This thread has been linked to the game 'Judge Dredd'.
Quite a fun game by the looks of it. Manages to recreate the look and feel of the comic strip quite fathfully. Not a groundbreaking FPS by any means, but an interesting diversion.
One problem though. The Product Placement. "Reb Bull" cans and textures (on walls, adverts, grafitti tags, warehouse crates etc etc) are EVERWHERE in the demo. Its past being subilinal and is almost offensive in beating you over the head with the advertising. I dread (pun intended ;) ) to think of how much will be in the final product.
I won't be buying it for this simple reason even though Dredd was a large part of my childhood, and I urge everyone else to do the same. Its petty and there are bigger things to worry about in the world I know, but this is a trend that must be stopped before it gets a foothold in the games industry.
Conveniently, a search for screenshots released by rebellion shows the red bull logo to be suprisingly absent. Is this a deliberate action on the developers part?

I have found *one* on about 20 screenshots, middle of the picture, in background in the form of crates.
