I’ve just been playing some demos for the XBox.
I hated Star Wars Republic Commando because there didn’t seem to be anywhere to flip the Y-axis and I kept shooting the ceiling or the ground before getting killed. That lasted about a minute. 🙁
Unreal Championship 2 was great fun in spite of me losing. The levels are laid out very well and look amazing. I shall be playing more of this one.
Area 51 seemed very sluggish and it wasn’t clear who the enemies were at times until they started firing on me. Didn’t fill me with the need to play more.
Timesplitters: Future Perfect was pretty good, though the graphics were a little simplistic in places. However, this was more than made up for by the sight of the huge burning craft crashing in the background and the partially invisible creatures.
Constantine, as a game, was actually more fun than I was expecting, even if a little simplistic in it’s setup. I hate that it’s so different from the comic, though.
Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams looked like real fun, with wonderfully rich colours in the backgrounds, but I got frustrated at one point and maybe need to have another go to be fair to it.
