I loved the demo.

So far i've played through it 4 times.

The precision shot is so cool. the slowmo blood and stuff is really sick.

I may have to play the demo again tonight haha.

The demo was pretty good and the action was cool but I can sense that the entire game might become repetitive with just diving and shooting things above enemies heads to kill them. I mean it's basically just a series of open areas where enemies keep pouring out, it's like a survival mode of some game. It's pretty fun, but doesn't surpass something like Max Payne. I'll rent it, but with all the games coming out this fall, I won't buy it. I'm happy that they released a demo so now I know not to buy it.

Without the slow-mo, it's nothing special. And diving and slow-moing might get boring and repetitive.

I wasn't planning on buying the game, and after playing the demo my opinion hasn't changed. I don't buy games made by midway.

The SMG's are in the last encounter of the demo. They're down the stairs to the left, by the pillars. They are behind a wooden fence you have to blast through. I'm definitely going to buy it, but I'm a big fan of Hard Boiled, so I was sold as soon as they said I could play as Tequila!

In the first showdown, shooting the first gas tank next to the first guy then watching him SLAM into the cement collumn is hilarious and awesome.

From the video they show you at the end of the demo you can tell it won't be all repetitive. Then again it's just a demo so i can see why it would make you think this way because basically you shot anyone that moved.

The one thing you're forgetting is that it's a John Woo game, what did you expect? an RPG? It's nothing but stylish and mindless shooting action. I'll be getting this for sure now.

I loved the demo, played through it 4 times already. I wasnt going to buy this before i played the demo, but im really excited for it now. If the multiplayer is good, then its a must buy for me. The best part is precision aim, it so much fun. But, when a guy gets shot in the face, he should die right away and not hold it in pain!
