1.97 GB ...... no thanks i would go download some other things than this, also this game won't be a hit , it will be good but won't match max payne 2 or fear standards in my opinion;

Have a nice day.

Aw hell no.2 Gigs is way too much.Come to think of it,if each demo is going to be so huge then I wonder how much will the full game offer.I played the MOH:Airborne demo which came in at 1.36GB(I guess) & the darn thing was very short IMO.The best demo I felt was Lost Planet's DX9 demo which was a mere 364MB demo but had huge levels.Wonder what compression this game had.Anyways someone please comment on the gameplay & how are the physics?

Ok i played and completed this demo.

First things first-
1. This game does not support DirectX 10.
2. The PC version has inferior graphics compared to the Xbox 360 version.
3 .The PC demo does not allow u to tamper with graphics or control settings.
4 .I thought the demo would install Aegei Physx driver but it didn't instead it uses havok physics engine.

The aim of the game is only one thing..........kill,kill,kill,kill,kill,kill,kill,kill, with style.
I was a lot disappointed with graphics.Tried it both on XP and vista and it ran like knife through butter.

There are a number of ways u can kill and enemy sliding of the rails,jumpin with style,jumpin off the walls,there's a precision mode where u can kill and enemy with deep precision and there will be a scripted death of the enemy.

Here's a scripted death in precision mode.

Yes u can guess where i aimed.
:D

Add to this the Medal Of Honor Airborne Glitch

A maxpayne fan would definitely go for this.Also the environments are huge and expect good level of variety in different stages.Gameplay wise the game allows u to learn more skills as u play through the game.But the main point is that the Kill,Kill,Kill strategy becomes so very repetitive.Its a must buy for a fan of the maxpayne franchise,but is low level mediocre TPS for the pc.There is one single button for the tequila mode and a button for tequila time(slow-mo).Using these buttons together with the movement keys allows players to do different action moves like sliding on a trolley,or running on the rails,maxpanye style jump and u can even jump off the walls just like it was in prince of Persia WW.

wow, i really doubt this is the MINIMUM requirements, no games has ever reched the 2gb minimum required ram, maybe this is the optimal performance requirements, and besides dude 15gig is outrageous, they will have a failure in sales of pc, mostly they wil get xbox360 and ps3 sales

Just finished the demo, the game borrows heavily from Max Payne series.The game graphics are great, voice acting is superb.
PC having 1.5 gb ram, dual core processor, nvidia 8500,8600 series cards can run this game easily.

There are three moves one can unlock playing the demo thrice at the same start at normal difficulty.

I forgot to add but at maximum destruction its slowing down my pc ie. when i get in barrage mode and destroy everything with the shotgun.

This isn't a good game.if u think max payne fans will love it u r wrong.gameplay is poor,so r the graphics and yet u require 15gb of space and a premium hardware to run this..forget it.wait for a decent game rather than spending on this.
