...got it working. Reading the main site, it looks like certain systems/configurations have a problem with the resolution and/or refresh rate. I simply set the resolution to 1024x768 (down from 1280x1024) and let Windows set the refresh rate at the usual 60Hz (down from 100Hz) and I was subsequently able to run the demo without it crashing at initial load. Bizarrely, the game proceeded to ignore v-sync and run at a good 100-150+ FPS.
As for the demo itself, pretty much everything has been covered. My main impressions were that it was quite rough, the bob level was insane, both good and bad NPCs are fairly dumb (I lost half of my team going across a bridge; two of them decided to swim under the bridge and drowned while doing so), I never knew where an enemy was until it started blue lasers at me, and the voice acting is quite bad.
All that aside, I would say that it is actually a rather good budget and/or small developer title. My main gripes are over the general gameplay and mechanics. At this point, it is a real chore to just play, not to mention lacking any real fun. I do not wish anything bad for the developers, but the title is way too rough for me to ever consider purchasing. Gameplay wins at the end of the day.
Wondering if the graphics were scaled back or if this is final,
Ray
