This demo was totally fun. landing on the front of a boat from my parachute, then taking out the guy driving it, ramming it into the beach and jumping into a car is awesome.
I wonderer if you can use your parachute to jump up into a helicopter :)

Since other companys are trying to break the Rockstar hold on "open world" gameplay I'm not going to say anything bad about this one. I will offer advice. Everything in a vehicle feels far too light, make them feel heavier, the lightness dosen't feel "more actiony" as I'm sure some douche in the office was adamant about. If you have to feed him ex-lax and then go over his head, do so. Also, whats up with getting shot 10 times and losing almost no health, along with that why make a gun you can pick up, with ammo constraints, weaker than the default never ending pistols? See, you're all over the place with consistancy and gamers HATE that. The world is nice but it's very obvious at this point that two companys created the game and the game world. Fix it!

This has certainly got potential but oh man, TEH BUGS!!1

This could really do with like, another six months of polish :( There simply is no AI. They just kept killing each other! Helicopters would randomly just fly into trees and explode! Then another would respawn and do the same thing again! Then my character got stuck halfway through a truck, True Crime New York style. Whilst amusing, it really felt like .. shit was broken. :(

The stunt stuff is cool, and I do appreciate the freedom :D but wtf, no ragdoll, stuff disappears in an instant etc. It's just the most uber-ps2 port'd xbox 360 game ever.

I really hope (but doubt) that they'll polish her up before release, I was really hyped for this -_-

heh, the animation is pretty bad. the cars have no weight to them. very arcadey. feels like moving over ice...but i fucking love it! the thrill of standing on the hood of the car and jumping off it as it rolls over a mountain into freefall is just awesome.

Haha, I think this is awesome. I (think I) completely screwed up the parachute jump, so I stopped traffic, stole a shitty truck and drove through some the woods to catch my first mark.

The gameplay is really similar to Total Overdose. I'd imagine the game gets harder later on, much like TO did.

Try stealing a motorbike, and hitting the "deploy parachute" button... :D

I think this demo is pretty awesome. The shooting sections work well once you understand the controls, and once you get used to driving that's quite good as well. The missions are pretty fun, and the environment is great.

I played the demo on the 360 and thought it wasn't very fun. I never got shot and stomped the AI (which isn't bright). Controls are akward and the driving is crap.
