weighs in at a little over 300 MB
Happy downloading

Wow! This game fuckin rocks. I'm buying this one for sure. Game is fun and challenging.

Go try it now!!

Sure is sexeh. Not used to the controls yet though.

Is this an odd mix between Dead Rising and Lost Planet?

LOL, yea I meant Lost Planet.

(crack is bad)

lol

I read the topic and said to myself "another planet game?"

I should have known madex was trippin again

Take MadEx's word for it, the demo is awesone and it's a beta. The game gives you a taste of the power that the 360 really has. It's only 304MB and it's f***ing great. Grabbing this one when it comes out. You gotta dl it asap. I might even play through it again.

Its DLing! cant wait!!!

game is fricken sweet.. sucks i got killed by one spin attack from the last boss and there are no checkpoints.

totally dig it though... its got some next gen aspects

Are those the best visuals in a playable game/demo for the common consumer? Or is it just me?

loved the demo! I got killed in both missions but sign me up!

I didn't die once. You guys suck.

Have that Matrix feel to anyone? Those flying things reminded me of it.

I think the game is awesome. Wish there was some quick dodge move though.

For me, it was a waste of a dl

Didn't like the game, not to say the graphics and design were not well done, it just didn't do nything for me except save me $$ from buying or renting it

Your a hard one to satisfy kernel, I thought it was very cool. Watiing for Halo 3 are we? I hope that isn't the only game your going to get.

Wow this game is amazing, has a graw feel mixed in with a little gears of war feel to it.

graphics r definatly nextgen, and game play is outstanding, definatly picking this biotch up!

It's harmless arcade shooting, pretty much the same tunnel running we've seen before, but frosted with some really beautifully crafted visuals. I love the snowy world and the feeling of the whole game. The animations are top-notch (the way the hero changes orientation) and the snow effect looks lovely. Many things are destructable too and the gameplay was easily adaptable. Steel wire was a great way of dodging from bigger enemies.

Still, I'm not that sure if I'll get it since I'm afraid it might get old after a few hours, so I'll look into first reviews to see if there's enough variety in the game.

It def looks great, best grapx ive seen so far. Exept 4 the screen tearing wich kinda sux, but ok, its wip. Like the guy above me said:I think it will get boring really fast so its gonna be just a rental i think. I'm looking forward to the future for 360 games.. How will they look in a year? And what in 2 years?

SO lets see here

Lost planet = everyone says great graphics, looks like it'll get boring quickly

ok but where did you reach that conclusion all you played was the DEMO. You have no idea so stop wasting our time.

GoW = wow great graphics. Boring? No no way none of you says it'll be boring. Not for the most overhyped game in xbox history. More than halo.

Both games will be great. But you really need to give games a chance before jumping to conclusions. That's why there are demos. If you aren't satisfied with lost planet. I feel sorry for you. not every game is gonna be a halo. That's just a fact.

I found it to be very enjoyable. THe fact is in...gamers standards are set to high. There are gonna be alot of disappointed people if a game isn't waht you expect. I'm sure you'll speak a different tune of this game was hyped more than GoW. That's just the way it is. Tell me I'm wrong.

Wait for reviews but I think this game will be good. Levels seems long and detailed with nice enemies. ANd there are only 2 levels on teh demo. I can't wait to see how many levels will be in the final game.

:BIG FAT THUMBS DOWN:

this game is horrible. graphics r good..gameplay isnt my cup of tea.

I spent all of last night downloading new content, I haven't gotten the chance to play the game yet.
Hopefully I have time to give it a spin tonight!

This game will be a fun rental.

i think many are rating the game too early. there are obviously a lot of things missing in the demo levels but it is still a great game. i think it will be an oustanding game when it's finished. also it kinda reminds me of Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

55inch hd tv, 5.1 polk theater surround makes this game very immersive and impressive. i dont know people can play these game on a simple tv

cause they (me) dont have enough money for a super badass tv. ! ! !

i understand =( i think some times alot of the game is lost with out it. so much production value goes into those things. hopefullys hds will come down in price soon so everyone can expierence

sorry....but this demo just feels like all the other cheap shooters that ive played....might rent it but i doubt it.

few issues with v-sync... never the less, lost planet is a must buy game

I love this game. It gives me that Resident Evil 4 feel along with the sci-fi itch I've been wanting to scratch!

My favorite part was near the beginning of the snow pirates stage. I killed the first few snow pirates and then went foward towards the bottom of the first watch tower. Well, being the first time I played it, I didn't know about the missle launchers across the stage. They fired at me and by the time I realised what the massive fireball coming at me was, I got blown backwards along with all of the watch tower. That was f**king amazing!

i dont get screen tearing btw

its only boring because there really isnt a story there, its just shooting which if i like it this much w/o a story, any decent story will make this game awesome

i wouldnt be suprised if these are the same people who didnt like it too... i played it at my friends house who doesnt have hd, wasnt that impressed... but when i dled it on my own box hooked to an hd, i was blown away... and i have a pretty cheap HDTV that i got a couple months ago

I never said anything bad about the game, i just didn't like it (my preference) but the grpahics are good and makes me feel excited to see what future releases will look like. As for Halo 3, i will probably get hyped and buy it but i have never been all that impressed by there series..
But it does look sweet on my 100" HDTV Front Projector TV just had more fun playing UNO, LOL

Now I want to see "Altered Beast" on XBL Arcade and I will be happy


PS go SENS GO

it seems like a pretty fun game

i was impress with how smooth everything moves as well as the subtle uses of motion blur

I agree, I was looking forward to this but it was pretty crap.

