Soooo...

Downloaded it on my 360. Matchmaking is taking forever. Anyone else struggling with it?

Matchmaking takes under 10 seconds and i really enjoyed the game. Swinging around and shooting noobs is very satisfying.

Took me atleast 10 minutes to find a first match, and then after that it was fine.

Also, the game isn't even on shelves. Everyone's a noob, christ.

If it takes ages I just try again....and yellow power ranger is the best

I had a lot of fun with the few rounds I played. I did horribly the first round, but the second round I ended up winning.

I'm still very much looking forward to the game, I can't say for sure if multiplayer will be a huge draw to me but I know I'm going to love the single player.

Its' Out!!!!1 hang on let me go d/l it...

Had no idea this was out, can't wait to see how it is!

Yeah I was surprised when I was told last night because I heard nothing about it before.

Ahhrgg. Im being forced to sit through the credits for prey knowing that theres a demo for this out.

What the fuck is the point of a grappling hook arm if I can't save myself from falling to my death?

Edit: Anyways, the multiplayer is absolute shit. I hope the single player is a lot better than this terrible excuse for a demo.

err, I can't even find a game....I didn't realize it was a mp only demo, would of liked a sp level :\

I'm going to try it this weekend, when Europe gets some free xbox live gold.

Tried to get into a match for 20 minutes, said fuck it and went back to playing VIN DIESEL: WHEELMAN.

Fixed."

if you're waiting that long to find a match just back out and re search...I did and then was getting games instantly to at the most barely a minute search. This game is fun as hell to me...I can tell I'm gonna love Bionic Commando, I mean, they just give you a basic deathmatch game on this, and I think its great. Can't wait to try other modes and mainly the single player.

Meh, it was okay I guess.

But I REALLY got pissed off about the fall deaths, my bionic arm is uselss for falling from buildings :(

But I really want to play the SP anyway.

it is cool

wait, so the demo doesn't offer SP?? WTF.

Fuck this, I want some campaign-mode demo.

downloading now...

"Meh, it was okay I guess.But I REALLY got pissed off about the fall deaths, my bionic arm is uselss for falling from buildings :(But I really want to play the SP anyway."

Matchmaking was incredibly slow this morning.  Got into a single game, and it was extremely laggy.  Not looking so hot...

matchmaking is severely busted

Well, the controls have me looking forward to the actual game, however, the multiplayer isn't really all that great. It's actually a bad thing to me to show off this as the demo as it gives you no real idea about the game at all. Anyhow, like what a month to go till release?

This game just wasn't designed for competitive Multiplayer...  The SP looks good though.

crappy matchmaking.   and I hate multiplayer demos, I'd rather just play at my own pace, but they throw me in the game without even giving me a tutorial.

I don't understand why they chose to make this an MP only demo, you'd think they'd atleast have a swinging tutorial to introduce you to the controls before you jump into MP.

Anyway, i played a few matches and the shooting seems very basic but i enjoyed swinging around and zip-kicking enemies.  I can't wait to see how the SP campaign plays.

Downloading right now!

I'm downloading it now too, but won't have much time to play tonight. Tommorow's my last day of school...

I'm a big fan of the multiplayer. Even after being less than enthused with what I've been seeing in videos. The QL posted here made it look a bit more fun but still wasn't convinced.

If the SP can deliver and be more than 5 hours (I'm watching you GRIN) then this may be a buy for me. Right now I think many will be picking up RF:G before this. Anyone else agree?

Well like I said before, I had fun with the demo. I like how the mechanics mesh together in a competitive environment and all I can really hope for is a couple of bigger MP maps to go with CTF. If there are bigger maps, I'm probably going to be playing it for awhile. I think it's a little self defeating to limit maps to a confined space in a game that includes such a unique and fun way to travel about.

The singleplayer still looks amazing and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

From what we've seen in the QL it seems like the SP modes have very wide open spaces. I'd have to think that the MP maps would mimic the SP boards in that way.

Also, I think I know the reason why you can't zip and attach to the sides of the map. Think about it. If you could kill a guy and run off the side and hide until others approached and rinse/repeat, it's be about as bad as spawn camping.

I think it sucks.

Give my a giant practice arena for me to test out the control scheme, don't just drop me into a multiplayer match. I'm not sure exactly what they were thinking. I liked what I saw, but I didn't have much room for any experimentation or a good time to get accustomed to the game.  

smooth and fast and fun... can't expect more

I found the demo to be pretty damn terrible. With a game that has slightly complicated (and newish) controls, I would much rather be given the option to play SP so that I can get accustomed to the control system, rather than be forced to play MP only (or at least some kind of tutorial). I just wanted to get used to the swing mechanic(etc), but it's not so easy to do this when you have a bunch of people constantly shooting/killing you. I was also surprised at how bad the game looked in MP...I know games look worse in MP in order to run better, but I was still a bit surprised at how bad it looked. I'm not saying it looked awful, but it wasn't as pretty as I expected, especially compared to what I've seen from the SP.

This demo has made me lose all interest in playing this game right now and it really makes me question if Capcom knows what they're doing with their demos. RE5, SSF2THDR, MvC2, and BC...these are all some of the worst demos I've played in recent memory and I don't know why Capcom keeps releasing these awful demos.

"Matchmaking takes under 10 seconds and i really enjoyed the game. Swinging around and shooting noobs is very satisfying."

Matchamking sometimes gets a game within seconds soemtimes it never does and I need to back out onto the main menu but sicne my first game, I think its a pretty enjoyable experience. Even when I do get torn to shreds by the machine gun or this wicked long range shotgun thing, just running around swinging and even firing with just the pistol doing all this is still fun.

I feel sorry for all you people who can't come to grips with the controls while you're being shot at, because once you do, this game is a lot of fun.  Yes, matchmaking sucks right now, and they darn well better fix it for the full version.  And yes, the gameplay is ridiculously short (five minutes) and limited (no friend invites), but the gameplay itself is quite good.

This isn't the best looking video of the game, but it really gives you a good idea of how cool the gameplay is when you know your stuff a bit:

demo sucks

I had a lot of fun with the demo, I plan on getting this game when it is released.

Hmmm...
Other than some crappy matchmaking at first, I think the multiplayer is actually fun. The controls felt pretty good to me. I only fell to my death once out of the three rounds I played, so I don't get what some people are crying about.

"Give my a giant practice arena for me to test out the control scheme, don't just drop me into a multiplayer match. I'm not sure exactly what they were thinking. I liked what I saw, but I didn't have much room for any experimentation or a good time to get accustomed to the game.   "

I thought it was kinda dumb. I agree a single player demo with tutorial would've been better.

 It makes you wonder why they release demos like this. I mean, I'm sure this demo is going to turn off way more people than turn on. Capcom will probably lose a lot of sales just from this bad demo.

I had fun with it.  Takes only a few mins to start a match.  Just press B and go back to the title screen and try again if it takes too long.  That seems to work for me.

I like how all the people who suck at the multiplayer are saying it's "shit" and "unnecessary."

I love the battle music in there. Really gives me that "I'm doing something awesome" feeling all the time.

You have to learn how to string together swings, at that point I was having a great time. Before I wasn't timing it correctly and running around the map on foot was much less fun. I do think they should have released a SP demo first though.
