I thaought it was borderline rubbish.
Liner, felt like wondering through a corridor. Got bored, turned it off. Maybe im just to used to Battlefield & even Crysis - all have very good "openess".
I really enjoyed games like cod4, SoF2 & HL2 but they didnt seem so closed in. Maybe my expectations have changed.
Anyway I got a ton of ps3 & wii games to finish. GTA4 seems huge!
I wont be buying Haze, maybe next year for £15 second hand, if im bored.

Enjoyed it. Fluid gameplay and good controls and great AI. Nectar power up is a nice addition.
Think some of you have got into the mindset that it's rubbish so i'm not surprised at some of the negative opinions.

97% downloaded, Have this on pre-order so this demo may make or break it. Looks like mixed views so far. I want to like it as I like any dev who is willing to delay to ensure quality.

Doesn't seem anything special, pretty much average.
Maybe the storyline will carry it...

Started to download it around about 7:40 so i though to myself ill play some GTA 4 while its downloading, just finisehd some missons and wondered why the demo hadnt completed yet, it must have pasued itself while i was playing GTA 4, was only at 2%

STILL downloading and only just over 60%
Ah well an excuse to keep playing GTA

Nothing new tbh
FPS on a console so I wasn't really expecting this to match anything on the Pc.
Felt like resistance but new skins and texture.
Also I couldn't figure out how to aim down the sight so it was difficult to game.
Might be worth it for co-op though as that looked promising.

Nothing special at all. FPS doesn't work on consoles in general, apart from a few exceptions. Sadly this is not one of them...
The controls are ok, but far from perfect. The enemies move too fast for you to be that accurate and zooming gets boring fast, it's not satisfying snipering people when you can do it with every gun. As for the guns themselves, they are ok if a little boring as well. They don't feel very powerful and you get no real kick out of splattering peoples brains out, which is a shame as it kind of defeats the point of an FPS!
The story seems non-existent from what I can tell. The entire nectar thing is just pointless, I really don't see the need for it. The gameplay feels incredibly scripted, with wave after wave of enemy followed by a walk down a fixed path. When at the crash site you can't always get up the sides of the trench despite the fact that it's clearly not that much of an obstacle, might just be me but I find that really annoying. I can't see it going anywhere interesting from the demo. You would think they would include a decent level to make people like it, so if this is all they have to offer I'm a little disappointed with the level design.
The graphics are nice, though it has its poor moments. At the end, before you get on the chopper thing, the landscape in the distance looks pitiful. There are also a lot of low res textures, though I guess that could be to keep the download size down as it is already quite large. Not fantastic, but not poor either.
Generally speaking it seems ok and I'm sure the final game will have more to offer. Having co-op is nice and I'll be renting it just for that as it's always good to play with mates even if the game is so-so. Shame really as I can't help but feel this could have been much more than it appears to be.
Just my 2.5p

Dunno what you guys are on about that was great fun! Granted the graphics maybe aren't cutting edge but apart from that I really enjoyed it!
My biggest grips with most console FPS's is the inability to aim properly without a keyboard/mouse but straight away I had no problem gunning people down. Using the nector was also great fun although I did overdose on it the first time and just ended up shooting my squad but still
Once I'd used it properly it was awesome just running straight into battle shooting all down all the enemies.
I was a little worried before playing it that I'd have to cancel my pre-order that I placed about a year ago based on what others had said but after that I'm sticking to it and really looking forward to the full game

As much as I love the darkness, I still feel Chronicles of Riddick is slightly the stronger game.
