      Remind me: people were reasonably impressed with this game, yes? I'm excited to see what the buzz is about.

      I thought the demo was awful. It was entirely generic and had not a single stand out feature from what I could tell.

      The storyline could have been interesting but when the opening scene has you mini-gunning 12 helicopters out of the sky my suspension of disbelief was somewhat lost.
