Oh yes! It's finally out, and I was finally able to get my hands on the controls and the swinging action. Let me sum up my impressions in one word: perfect.
First thing I did when the title screen appeared is just let the music play. It felt really good to hear this similar tune. After that, I watched the small preview and it showed parts of the single player game. It looked really nice, and I can't wait to play it (damn, why did they release a multiplayer demo only? :( ).
After that, I navigated through the menus. It reminded me a lot of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes' menu, because it was something fresh. The more you enter the different options, the less you hear the music in the background. It felt organic and really good.
Then, the big piece: the multiplayer. The loading took a while, but I guess that's because not a lot of people figured out that a demo came out today. When I could finally play, let me just say it didn't even take me more than 30 seconds to figure out everything. GRIN nailed the controls, everything feels fluid. The swing physics works as they should, the sensitivity is perfect, the jump button is really useful for pretty much everything (which is funny because you don't have a jump button in the original games, and thus it didn't do anything... hehe), etc.
Only one thing I found funny is that people could kill me way too easily with a pistol. Maybe they have epic easy-trigger fingers or they're headshot masters... I don't know, I figured a shotgun in the face would hurt more than a pistol, but it doesn't seem like it. I blame the lag! xD
Well, that's it pretty much. You guys DEFINITELY have to try this out. I'll be playing this demo until the release of the game, that's for sure!! It's the game of the century!
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
