This thread has been linked to the game 'Battle Engine Aquila'.
I have I got it yesterday from a company that gives you games for cheaper and a day before release *and it aint sr* from first impressions Its great just about to sit down and play heavily on it

Yup, I did it. Use the Battle Engine with the beam laser thing.
From where you start the level fly left and land on the ridge near to the edge, transform, move down the ridge a little in the direction of the sea, the ground is lower down so the hill protects you from the missiles, and the boss will just sit there firing them in bursts. In between the bursts - he'll do about two or three, then close up until you appear, as he opens thats your chance - move in line of sight, zoom in, use the beam laser, repeat about five times and he's dead, then use the beam laser to finish of the remaining part.
The further I get into this game the more impressed I am, on the level trying to stop the sub escaping it's base....

It's got a weak point. I think you have to fire into its core when the four 'prongs' open up, if you know what I mean.

Apologies, after having a look it does indeed have a 2player option, but if you don't have two pads plugged in - like me - it's greyed out, is anyone at the bit with the big red spider boss kind of thing, it shoots the Venturer out of the sky.

Yeah. That's the case with most games on PS2 and Xbox. Take Splinter Cell, will that match the impressive graphics on the PS2?

You're blind ;)
The Multiplayer is where the Load, Options, etc are.

Anyone know how yo access them ? There's no obvious thing on the menu, or am I just blind ?
"There are multiplayer modes", not "There is". Sorry, I'm a stickler for correct spelling.
I've completed about two-thirds of the missions, and even though it's a good game, there's something missing. That special ingredient, that spark. I'd give it about 7 out of 10.

There is multiplayer modes!
SKIRMISH: One player joins the enemy [Muspell] and the other player joins the good guys [Foresti]. You battle to gain control of various islands.
VERSUS: One on one combat.
CO-OP: 2-player split screen co-op through the whole game, ala Halo.
I've not tried any of them, but they're there according to the manual.

No 2 player mode ? I thought it was supposed to have a player co-op mode. :-(
Oh well, still looks good.

I've got both demos on PS2 and Xbox and have to say that the Xbox version has much better graphics. For example the reflection of the sun glinting off the water in non existent on PS2.
