Decent graphics, great animation and the hand-to-hand combat is awesome fun - reminds me of Oni a little.

But what's with the controls?!? It feels like yet another crappy console port (is it? can someone confirm that?) - it would work so well if they just made the view/movement more like Oni or Jedi Outcast.

And the main menu is a classic example of how NOT to do a menu. First of all there's no mouse use - you're navigating with arrow keys. Secondly you have to wait for an elaborate and completely redundant change in the background scene every time you move to a different sub-menu. Pissed me off.

Inventory management needs a major overhaul - takes forever to simply put my whip away and take out my pistol.

Final score for demo is 5 out of 10: Shows potential but falls short of 'worth buying' status.
