    Anyone try it ?

    Downloaded it last night and so dissapointed. Was hoping for something like the original RF on the PC. After getting over the very basic looking graphics (by Killzone 2 standards or even Resistance 1), the slowdown despite vsync being turned off in places leading to awful tearing, the gameplay just sucked. Very poor cover system, simple objectives, jerky animation, rubbish ai. Another boring shooter ala Haze, Fracture etc.. Glad I tried the demo as this is one I will be definitely avoiding. Pity. I was hoping for something special.

    I'd agree with you about the graphics but I suppose its all they can push with fully destructable environments.
    I really enjoyed the demo. The controls were good, melee was mental and the damage you can cause with the vehicles is very impressive.
    I'm defo gonna get this when it comes out.

    Agree Flaccus terrible game by todays standards.
    I played for about 5 min then uninstalled. bland landscapes, characters and shocking AI. Although I did enjoy driving through buildings in trucks :D

    Yeah driving through the buildings was kinda cool. I finished the demo and uninstalled it as well. I could have lived the with the bland graphics if the ai was better, and they got rid of that tearing. Does my head in.
