Anyone played this yet? I played the demo a bit back, was amazing. It's a FPS, but totally cell shaded and shown in a graphic novel/comic style. You shoot some guy up on the cliff, 3 panels pop up showing him falling off. Seeing DAKKA DAKKA pop up in a speech bubble... was just great.

So, anyone tried the full game yet?

Got it and love it. It's very under rated.

Decent game. Just beat it.

The ending sucks complete ass.

If anyone has questions, feel free to ask. The story was what I played it for. I didn't really care for the 'feel' of the game, but then with FPSes, I'm pretty picky. Story was good, voice acting was good as well.

Played the demo also, while I discourage cel shading, (if its done half assed it looks amazingly bad) It was very well done in this game. I loved the comic book feel and fighting was pretty good too.

Going to start this game after work today. I'll post a review when I finish it.

My friend couldn't get it to me fast enough when she finished it... Apparently I just HAVE to see it.

I'd estimate it's about a 12 hour game.

It's a lot more thinking than it is 'run and gun' per se.

I watched a co-worker here at work play it, at first I was like OH CRAP THAT'S COOL. but after a few minutes I got bored of watching it. Looks cool though.

at my company conference the developers had quite a display with a huge-ass ice sculpture of the XIII insignia and shit...lot of free shit and drinks and got to play it...the graphic style is sweet...but the gameplay is nothing new under the sun

Horrible game. My mouse sensitivity kept getting continuously toggled low, meaning I'd have to reset it every 5 minutes. The rendering was horrid on a GeForce4, every NPC over 5 feet away was totally blacked out by over-shadowing geometry. The voice acting was pathetic and I hardly got out of the bank before I was so disgusted with the crap that I uninstalled it.
