The demo for this came out this morning, so gave it a go on the 360 and I have to say that I think it will be a decent game, as long as you dont set your expectations too high. I love the God of War games, so this can give me a nice HD GoW-alike to play with.
In the short demo its very similar to play and control. Its very smooth and there are some great lighting effects - I'm thinking the ranged cross attacks here. Graphically, I dont think the demo showed off too much in terms of what it will bring artistically, but looking forward to seeing the different rings of hell and more varied enemies. Technically though, with lots of enemies onscreen etc, mass scythe swinging and cool lighting effects, there didnt seem to be any slow down, which is great for this type of game.
The upgrade trees seem to be pretty good so cant wait to experiment with it a bit more. Maybe the reason why I'm so hyped about this game is that I dont have access to a PS3, otherwise I might just be like "meh" what with GoW3 coming out, and the HD release (i think) of GoW 1&2. But it could be the start of nice franchise for the 360.
Think that the setting is going to be great and cant wait for the release. Mind you. Non-skippable cut scenes - a big no-no. Tsk Tsk visceral studios
Anyway - anyone else has a go on this? Not really looking for this to be a "Blah Blah Gow rip off, Gow is better" but I can hope cant I?
Thoughts please

so this is all we have. This may have to wait a little seeing as there are tons of games I've preordered or that I'm got on the Steam sale to go through (GTAIV, ME2, AvP) so they will prob get played first, then by that time, there should be sufficient second hand copies hanging about.... Hey, I'm not made of money...
