Has anyone else played the demo of this is the latest OPSM2?

This game rules so much and the multiplayer I can assume is twice as good. Basically you play a character which is an oversized monster like godzilla or King Kong or a hidious rock thing and battle each other to the death. The demo only lets you play as 2 characters but it's kept me entertained for hours.

The level is a whole town with destroyable and climable buildings. You can pick up vehicles and use them as weapons to smack the enemy or throw it at them. A fuel tanker is best as it explodes in a mass of fire. There are even little people running around for you to tread on. Other weapons include pylons, scaffolding beams, radio masts which impale into the character. The effects on the collapsing buildins are very sweet and if you time it right, you can knock a building down onto an enemy crushing them.

This is only the demo and I can't wait for the full game. What do you people think?

The demo wasn't too bad. I couldn't play it for hours though, it got really boring after about 15 mins in the same level.

ZOE 2 looks amazing though, thats a must.

It's alright, but it's a bit of a one-trick donkey. I can imagine it getting very boring very quickly. The 4-player bit sounds tempting though.

At first glance reading about it and seeing the game on TV i was not that intrigued just a Godzilla rip-off. However having played the demo I was surprised how addictive the game is and even though it's only a demo I found myself playing it for hours, being able to throw tankers and cars at you apponent is cool, also the way you can destroy the buildings when throwing apponents. The graphics are surprisingly crisp, clean and colourful. When is it coming out by the way?

Is it really any good?
I thought it would be just a one-idea game and pretty lame. I thought you'd walk around and fight really slowly 'beacuse you're big'.

Anyone played Unholy War (PSX)? I imagine it something like that.

I am wrong though?
