[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos

[fascist]

I had no clue what to do in the game, same for the DOA demo. I just kept pressing the button I knew that worked best. For N3 though I like the orb attack and then pressing X, you cant take out so many enimies at a time.

I am with Fugazi... absolutely no clue what to do except button mash and follow the map, which I think is all there actually was to do... so the Gameplay is an absolute joke... I am sure there is some "correct" way to play it all, so I feel as if I am doing more than button mashing, but I am not interested in learning after playing this. Not at all...

The only positive thing I can say is I was impressed with the amount of action on screen at once, and the fact it without a doubt kept a playable frame rate throughout. But that is truly about it... I would not even rent this game, nevermind buy it.

[fascist]

Although I did find out that you can somehow get a guy onto your (whatever the hell you are holding) and swing him around. I couldnt recreate it though.

[MrStoo]

N3 was a bit poor in my opinion, but it was fun to play with the hit combos, leveling, and weapon upgrades. Not sure if i should buy it or not when it comes out.

[dnast]

If it wasn't for the lack of checkpoints, I would've really enjoyed the demo. It was boring at first, because all I knew was to press X over and over again, but then I started to think about Japanese fighting games and looked for a list of combos in the menu and was pleased to find one. Also, it seems like there are a few other combos that aren't listed; I could be wrong, though.

I probably couldn't play a full game of this - especially without checkpoints - but I'll probably play the demo every now and then.

I dont think I have a choice :| . I should have a review the day I get it in the mail from gamefly.

ok lets clear things up.. :)

this demo it's just a translation of a quite old demo used as a tech preview of the game. the final version AKA retail plays a lot better than what you played on the demo.

now, the game was made by the same guys that created KUF and what a game was that! :yes:

gameplay is about the same, you just go around buttom smashing but before you get to that you'll have to pick your troops unless the mission requires you to go with certaing kind of troops. it's a mix of RPG and RTS.

back on the demo gameplay... :p

look for the chests you'll find around on the map and make sure you pick EVERYTHING the bad guys drops.

some of those things will restore your health and others are "accessories" you can equip to increase certain stats. if you equip the "clover" you'll get a 20% + chance you defeted enemy will drop something.

there are like 2 additional spears you can get on this demo, make sure you get them all. :happy:

to equip something press "back" to bring up the "status screen, you'll see some addional slots where you can equip anything you find on the map; the clover thing is one of the first you'll get, make sure you equip it once you get it to increase your chances to get "health potions" and so on. :)

always pay atention to the markers on your mini-map, the big red dot is where you're supposed to go first but dont do that or you'll get your butt kicked. go and explore all the map and kill all the bad guys, if you happen to come across a group of wizards kill them FIRST they're nasty lil buggers... :angry:

also, make sure you destroy the watch towers, on top of that you'll find archers that will wipe out your troops if you don't take care of them. you'll notice that everytime you hit the tower nothing happen, this is a known issue but you just keep on hiting it and it will come down in no time.

save your special moves for big groups of enemies, dont waste them killing just a few guys. if you do so you'll increase your level about 2 or 3 times during the demo... :)

let me know if you additional questions about this demo. :happy: :yes:

[Dirk]

I am still buying the game. I thought the demo was fun.

[Lingwo]

I thought the demo was fun but it has no checkpoint system so when i died on this huge troll thing, i had to restart the entire level.

How do you beat the trolls near the end? I died there! And is there any checkpoints in the final version of the game?

[magik]

Yea, maybe the lack of checkpoints is only because it's a demo?

[Spartan_X]

How do you beat the trolls near the end? I died there! And is there any checkpoints in the final version of the game?

The final version has several checkpoints per mission. Thing is that this game has some serious coding going on to keep up with all that?s going on at once and maybe they just removed the checkpoints from the demo to fix something else that was more annoying than no having checkpoints.

And as I said before... just save the blue gauge for big groups of bad guys and the trolls, once you reach the final screen is way too easy to fill it out and get some nasty 1500+ combo? Also make sure your troops are ok and they?ll help you to get rid of the remaining ene:happy:h:yes: :yes:

[fascist]

I managed to do it pretty easily after about 3 times and knowing what does what. There are certain combos you get throughout the level. One is X,X,Y. Another Y,Y,X. There are more but I forgot. The combos are pretty useful but make you more vulnerable to damage than say mashing the X button.

Any ideas when Dead Rising demo will be out? I know the game is set for release some time in August, right?

That looks like a cool and unique game. Nice to see something different from the same'old same'old sports, FPS, and racing games for the xbox 360... god damn there are a lot of crappy games for the xbox 360. Sorry, but I've rented just about every game I can get ahold of and so far the only game I've found to be purchase worthy is (was) Dead or Alive 4.

Well, thats not fair. Quake 4 and Oblivion I'm sure are excellent xbox 360 games. I already have them both for PC though :p.

There will most likely not be a Dead Rising demo coming out. :(

[mail]

In NN my troops just stopped following me so me and this other guy had to take on the goblins by ourselves ... i tried to make them fight but they just stood there. I spent like 45 mins just reaching the girl in the red dress ... then kicked some more butt and died ... pressed continue ... start of the mission ... switch off xbox.

[NeoTrunks]

The first time, I made it to the Troll (ogre?) boss. He whipped me good. Second time, I got killed by a group of goblins near the beginning. Third time, after figuring out the combos and realizing that this game is not just a button masher, I aced it all. Pretty sweet game. I'm definitely picking it up when it's released in the States.

[Pc_Madness]

Street Fighter 2 goodness :yay:

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Also Saints Row Demo is on the Marketplace now, as I am sure many of you already know.

[Lingwo]

Been playing it alot.

To get around the demo barriers, park you car along side the barrier about a door lengths away from the red barrier and double tap Y :)

You can also get an AK-47 if you jump the barriers.

[Matrix XII]

It took me way too long to dl saints row, I hope it's not on my end :(

[Inertia]

saints row is fun, its one of the better GTA clones.

I will get it :-)

[PabUK Veteran]
