Thanks for that piercing insight. What's the matter? RRoD?

@James: judging by his total of 4 comments on that account, he is a ps3 owner but just doesn't like this game.
Although, him saying he died in the first 2 minutes raised an eyebrow. I think I died maybe once at the end of the demo.

I can't wait,
I understand this game isn't going to be a halo killer or anything, but this game is just what I want in a shooter! Sure it wont redefine FPS's, but that's what I like about it.
It's just the game for me.

I played the eu demo, i think it plays just like halo3 and abit faster moving. I'd rent it to go through the single player, but i have to many online games i'd rather play than to invest that time in this one.

Yes we do it's godawful! The gameplay is terrible. Might just be me but I played for about 2 minutes, died then deleted it. Probably be different for other people, but I thought it was a bit rubbish.

You deleted the demo because you sucked at it? lol, that's funny.

No I deleted it because it sucked and I'd had enough of seeing such a dire game on my PlayStation

Yep all '2 minutes' that you glanced at it, i mean 'experienced' it... at least make your comments have some backbone to them if you want people to take you with any seriousness... 2 minutes? you didn't even get past the first group of baddies... i think you just suck at games and blame it on the game... this is from my 2 minutes that I've known you via proxy on the net... lol

pretty shocking. the graphics and gameplay leave much to be desired.

downloaded it last night. it was ok, the flow of movement feels good but the aiming is a pain, I felt myself having to run up close to the enemy and using the melee attack. the way the story is integrated into the game is good. overall I'd say its slightly better than run-of-the-mill but just barely.

You can tell all of that from a 7-minute demo? Wow... You're good.

@Adolson:
You should read the book Blink, it talks about how we don't need to see much of something in order to "get it." A short amount of gameplay shows what the entire game may be like. (Emphasis on may, because, even though we are surprisingly good at judging things without looking at it much, we are still wrong sometimes.) How many people knew how great of a game GTAIV was within the first five or ten minutes of playing it? I know I did.
From what I have played, it's gone from being the "Halo killer" everyone thought it would be to a 7 or 8 out of 10 game. I wasn't too impressed by it, so I might not end up be buying the game in the end, because there are just so many other games that I have that I have to beat, let alone MGS4 is coming out in one month, and I can only play that for about a week until I spend a couple weeks in Europe.
Maybe when Haze drops to $30 or $40 I will pick it up.

@Amish,
You should read the book Different People Have Different Tastes, which is a book I just made up because I disagree about GTAIV. It's good, maybe great, but it's not perfect, and it's not for everyone. I played it for about 8 hours and I sold it. I'll be buying Haze. It's more my kind of game, and I learned that by playing the demo, which lasted much less than 8 hours.

Yeah, sometimes i amaze myself.
what I meant by how the story is integrated into the game is that its seamless and doesn't break the mood during the mini cutscenes. It feels a lot like Halo 3 (for better or worse)

His point was - how can you tell how the story works into the game just by playing a demo? Most demos contain just enough of the game to give you an idea of gameplay, not really of the story.
It's funny, there was supposedly a lot of hype over this game, but I never really saw any of it. I mean, there were lots of articles about it being delayed, but they never really talked about what made it *good*. It was almost like meta-hype. Hype about the hype that should have been but never was.

what I said I was basing on the segment of the game that I played. I meant that in assuming that the rest of the game is told in the way that this first part of it was it is pretty cool (not very unique but good).
I don't really know where the hype for this game came from maybe because its an exclusive (for now )ps3 fps and all exclusive fps are expected to be great/special. . . i guess.

I played through the demo and it was ok but didn't seem like anything grand in my opinion.
