visuals and larger scale battles, but hey, if the game does well maybe we'll get a sequel that'll have that.

That's probably because you didn't spend any time getting to learn the controls, or got owned because you didn't play as a team (not necessarily your fault). This is a GREAT game if you put a little time and effort into it. Good job Eidos!

you have to admit though, the discontent with the game isn't entirely peoples' fault. I learned how to do everything from the 8 minute demonstration video on youtube. w/o that I would've been completely lost. And even then I had to figure out a lot of things on my own. Not to mention the graphics are a bit sub par, and the demo is a bit glitchy. I'm not saying I don't like it, I do, and I really hope the flaws have been ironed out or at least polished in the final product, but I can see why people aren't too happy with it.
the demo is quite fun once you figure how to do the stuff you want to. The game play is a little slow, but this is a thinking man's game, not a run-n-gun type of game.

yea...i found thief and hitman the best games made by eidos.
The Battlestations demo turned me away from the game though. I REALLY wanted this game to be something I'd like, but judging from the demo it's not. Granted I only played one game, but I couldn't even make my ships move 0.o It was weird. Like sometimes they'd do what I told them, otherwise they'd just float there. 'n one of my boats started to do barrel rolls in the water. Lol. Anyways not saying the game is bad or anything, just saying my experience with it sucked. Maybe I'll give it a second chance? Oh well. Too bad I Don't have any rental places around here, I could just rent it..
Battlestations: Midway demo was so much fun that I had to buy the retail game. So to me this is a great game that is alot of fun to play, as I know that I am glad that I bought the retail game.
It seems like to me that most of you only like games that are easy to get in too. Also it takes time to destroy a ship as it is not like in a FPS or a TPS were a couple of bullets can kill and is easy that anyone can do. So hey whatever, and all of you are missing a really great game.

Agreed. I didn't play the demo but I have the full game and it is so much fun. I haven't gone online yet but am looking forward to it after I'm done with the campaign/challenges. It's not for everyone.
So many people are to stuck on graphics. They're not perfect, but the gameplay is fluid and addicting. it might only be a niche game but if you fall into that niche you will be in love.
I tried to play it, but they just showed me a port and I didn't know what to do. So I quit out of the game. Probably me just being a mo-mo or something, but wasn't the best experience either.

That's why they call it a ''demo''......Its not the finished product...And besides the game is great fun with killer anime cut scenes.....
Maybe 1 reason why people dislike this game is that the achievements are very difficult to obtain (minus a couple)
For those that are having issues with the controller layout it's not that hard......Once you do The Naval Academy you will have a much better grasp on things...
Me too had problems with the demo and not knowing what to do and yet...I bought the game....
