This thread has been linked to the game 'Gun Metal'.
from the demo, all i can tell is that it has absolutely amazing graphic properties, but seems babyish - and far too easy, i mean, what kind of person puts AUTOAIM in a PC game?
i think that if the demo reflected the full game, then they definitely need a bit of 'flowing' action, instead of walking about 20 miles to an installation and back again, for about 10 seconds of fighting.
Same reasoning could be used for Mace Griffin, which had a great premise for a game. A FPS, where you play a bounty hunter and engage in space combat, how could they fail?
Well after playing the demo all I can answer is they failed because they forgot to add a entertaining game on the original idea. The combat is the worst bit, you never feel like you hitting anyone and guns feel woefully underpowered despite their size. Add to this, bland levels design, repetitive mission structure and abysmal space dogfighting and it's a game which could a very well should have been much better.

I agree, the demo was alright but lasted me about 10 minutes, if that.
