So, I got the two level demo today. Played for about half an hour. Graphics are good though a little bit over detailed in some places making it not come together as well from a distance, not incredibly sharp either. Water is great, and fun to just dive in a swim about. Freedom is something that is great in this game. Foilage is nice and popup is only really noticeable while in the jeep chasing after the helicopter. Whether or not this will be fixed who knows. Character models are ok, nothing spectacular, ragdoll is in full effect. Blowing up barrells looks nice espicially one which is next to a fuel tank and radio tower blowing guys through the windows and having the radio mast crash through the hut.
AI is good though a mixed bag. Unfinished no doubt. I killed a guy on the shore and two guys on a boat came up to investigate while I was lurking in the bushes. They were dead asap I set up a trap with a tree branch, you then through a stone in the area and only the guys with a green dot on the radar will investigate. Works well. Yellow, red are the others with red being on full alert attack mode.
Aiming, controls are pretty much standard with no auto aim that I noticed so thats good. Aim were you want and he is dead. Head shots are easy and quick depending on distance. Changing weapon is a bit tricky. I would of preferred a scroll with the d-pad but its set up a bit strange. See how it turns out in the final product. Only got to try the knife, pistol, slienst pistol, machine gun.
Overall, I'm impressed and would probadly buy this when it comes out. Makes a change from other games giving us a bit of variety. Controls are solid, graphics are great, freedom is something that I love. Many ways to approach a situation. Did I say the water is superb.
