Yeah I got it on XBlive too, figure I might as well be able to PLAY what I download, my lappy just doesnt have the grunt for it.
I can see potential for it being good, it's got a good level of creepy already (I found myself saying "No, don't go after that crying woman you idiots, didn't you play the first game??") and the supernatural butchery from Extraction Point is a nice nod to that although I could do without those ghost enemies. If I had a gaming PC, I'd probably buy the PC version but the controls of the xbox version are just too clunky for my taste.

They're clunky on PC too, no leaning and the default controls are unusable, had to spend 10 minutes configuring them. Just so you get an idea, they mapped sprinting to alt, zooming to shift, and melee to mouse 2.
On the performance side of things, I was able to play on max settings and hit 60 fps with an X2 4800+ and an 8800GTS. It's a very pretty game for such performance.

Thanks. I love it when links come to me, I'm far too lazy to search out these things for myself.

The PC version doesn't have lean either?? Damn thats dropped the game down a notch towards bog-standard-fps town. Sure flipping cover is awesome but if you can't lean around it and there's no cover mechanic then whats the point?

There isn't any flipping cover, only enemies do that. As far as taking cover, crouching behind something then standing up is about it. Unless whatever you crouch behind gets blown up in your face.

well there is flipping cover in the 360 version, you walk up to a table or something & press USE and he flips it over

Looks like I'll be playing the demo a second time...

I played the demo and It is great. But there is no leaning, this is so stupid. Also game is too easy for me even on a Hard mode, they must raise the difficulty. And finally there must be an option to turn off the visor.
Menus are like a console port, not user friendly.

Thank you! So many games do this nowadays it makes me want to break/kill/rape something.

Not a bad demo, though the city and the visuals aren't worth drooling about. I loved the first one/Extraction Point, but this leaves a lot to be desired. Let's just say I won't be in line to get this any time soon.

Was going to download this last night, but didn't get around to it. Just fired up Steam and noticed it's on there too, so I'll download it from there.

Hm. Another game with tables capable of stopping high caliber rifle rounds? Great.

The demo was cool, but I wish they would do away with the health bar system and use regenerating health. I've gotten so used to the system that I'm pretty terrible at some of the older shooters now. Bad Company had a unique take on the system, where you got a health bar, but you also got a regenerating syringe that brought you back to 100.
