Nice review and it remained relatively spoiler free, though those who haven't played the demo because they are waiting for the full release may still be a little disappointed that some stuff has been revealed.

The demo touches on very little of the actual story... it's merely the training level that allows you to get accustomed to the control system and whatnot. There's so much more to the story than what's in the demo and there's so much that we haven't talked about here - we just hope we've said enough to persuade people to buy this game. :)
how hard is it to find your way? is it like doom3 where you keep running in circles in same looking rooms all over trying to find that one door to be able to progress further?
or is it possible to actually find the way you have to take by other means than luck?
other than that... excellent review of a very promissing game...

A bit of both to be honest, sometimes you do find yourself wandering around looking for the next...uh... objective shall we say, but it's never as frustrating as the "Where the f*** is the yellow key" moments Doom provided

What's really amusing about this game is that you see more vertically with a 4:3 aspect screen/res than you do at 16:10 or 16:9...
Anyway... after all the hype, I find my reaction (which puts me in the serious minority, I am sure) to be a somewhat lethargic, "Meh," to this game. Which is a pity, as I was looking forward to it.
As an above poster says, it doesn't have native widescreen support :( It just stretches the 4:3 viewpoint, and then cuts off the top and bottom leaving you with a much reduced FoV.
Which I find really surprising - surely more pc gamers are playing widescreen than standard now, and every single 360 will be hooked up to a widescreen TV. Amazing they've been too lazy to support it properly.
Also, note to anyone with intergrated realtek HD audio - you need the very latest driver or there;s no ingame sound. Just in case that saves anyone some headaches :)

We'll be investigating this more when we get final PC code later today, but I wouldn't be surprised if in actual fact the FoV in the 360 version is the same as the PC widescreen mode.
I might have missed something, but are we saying that there is no proper save feature? Only the vita-life chambers?? Is this the same on the PC version?
I've pre-ordered the game and I'm going to enjoy it, but if there is no save function, it's dropping from a 10 to an 8 or 7. I *hate* (with a passion) games where you can only save at checkpoints; I hate having to do the same bits again and again because of one tricky sections 5 minutes ahead that I struggle to get past.
Joe... please, please, please tell me they have implemented a proper save feature on the PC version?
Also, is this going to be moddable (a la TES Construction Kit)?
The Xbox 360 and PC version both include a save any-where any-time feature which is even worse that the Vita-Life chambers because there's no penalty for using it.
EDIT:
Re: modding, prob too early to tell, but its UE3, which is supposed to be modder-friendly so don't be surprised.
My question, though, would be why mod the best game since The Secret Of Monkey Island?

There's a save function in the full game... just not one in either demo.

it's simply amazing. deserve the 10/10 score.

Rather coincidental ain't it? :p
Pre-loaded game, can't wait. :D
