I just played through the single player demo and a few matches of one of the multiplayer modes and had a few thoughts to share since no one else is really talking about it. In Reply.

And now for the game itself. I'm not a reviewer by any stretch of the imagination, so pardon my incoherent ramblings. First off, if you were turned off by the first game, you need to suck it up and give this one a shot. Based on the demo, it does a lot of things right that the first one did not. The shooting is actually enjoyable and extremely intense. It's a cover shooter, but you don't feel invincible behind those narrow cement beams as I was constantly being pegged from all sides. Towards the end, I was a little weary of the cover shooting mechanic, so I hope they mix it up with some other types of gameplay. In one of the trailers they play at the end, they show some kind of rooftop chase scene which looked pretty cool.
Now the thing that's probably going to get the most attention (positive and negative) is the presentation. It's like a documetary is being filmed and you're playing the game through the lens of the camera. Lots of shaky cam footage, but also weird effects like video artifacts, cell phone disturbance, blown speakers when a large explosion detonates. At first it's pretty damn cool because I've really never seen anything like it before. Like every scene in the game is going to have the same level of intensity as the bank robbing scene from Heat. This all sounds well and good, but by the end of the brief singleplayer demo, I kind of wanted to vomit. It's almost too intense, so I really hope they address the pacing accordingly in the full game. Like, the next scene should be going to the supermarket to pick up some eggs and milk or something to balance it out.
Well shit, this is long and probably won't be read by anyone in the ER. I mostly just wanted to vent my anger from those Live fuckwads.
