It seems nobody has made this thread already. Weird.
So yeah, I downloaded the Xbox 360 demo and tried it out ( note that I have NEVER played a Res game in my life, so this was a first ).
Well, my FIRST impressions was "huh, nice hunk of a guy". Yes, I thought that. The guy is fucking HUGE. Damn, I think his biceps are larger than his head.
Second thought? Real nice setting. Colours are nice and varied.
Then I started moving around. Camera is a true nuisance. When running and stuff, you cannot rotate it, which just makes it utterly gay. Other than that, everything looked fine.
So I started off and wandered down the little hill, no zombies surprises just yet. Tried out the aiming method and liked it, realistic and making it harder to kill shit.
So zombies started attacking. Immediately, I realised how hard this was going to be, especially with the crappy amount of ammo I had gotten.
I liked that, made me have to think my strategy. Sadly, I wasn't THAT good just yet. I got owned. Wasted so much ammo and shit, that when the MASSIVE guy came, I shat myself.
Safe to say, this game is both too unforgiving at points, and just downright gay at others. For example : You are about to die, and your buddy immediately gets you out unscathed and revives you. A bit stupid, but I guess they have to have that as a balance to the utter craze that is attempting to kill those fuckers.
The unforgiving part comes when you have no idea how to kill the bastard. You are surrounded, your partner is constantly getting owned and you have no ammo. Safe to say, you can't win.
I liked this game, from the small demo I got of it, it was both original and nice. Having zombies out in the open definitely reduced the scary factor, but it made things more interesting. Obstacles and shit that wouldn't be there if you weren't out in the open.
This could either be very good or a failure. Unsure what, right now.
