Its an FPS but more of run and jump rather than shooting a squad of enemies. I must say the trailers for this game look slick and this is one of the few titles I am eagerly waiting for.

Definitely has potential.

I don't understand the hype this game is getting. All that I see in the trailers is a game that looks like it would end up getting very repetitious very quickly. I guess if the puzzles are insanely well designed and creative then it could be fun. But if not then it looks like a gimped first person Prince of Persia with great graphics.

Yeah, I'm hyped for this game too. There's not enough innovation in this industry, and when something unique comes along and works well (e.g Skate) it's a breath of fresh air.

The trailers look great, I just hope it's as much fun to play as it looks.

I think this looks like a pretty badass weekend rental.....Im not going to buy it though....there's only a "semi-multiplayer" time trial thing (sounds lame) plus the producer said: ""the story we're telling at the moment is kind of a trilogy, a three-story arc.""

which tells me this will be short as hell with very little replay value. Assassin's creed anyone?

/getting sick of people deciding to make a trilogy before they've made a single game [or movie].

in the demo of this game on ps3 when I'm going through the tutorial the font size is really tiny I can't even read what it's directing me to do (I'm on an SDTV).. anyone else have this problem?

I only played the demo very briefly.. it didn't work for me, the first person view while doing all the maneuvers felt really weird

i quite enjoyed the demo and the fighting/running thing seemed to work pretty well. if the story's really good then it should be a good game but it could get boring really quickly depending on the level design.

I loved the trailers for this game, and really loved the demo. The first person view works really well and I'm really looking forward to pllaying the full game. Too bad this is released a week after Gears of War 2, not going to be able to buy until Christmas

i remember reading about games they came out, and later have to be patched because SDTV players, the text was too small, so that's probably the problem! they want you to buy an HDTV! (and you should to take full advantage of it your game console!)

cool concept but looks really hard to be made well enough to be sweet

Pretty fun demo. Short, but fun. I'm not sure if it'll get repetative or not, but this will definately be a rental for me.

I've played the demo about 20 times, trying to go faster each time (I've also tried to find "hidden" jumps and stuff with no luck, so there probably aren't any in the demo).

I'm likely buying it next week, as long as reviews indicate the single-player isn't too short. The multiplayer is supposedly just online time trials, like DiRt was, but I thought DiRT was great, so... I can't wait.

First review is out... I guess there is NO multiplayer at all which kinda sucks:

Considering how many people seem to bitch and moan about movies like Cloverfield, I'm surprised there's a large enough market for a game like this. I sort of expect 90% of people to complain about how they get sick just during the loading screen.
