  Freaky.  I just finished the single player demo of the game.  It was shorter than I expected, I stopped playing last night because it kinda freaked me out so I was determined to finish it tonight.  I ended up playing for 5 minutes and the demo was over but it was a scary 5 minutes.

  
  

  The game have some pretty cool elements to it, basically you’re a soldier with ultra high refelxes.  With your skill you can move faster than anyone, kinda like what Neo does except you can’t stop bullets.  Some of you might compare it to the bullet time in Max Payne.  You can only use it for a little bit then when you stop using it, it recharges itself.

  
  

  The weapons are pretty standard, you have hand gun, shotgun, variety of assault rifles, a railgun-ish weapon.  Probably more in the full version, but you can only carry up to 3 at a time.  Grenades, mines, melee, etc.

  
  

  The game have realistic physics and it’s weird how the dead bodies twitch, maybe it’s suppose to be like that.  The lighting and shadowing looks great, it can get a little dark at some places but it wasn’t like Doom 3 pitch black.  You also have a helmet light that’s limited, when it runs out of juice you turn it off to let it recharge.

  
  

  I’m looking forward to the rest of the game and also the multiplayer.  I didn’t get a chance to participate in the beta but I hope those who did help make the game better.
