Don't.

I swept it a while ago.

I don't think I managed to complete the 2nd level, it wasn't that it was bad, just that there was something not quite right with it.

Got a dreadful mark in a magazine review, I wouldn't even bother with a sweep after reading it

Due to no edit function, the demo currently flooding my internet tubes.

Thread moved for your convenience.

Speaking from past experience, downloading a game just to see how bad others claim it's supposed to be is rarely turns out well. With the possible exception of Boiling Point, which I enjoyed for the short time I played it but the bugs stopped me playing for too long.

I just quite fancy a sci-fi shooter quite frankly, which is why this grabbed my attention. And the ease of use of steam.

If it's bad, it's bad, but then again, I liked Chrome until I got royally stuck on one level.

Was fairly impressed with the demo actually, not a run in and shoot game as you die quickly. Plus there was murdering an Italian.

Sold me on that really.

I tried this before, didn't quite impress me and it doesn't have multiplayer mode.

It fails the taste test badly.

I told you so

Actually I looked at the trailer after this thread and was almost tempted until I saw the driving bits.

The demo was semi-promising, I was banking on it being a proper demo build and not just a cut down final build (ie, like Breed). I was wrong, I accept that now.
