XBL demos chat

[DaveMan-CI]

This is the place to come and talk about the new demos that get released on Xbox Live. Can be normal games or arcade, but get in your opinions here.

DragonBall Z Burst limit is the game I'm going to start things off with.

I can't say I know about DBZ or have ever played the previous games or watched the TV show, but the new game is actually pretty well done in my opinion. I don't think I would buy it personally but the cell shaded style and the fighting mechanics seem pretty well done. I can see it being a pretty fun game to play, although the cheese factor in the cutscenes and voice acting is at an alround high, and the menu system seems a little weird to me. But it was worth afew rounds and I might pick up a copy sometime later on in the year if I see it going cheap second hand or something.

Your thoughts?

They were trying to make it sound like it would revolutionize the series, yet all I see is a rehash of previous games with better cell shading. I don't know, after the first few Budaki's I got bored.

On the other hand, Bourne Conspiracy seems like a pretty decent title :)

I've just started the download of BC now, I'll report my thoughts later.

the DBZ demo was crap played it was disappointed and deleted it.

assault heroes 2 was a good demo try it out, if you liked the first one.

The DBZ games have always been really fun and it's nice to see that they're still keeping it up. Unfortunately, it just seems like the same thing as before which might be bad for some people but I like it. The demo was good but disappointingly short.

I won't be buying it first hand but I'll get it when it's in bargain bins and stuff. Because it will be.

Wow, I really wasn't expecting Bourne to be that good, but I'm glad I'm wrong.

The camera angle and the combat system seems really well done, and it gives me a feel of a really dynamic gaming experience. The gun controls are a bit weak though, but the fighting system more than makes up for that. Nice little demo right there.

I was surprised. I was expecting a horrible rehash of the movie just to dry up all the cash they can.

Yeah, gun pissed me off a bit, but really you can go through it without using the gun at all. I guess the fact I'm a huge Shenmue fan makes me love the style of gameplay it exhibits. Like you said, glad we were wrong about it :P

Onto GRID. Horrible racing game if you ask me. The interface (like DiRT) is amazing, however the on street graphics and mechanics take out the charm off road racing had, making it a very sober and dull experience overall.

I would agree that this game is indeed a failure. It just seems a litte bit to easy if you know what I mean. Like the going round fast corners at insane speeds and you just go round no hassle.

I can see from the menu system down to the camera views that you can chose from they are coasting along in a DIRT template but haven't grasped what made DIRT so good. DIRT is 10 times the game this is.

Only thing that I liked and thought was quite well done when playing this Demo was the motion blurring when going round corners, I thought that looked pretty good.

The Bourne Conspiracy was pretty fun, though I got stuck on the 1st level when I had to fight that officer.

And in the 2nd level, I enjoyed watching soldiers getting hit by the train.

3rd level was... meh. Short and you don't do much.

New demo out, Kung Fu Panda.

I thought the game fightings system was pretty fun, but the general game play is a bit to simple for my liking, but a fun demo to play, but I won't be buying it anytime soon.

Well, I recently decided to download some demos which have replayability...

So I've downloaded Virtua Tennis 3 and DBZ

What can I say? They both have replay value, and everytime I play DBZ I find something new to do in it, but they're both too easy...
