It's extremely short, and suffers from a fair bit of slowdown when there's a few enemies on-screen. It'll draw comparisons to G.R.A.W. because it's a tactical-shooter, but it's very 'arcade' styled.

The devs have already stated that this is not a tactical shooter. Therefore the squad commands are simplified.

It's really really really short. It's not  even a full mission. But other than that, the game looks great (unreal engine 3, I don't think I need to say anything else) and the gameplay is also good.

I think its damn good for coming out of no where and just releasing a demo and its good to boot. The graphics are nice, the setting is nice, the atmosphere of the game is nice. I'm putting this one on the 2-buy list.

graphics are below Rainbow six vegas and gears (also Unreal 3). the demo is short.. has some exciting featyres like environments that are destructible...(to some extend) .. i'm not too excited about it though.

It's very short, but the enemies take an age to kill. In that propect, I'd hardly call it a tactical shooter. It's got tactical elements, but the main point is going behind cover now and then, and just unloading your bullets/ grenades.

I don't think that game will be very good. I saw the trailer of Blacksite on the marketplace and it didn't look like a quality game. I'll check out that demo though, could be wrong.

I don't think there is nothing tactical in this game... It doesn't even have somekind guard or hide button. And I don't like that one button command system because if command to your allies to go behind corner you must look in that way and you can't shoot enemies at the same time.

It's supposed to be a follow-up to Area51on the XBOX which was inspired by Area 51, the light-gun shooter in Arcades.  So it's got a decent pedigree behind it, (I thought Area51 on the XBOX was pretty fun).  I'll DL it now & check it out.

I enjoyed the demo very much. Nice visuals just a bad framerate and to "bright", The game is to shiny. If the game improves I will definitely buy it when it is released.

Its decent, not mind blowing but sure makes it interesting. Noticed some frame-rate issues but could be cuz its the demo. Has a bit more interest to me than the FORZA 2 DEMO displayed. Its now on my games to get list.

Yeah I thought it was pretty good.  The graphics are great but there is some slowdown.  THe lighting is really great but the demo is really short.  It feels like Rainbow six but more simplified and more forgiving, which for me makes the game fun.  I was already thinking that the multiplayer would be killer.  THe end of the demo made me think I would probably get this game.
