I'm really enjoying this game so far.

Any one else?

Haven't had much chance to play it over the weekend, done the first island though, it's basically the tutorial level.

I really like it. I think the look is very distinctive, and the controls are great. Once you get used to them!

I got it, it's pretty good actually! Might look childish, but no kid is gonna get through this in a hurry!

Gah, still can't find this damn OXM. I've never had a problem before. Even WHSmiths didn't have it, which is normally guaranteed to.

*sigh*

I enjoyed the Crimson Skies demo too. A good example of try before you fly.
Ninja Gaiden demo is good though not being able to save is a bind. Got through to the Boss and had him down to a quarter health before I got pasted. Had a "special power" in stock too which I didn't use which would have helped(the advice not to go toe to toe with him was duly taken).

Galleon was Ok, but I'm not sure it's really for me (PoP may be a better bet).

Right then. I played through the demo last night, and loved it. I was really disappointed when I got to the end of the demo and the "To be continued.." thing came up. I want to know what happens next in the story, which I've never really felt while playing games before.

The animation is so smooth and detailed and works really well with the look of the game. I also think that the camera system works well, as I never got stuck somewhere without being able to see what was going on.

Combat was a bit of a let down, but then this isn't a beat 'em up.

Was tempted to get it, and saw it brand new for 19.99 on eBay, so have bought it. Result!

Also really liked Crimson Skies. Had been debating about getting this for some time, but now I've played it I'm definitely going to get it at some point.

Haven't tried out the other demo's yet.
