It was alright, I guess. I couldn't find the spears (didn't know wtf to look for), but shooting a flying creature with a couple of rounds and watching it fall into the t-rex's mouth, then running around that one little door with a couple of gunshots here and there repeatedly worked well.
Nice effects, but nothing that hasn't been seen (God of War, most notably) before.
Very slick demo. I enjoyed both stages, to tell you the truth. High quality graphics, and blazing framerate even with maxed effects.
The FPS was good standard stuff, but that Kong level was tops. True sense of freedom when I was swinging off braches and running along ivy covered rockfaces. And the combat engine was nice. Loved the use of the mouse wheel for "rage" and special attacks.
I'll purchase when it hits $20.

Very cool looking game... but I had problems controlling Kong to go where I wanted him to go (might play better on a console). I also couldn't figure out how to throw spears....
I don't know. I was looking forward to this game. Still am to an extent, but it's dropped a few notches on my 'list'. Looks sweet. Swinging as Kong was cool, but the gameplay did seem a tad shallow. And I hated the space bar to shoot thing.

wow I can't believe the Ps2 version is going to be better. This is a PS2 port for sure. PS2 version > better controls, graphics etc.
can't wait

I can see the PS2 version matching the visuals(but probably not the framerate), and the controls will surely benefit from dual analog support.
Still, I managed to catch on pretty quick to the PC Interface, and will probably support that version for the lower price.

Check the gamespot vids. There is a Ubisoft dude who used to post here but I haven't seen him in a while (Wyzdom) he also said the PS2 was better.

Ugliest looking game I've seen in a while!
Matlock said:Other than the PS2 dig (which is what you're keying into him for), he's not too far from the truth. Cinematically this game is top notch--and I'll be damned if I didn't go apeshit (rimshot) over the sheer force that Kong's punches exude when fighting the T-Rex...but it's pretty middling overall. If this is indicative of the final product, I can't imagine any publication giving it over a 6 with a clear conscience.
Oh yeah, I hear you. You might be right, I'll have to see in the OPM demo. I can't imagine where all the super positive impressions on gameplay and visuals have come from though, it's a pretty big lead up for such a let down. Wonder what went wrong...
...but I do like BG&E and Rayman, so I'll just have to see.

Holy shit, that thing looks terrible.
Look at Kong's fur :lol

After looking at that, I just uninstalled the demo. Even though I can't play the game thanks to the mouse issue, those shots look really bad.

Probably to prevent people from using the demo as a reference to help crack the final game.
