meh. felt like it was all style no substance. The levels were just arenas, so it's not like your ever challenged to fly tight spaces. A bit related is the movement in the mech. It's a bit too straight forward. i don't see dog fights really being a thing. The feeling of movement is actually much more interesting when you are out of the mech. Was really confused when my mech died at the boss but my dude was still alive. i just ran around looking for shit and trying to kill the little guys. pretty confusing. Why even include that part of the game? Might just not be my cup of tea which is too bad, because i really enjoyed the voice acting, character design, visual style, and i LOVED the soundtrack.

Totally with you about demos today.  So much of the demo tends to be aimed at you getting to know the characters and the story.  That's what trailers are for.  I love that stuff when i'm playing the actual game, but if i'm playing the demo i'm only trying to get a feel for the gameplay.  All the other stuff is just getting in the way.
