What moron thought it would be a good idea to have a trial that lasts less than 1 minute. You just lost a sale!!!!

Funny thing is I didn't even know that they have such a short timer for playing in the trial, because I was so disappointing that after the loading screens i was probably playing for about 15 seconds. I was excited for this game and now, blehh.

I was excited about the concept of this game but the game itself sucks. The demo is horrible and maybe that's half the problem. You can only pick 1 mec on 1 map and only play SP DM. Then when you're in the game you can only play for 2 minutes and it kicks you out. What kind of nonsense is that? But it looks like it multiplayer and single player are exactly the same, DM and team DM with single player getting an extra 100 level arcade mode which is what ALL the achievements are based on, beating arcade modes at various points up to 100 on three different difficulties. That's so boring i almost fell asleep just typing about it. I'm not buying it just because of the uber-stingy demo.

Dear god, what are MS and the devs (if you can call them that) thinking releasing a demo that is over within a minute. How can you get a feel for the game let alone decide if you want to buy it in such a short amount of time. I hope this pile of sheite dies a horrible death.

I wish this game WERE about a fast-moving fist. That would be an awesome game.

No problem with the trial time, 48 seconds was just enough to see the screen tearing

Are you part of the War World marketing team, Anon 31? I don't equate running around looking for big robots to shoot with your weedy gun turret "funny stuff". That's before I ran out of ammo btw, and spent the last half of the demo (20 seconds) running around unable to shoot. I did kill one robot though, hooray...zzzzz.

Enough have commented on the time, so lets comment on the features.

The most basic and standard of online modes - had this co-operative play through the "100 stages", I'd be tempted - but as soon as I saw the timer countdown and kick me out of the "trial", I reclaimed that precious 150mb of space on my 13gb drive.

That said, it sure has some of the nicest graphics of the XBLA games - goes to show, graphics are certainly not everything... but the opposite can also be said for Megaman.

all i know is that this is probably one of the best looking live games. However. The game isn't unbalanced. It is just balanced-oddly. It's probably gonna gain a cult fan base that will spawn a sequel that everyone will love. I downloaded it and I am enjoying it. Just because the demo is a *** up doesn't mean the game is. It's actually kind of fun. Plus you can do some funny stuff.

Major, pass onto the developers my added vote for "45 secs, WTF"

I stopped downloading and trying any of the old arcade ports, it was either something I want or not, if I don't see the name and go "I gotta have that" I don't even bother, the trials on most of those are just as bad, timed and far too short.

Add to that that there's no indicator that the only working mech in the demo is the first one, they should have added one or two other styles to try as well as lock icons or "unlock full game" notes on the selection screen.

Having grown up with shareware, I expect more from my "trials" and "demos".... Doom, Duke Nukem, Comander Keen, all gave us a whole episode to try.

A 48 second trial? You have got to be kidding me. I'm not buying this POS just based on that alone. You can't even inform an opinion on the actual game with that length of time. Seriously LAME... Oh an yeah I ran out of ammo in less than half the demo time and couldn't find any extra Ammo laying around... Ultra Mega LAME... They should've called this game FAIL.

Demo ran fine for me.

Then again, this was on a PC three years ago.
