Impressed by the demo, but still a bit worried that this game is going to lack gameplay depth. I just get a feeling that diving in slow-mo is going to get dull after an 8-10 hour storyline.

Here's to hoping that's not the case.

ill be getting it later, im expecting it to be like Max Payne, with all the slo-mo diving and stuff. Lets hope there is variety in levels.

Really liked the demo, and I enjoyed precision shooting people in the balls far more than I probably should of.

But I can see where your coming from Art, wether I would enjoy ball shooting for a whole story line is in doubt.

It was a bit slow to download when i tryed must be a lot of people as Marketplace stuff is usally very fast, but i will download it later.

[Raff]

It's good fun, if a little bit dodgy on the control and camera side of things. The destructible environments are ace.

At one point I was trying to step off a railing to get a paper swan, but kept wall kicking and landing on my ---- instead...

[linkofhyrule]

Wow, more than I expected and a very well made demo as well. I think it lasts for a good 20 or so minute and then more difficulties get unlocked along with the other Tequila Bombs.

I didn't know it had multiplayer and even though it'll probably be 'meh', I'm definitely considering buying it now..

I really like the cinematic videos as well, they make the game a lot better. And the destructible environments are just amazing.

I think I might end up buying this now. I'm just not sure if I want the PS3 version for HardBoiled on BluRay or the 360 version for Live and Achievements. Hmmm

[Dcontrol]

I can't believe how much it looks like Chow Yun Fat (Inspector Tequila Yuen) it's scary. I didn't really like the demo because I thought the controls weren't the best or the camera didn't function as good as I'd have expected. Funs in parts but I got bored pretty quickly to be honest.

Its like the sequel to the film Hard Boiled (1992 film) if anyones seen that which is a good thing.

Iv always been impressed from the trailers and screenshots iv seen over the months but had my doubts that it would play well, boy was i wrong. This game seems like a breath of fresh air, not only can you jump around like a hyped up kangaroo but you can destroy pretty much anything.

This game is on my most wanted list for this holiday season for sure(Y)

[Uriel Septim]

This game impressed me i like the gameplay and love all the slo motion diveing across tables. Graphics were ok not the best i have seen. Only problem is there are games i would rather buy so i wont be getting this when it comes out.

Demo 7.5/10

[JoshD182]

Love the demo, hope the rest of the game lives up to it!!!

[Truplaya83]

Awesome game, ill definately be getting it after seeing the multiplayer at the end. Didnt think it would have MP, only a story. Cant wait for it

[Glitch100]

Anyone else seen the secrets> Golden pistols (dual) -(single) and sub machine guns? and the red birdy tequila bomb thing

[ri0tNL]

It's a fairly decent max payne-like game. In my opinion it got a bit repetitive, and it was a bit too easy for me as well, but each to his own.

[robsta06]

i was VERY impressed with this demo, to be honest, I like many other people werent expectin much from it, but i really enjoyed the game. Easy controls and sooo awesome!

[Truplaya83]

found the gold pistols, but where are the uzis? What is the red birdy?

unlocked all the moves by playing through twice. Barrage mode is so cool, and the spin move will be useful in the full game im sure

[JoshD182]

Gold pistols are in that room with the broken wooden doors, but i am yet to find the uzi's!

[bingo83]

Good fun demo, lots of action, although a bit samey. I liked the slo mo bullet time, shooting peeps in the baws never tires :D

I think I will be getting it on the PC though.

[carocat]

I've only played the demo once, but I wasn't too impressed which I'm sure I've said somewhere on here.

I was mainly disappointed that I didn't get to try the spinning around move. Did you guys unlock that? If so is that depending on style and difficulty?

[Truplaya83]

yep, i played it on easy and unlocked the barrage move, then on mormal and unlocked the spinning move. Doing it on hard after that unlocked nothing.

[axelthunder]

I loved the demo it just a Max Payne for 2007..only worrying thing for me is that it will get old real quick..weve seen this all before..but if they keep introducing these special kill shots throughout the storyline it might just make it lol

[Chinster]

Enjoyed the demo, good silly fun. Probably won't pay full price for this but I'll pick it up when it's el cheapo.

[silentbazz]

Meh..
Wasn't that impressed to be honest.
Trouble is I played this after playing the BioShock demo..

But for me, this demo got very same-y real quick.

[Truplaya83]

the main draw for me is that this has mulitplayer and bioshock doesnt. MP could make it worth the money if its done well. I might rent it first

[Fusion]

I liked the demo. Quite surprised actually. So to get myself prepared for the game, im gonna rent Hard Boiled :p haha