Aiming isn't great, 2nd big bug thing in the building killed me even after emptying all my Machine Gun & Rocket ammo into it.

Footprints disappear

Deleted the Demo and the Trailers I thought were good.

I wouldn't class it as next-gen, GOW is Next Gen, this isn't.

I like amount of content they are putting on the Marketplace now.

Although it kept disconning yesterday when dloading Halo 3 trailer

GOW is next gen and this isnt? dont get me wrong, i drool over every pixel of GOW, but none of us have even played it yet.

You have to aim at the glowing orange tail part. Anything else won't affect it. The second big bug is easy to kill with the mech suit! Have fun!

I have to disagree with everything you said.

Your not agreeing with me, because I NEVER said the game was "crap"

I finally got around to playing the demo...

The Graphics are simply jaw droping, easily better then anything I've seen on the console yet. The animation and the flash light effects when you go into darker areas... simply stunning.

The first mission scared the hell out of me. I was consentrating on all the little bug things when you pass under the land bridge. I was sort of walking backwards just admiring the scenery and I stopped moving so I turned around only to see the enormous bug monser getting ready to stab me I almost shat myself seeing that larger then life on my HD projector.

Obviously the demo doesn't give us any taste of the storyline, and it's clear there are some tweaks to be worked out with the game play. Moving the character is a bit too tight and slow, while moving the crosshairs is a bit too loose.

If they worked out the UI issues (which really arn't THAT bad) and added a decent story (which if you watched the trailer it looks like there IS a really good story) this could turn out to be an awesome game. If anything it looks like a playable Starship Troopers.

As of right now it plays like a tech demo, and honestly I felt like I was playing a pre-rendered cut scene... I have no doubt GoW, CO3, or even Killzone 2 graphics are possible on this console. It's just a matter of seeing the developer make good use of it.

finally some one who can speak the words i am to lazy to type!

had some friends over tonite and handed them the controller before showing them the game, and they were in awe. the giant creatures movement is so fuid. the explosions are room shaking. very fun!

Hahahaha, same here

Wow now this is more like it!!! The abysmal sony showing and now the sweetest lookin game nobody has ever seen.


Somebody's neighbors are getting 360's this weekend.

too true. i finally played the demo briefly last night after having the E3 party at deftech's place. truely i did not expect the game to look and play this good. i saw the demo a couple days ago on my bro's regular TV and was mildly impressed but playing on my HDTV was like another world. a lot goes on with particle effects (snow, sparks, debri, etc.) and no matter what it stays silky smooth. i also got a Starship Troopers vibe when gunning down hords of bugs in the parking lot section of the demo with the green blood exploding everywhere thanks to my shotgun yes, i was wrong and now i do believe that killzone level graphics are nearly reachable on our beloved system.

Twisted,

I could be wrong but I thought I saw in the options look sensitivity.

I was impressed with this demo and look forward to the final product.

that is great we get 2 levels to play, totally different gameplay. I played for a few minutes the first level, also got a big "Starship Troopers" feeling from the arachnids

but, at first it was kinda boring. empty clip after clip into bugs that barely even tried to kill me. I did make it to that big fugger in the hangar, but died quick. the controls take some getting used to.

then i played the next level. big difference fighting humans, good AI to go against.

i'll hafta play thru again and see if i notice anything major in the graphics. the first level i found it hard to even see the enemy spiders because the snowfall was so cloudy....probably on purpose but i couldnt tell what the hell they looked like up close. plus the fact that the footprints disappear......those little things. explosions are ok, every games has a different type of course, this one is ok. i wasn't really like: wow, look at that explosion! like i was in graw.

aiming takes getting used too as well, but not hindering the gameplay. I think it wouldn've been better in first person, imo.

have questions:

Do those orange glow boxes left from dead enemies restore health? is that your health meter at the top left? and it keeps going down as time ticks unless you pick up those orange packs? weird.

Also, do you get to try the mech in the demo, second level? i fought with it some, died, but didn't see another mech that was empty.

great demo... mine keeps locking up the 360 though... anyone else having this problem?

my 360 has only locked up once on me before (during normal use), but in this demo it's locked 4 times... 3 in the garage area of the first level and once right after going throught the tunnel with the mech suit also in the first level.

I deleted the demo and downloaded it again, same problems... I know it's just a demo, but kinda odd that I seem to be the only one with locking problems.

No lockups here. I played it through a couple times now both levels and on the second time it was even more impressive when I realised I could blow away some of the walls and especially the guard towers.

Its little touches like those destructable elements (that blow up with decent physics too not just animations) that give a nice deal more oomph.

Its funny though, I bet the PS5 and Xbox 4 will still have plenty of games where most of the stuff isnt any more destrucable than most games today. Some devs just dont see the light of physics. Gladly Bungie already did with Halo2 (within the limits of the xbox) as did Valve, and the non-visionary folks might just follow suit.

played it, better when playing it in person but sorry dude its not really amazing

I played the demo through as well. I'm also careful when buying a third person, but I've seen enough to know that I need Lost Planet when it comes out... I nearly crapped my pants when this big monster popped up out the snow.. good times, good times.. did any of you grab that huge as shotgun where the mech suit is in that hanger ? Looks like one heavy gun!!
