  • Sausage Villan

    Kick @$$ i liked the first one for the original xbox ,never played 360 version, and this one has been on my radar for awhile can’t wait to try it out

  • BeeDizz

    Looking forward to it. The original was under appreciated.

  • Oh baby 1994

    “sorry but this demo blows hard jus like toy soldiers”

    Obviously you haven’t played either. The JC 2 demo is awesome and Toy Soldiers is a BLAST!!

  • WinterSnowblind

    I was never a fan of the original game. I was very hyped up about it until I played the demo.. everything about it felt so automated, the sky diving, the grappling hook, the driving. Just wasn’t natural in the slightest. I haven’t played this demo yet, but I get the feeling it’s going to end up much the same. There’s been a lot of hype surrounding the things you can do in the game, but once again I expect it to be all style with little substance.

  • A Place for Us

    Wasn’t expecting a demo today! Woah, I can’t wait for this to be downloaded. Loved the first game so much, despite some flaws.

  • Z4M0

    It may have its flaws but gives you enough posibilities to make the time you spent with it utterly fun, up to what your ill mind can scheme (hop from a bike to another while driving, tie an enemy to a moving car using the grappling hook, use fying gas bottles…)

    The demo itself feels like the full game just with a time limit of 30 minutes. Nice to try out some stuff in the game.

    Anyone that liked mercenaries 2 (!?) should check this out.

  • shaz73

  • metallicorphan

    -
    shame there is only 30 minute limit for the demo as there is so much to do,so i have played through it about 4 times now,going off in different directions each time(i love flying the plane)

  • K1LLER HORNET

    I didn’t like it – got bored by the time the time limit was up.

  • Blue Thunder28

    LOVED the demo!!! I’ve played through it several times and will do it more again tomorrow.. I was planning on getting this game anyway but this makes the wait a little more sweeter.

  • Sausage Villan

    this is quite a big demo that’s hampered by the 30 minute time limit ,despite that you can play multiple times, you can level up a few times and the action’s pretty fun …. i think my holy SH** moment came when i blew up a gas station with a flying canister/tank and brought it crashing down on the soldiers around it. i can see that when it comes out i am going to enjoy playing this one just for the mayhem you can cause if nothing else

  • Z4M0

    @ Gonzo345

    Gracias tio!

    So we got the chance of getting a total of 12 extra minutes of demo gameplay providing you complete all those perks. :)

  • SilentHunter382

    Played the demo and I liked it. Loved the first one but the second one doesn’t have the same wow effect as the first one. Will be getting but not day one.

  • TANK 2old2play

    I played the first one which came out on Xbox and Xbox360, it was decent. This one is also decent, they’ve really amped up the grappling hook and updated the graphics some. But it really looks like more of the same to me and I kinda got bored of the repetitiveness of the first one. So i’m going to take a pass on the sequel, might pick it up later in the bargain bin.

  • NumberedJester

    I found I was bored after a few minutes with it, not a big enough change from the first game to warrant buying it. I wasnt that impressed with the first.

    Though I did have a laugh shooting the vertical gas tanks then timing the grapple just right to launch myself into the air. :)

  • LawdaddyCO

    I actually enjoyed this demo quite a bit. However, I thought there were some weird quirks with the AI and the graphics at times. I also felt the controls were a little clunky.

    With all that being said, I still found myself having fun creating chaos. I’d rate the demo 4 out of 5 stars.

  • Ironmaus

    After seeing the trailer where the guy shoots the gas canister, grapples to it, and then rides it into the air, this game jumped into my #1 watch spot. I look forward to trying out the demo tonight.

  • XeonFive

    Not a bad demo, but my gaming plate is full.

  • Gonzo345

    @Z4M0 de nada! :)

    I’ll play it harder later. I’m enjoying the Bad Company 2 connectivity issues :(

  • JOECOOL 76

    Not that bad!

  • Anonymous

    horrible. garbage. this is a Square Enix game? man they must be hurting for money if they have to publish trash

  • VEGEMITE 98

    @major, why do you like the purchase price to Amazon? Are you encouraging people not buy at stores, besides I can buy this for $40US incl postage elsewhere

  • WinterSnowblind

    Much like the first game, everything about it feels very artificial, it’s all very automated. If you have a wanted level, you can simply hijack incoming helicopters with little more effort than a single button press.

    There were a few things in the game I did chuckle at (besides the story) but the amusement factor wore off very quickly. I think I’ll be waiting for Red Dead Redemption and Crackdown 2 in terms of sandbox games this year.

  • Golani 360

    Might give this a go sometime this week. BFBC2 and FFXIII are in my possession so hard to find time to play new demos.

  • Golani 360

    @VEGEMITE 98 Major is racking up commission on Amazon Sales that are re-directed via MajorNelson.com

    Nothing wrong with that but that is why the Amazon deals.
