This is the first installment of a trilogy and a demo of it came out today on the 360... first of all the demo was pretty fun the only problems that i had with it are the camera controls, but i wasn't used to it because the right stick usually used for the camera is now used for the fighting in the game.. innovative, kinda clunky but still effective but sometimes you can just point it in one direction and kill 5 enemies with just holding it.. i almost died a couple times due to the mini bosses that have shields and this big gigantic robotic thing where you have to destroy various spots on its body to actually kill it.. it was really fun
the beginning of the demo was pretty hard but all rpgs are since you have crappy equipment.. and i must say the cinematics are spot on, they are amazing.. the voice acting of some characters is laughable but others are really good, idk how that could of happened... the graphics are ok for this generation, not the best but the backdrops are beautiful when you visit Asgard in the flashbacks, its the beginning of the game and no major spoilers... i was a bit confused with the beginning of the story though...
the character you play, Baldur, is pretty bad ass, the only reason i think so is because the lines hes got in his face that glow blue... lol
all in all it was a pretty fun demo, i'm thinking of picking this up when it's released in august, for others who have an Xbox 360 and live, download the demo and check it out.. it may not be for everyone but i enjoyed it..
