I'm quite looking forward to this, haven't been keeping an eye on the game whatsoever so it could be a pleasant suprise. I'll be downloading shortly

I'm looking forward to this one, after watching the talk-through video a few weeks back. This could be a sleeper hit.
I wish I could login to xboxlive and make my 360 Wake-on-lan to download it :|

I really like this. If multiplayer holds up it could be tremendous.

The demo is singleplayer then?

Bah! If only I had internet to download it. I am looking forward to this one.

**Parm** · 18-01-2007, 12:04 PM

Tom, it's a multiplayer demo mate.

I haven't played multiplayer at all.

I just had a quick go on the demo with 7 other people and it's actually rather fun! The downside at the moment is that nobody has a clue whats going on!

There's a whole lot happening at once and it can be difficult to get to grips with it all, my team had a general idea but we weren't entirely sure what the objective was. With a bit of time, a bit of planning and some tactics, this could be loads of fun.

I have absolutely no idea how you play this :S

Went into a game and was just staring at a dock, and nothing i did seemed to do anything

Tom Scott · 18-01-2007, 01:19 PM

If you download the talk-through video they released a month or two ago it explains a lot of it!

I know exactly how you feel! I had the exact same thing when I first started, was looking around thinking errrr, ooook....

Fortunately for me, I had a very helpful chap on my team who was talking me through the basics. Managed to launch a few planes, fly them and consequently, crash them.

Yeah I played a second game and got the hang of it a bit better, managed to successfully dive bomb and torpedo "bomb" a ship

I lost, and didn't sink anything, but I had a lot of fun, gonna try it out some more later.

Hope this doesn't become a sleeper hit, since a popular game means a lot of people to play with online. I only really took any interest in it 'cos of this thread. I heard of it, but the Midway in the name made me think it as a crappy Midway arcade racer for some reason

EDIT: Downloading those videos now, should help a bit

Main gripe with this game is the controls are far from intuitive, should really put control help on the UI with the option to turn it off once you get to know it.

Tom Scott · 19-01-2007, 08:15 AM

Loving this game after trying it last night, get used to the controls and its awesome.... When is it out

**Steven W** · 19-01-2007, 09:02 AM

You have to play the training. It will all become clear if you get the full game. The tutorials are excellent.
