fun game...seriously...lotsa potential...i like the tourny system and the 2v2 action of the demo. visually a stunning game and the player models and animation are dynamite.
the only drawback is the "sluggish" feeling of the game (i thought i was walking, but nope...i was supposedly running). p&g said he doesn't think it's usually that way...but i think they will iron out the kinks by the games release.
the cool thing is that you can employ a bit of strategy and anticipation in your matches. you have to have good reflexes too...becuase if the platforms get knocked out, by an opponents disc, from under you...you have to jump to an adjacent landing. it was neat to have four unique yet similar arenas to play in during a tourney cycle. me and my partner, laokin, were the red team and we did pretty well...but the orange team w/ p&g and user187 were too tough...^_^.
anyways, here's how things stand w/ me: hl2 is a must buy for me...if i can only buy one pc game this year, that's the one...no doubt. but tron2.0 and doomIII are fighting to be my second purchase. i may just get tron and wait until next year to check out doomIII since i'm sure it will still have a following and will only go down in price.
anyways, check out tron2.0...it's not merely the ricochet ripoff i thought it would be...there's definantly similarities but it's different enough. however, if you can play ricochet, you will certaintly have a heads up here...beautiful game.
