Lucky! I'd love it to come to the west.  I dont want to make a JP account just to download the demo tho.  If anybody played it with a better understanding than Jdevil3 be much appreciated to share your thoughts.  Thanks.

Nothing wrong with your description Jdevil3 just want a different insight lol

Lol, I was like "WTF? I didn't say anything bad about the game" :P

I can tell you that you can aim your weapon with R1 (without sight, like Resident Evil 1-3) and shoot with Square (you can move and shoot at the same time though). You can also aim with R2 which shows a reticle for precisely aiming at body parts... you can pull off headshots that way... you control your aim with the left analog sitck while aiming with R2.

When your heat gauge is full, you'll see some green targets on stuff like gas tanks... if you aim at them and hit triangle, you'll do a heat action with your guns like shooting at the gas tank to make it blow up and kill nearby zombies.

I think pulling off head shots fills your heat gauge faster... but I'm not sure since I can't read anything in the tutorials.

You can grab stuff like in Yakuza 3 and hit zombies with that. You can kick zombies with circle... you also evade with X.

The pistol has infinite ammo. But the machinegun and the rest of the weapons aren't unlimited and each one seems to use their own kind of ammo.

Apart from the normal zombies, there are some fatties that throw some sort of smoke or something like that, some girls that scream and call more zombies, a golem type of zombie that you can only damage if you shoot him in the head and I don't remember if there were any other weird types of zombies :S. I think that's all there is in the demo.

Oh, some dude that tells you to go to a DVD store joins you later and fights alongside you... you can give him commands... no idea what the commands say though... there were 3 commands :P... he also had his own potions which you must tell him to use when he's running out of health.

You also get checkpoints and there's a Rank system... I got S rank in almost everything but the time was always super bad like a D and some other stuff with A and B so even if I had mostly S's I ended up with an A overall.

I could go training with some sort of black american soldier with big muscles, lol. I had to shoot targets and run to the goal...

You can get inside buildings and everything is destroyed except some parts of kamurocho which seem to be intact for some reason... it's probably those big walls that protect the rest of the city from the zombies.
