Tasked to locate remaining miners, and armed with an assortment of hi-tech weapons and the ability to hack into the stations own automated defenses, your mission is simple: get in, get 'em, and get out.

Might have only got a meta review for 58, but for.. $17.99 or........about £10 I'lll be having a shot after playing the demo

Don't.

I swept it a while ago.

I don't think I managed to complete the 2nd level, it wasn't that it was bad, just that there was something not quite right with it.

Got a dreadful mark in a magazine review, I wouldn't even bother with a sweep after reading it

Can't be THAT bad shirley?

Due to no edit function, the demo currently flooding my internet tubes.

Thread moved for your convenience.

Speaking from past experience, downloading a game just to see how bad others claim it's supposed to be is rarely turns out well. With the possible exception of Boiling Point, which I enjoyed for the short time I played it but the bugs stopped me playing for too long.

I just quite fancy a sci-fi shooter quite frankly, which is why this grabbed my attention. And the ease of use of steam.

If it's bad, it's bad, but then again, I liked Chrome until I got royally stuck on one level.

Was fairly impressed with the demo actually, not a run in and shoot game as you die quickly. Plus there was murdering an Italian.

Sold me on that really.

I tried this before, didn't quite impress me and it doesn't have multiplayer mode.

It fails the taste test badly.

I told you so

Actually I looked at the trailer after this thread and was almost tempted until I saw the driving bits.

you were warned

The demo was semi-promising, I was banking on it being a proper demo build and not just a cut down final build (ie, like Breed). I was wrong, I accept that now.
