    I feel like I have mastered the controls and gameplay, so I taught I might give some tips. See what other people have to add to my technique.

    1st and foremost reduce the brightness and contrast 3 notches down (both of them 3 notches each).

    2nd switch the trigger configurations, I think its called switch trigger in the menu screan.

    3rd go through the training. Dont pay too much mind to the wall jump where you have to turn around.

    4th anytime you jump and are expecting to hit the ground, tilt the view only slightly down. Practice rolling and this will make all the difference.

    lastly when approaching a cop count to 2 seconds, real quick like, and on the second second press the y button. I nearly disarmed all the dispatchers. Wicked cool.

    The brightness and contrast tip is very subjective to peoples TV/setup.

    I wouldn't suggest tilting down before executing a roll because you may lose momentum looking back up, particularly if you need to follow up the roll with another move. But hey, if it works for you!

    Most of this is just personal preference.

    But yeah, I only look down a bit to do a roll just so I can see where I am landing. And also, as the demo lets you know - you can slow down time when you are disarming an enemy so you can see the red flash to press the button again.

    What extras? The time trial level? You have to preorder the game to get a code to get that.

    The best demo tip: turn on the leaderboard's best ghosts. Watch what they do and you are guarenteed to find the optimal path to shave time off of your record.

    The only thing I have to remember is that I need to push a button to breakfall. I got used to games doing that for me automatically that I have to retrain my brain.

    I have to agree on changing the control scheme. To me, the left bumper should be the least used button since you're already using your left thumb to do most of the moving around. The default scheme makes it the most commonly used button and leaves your right hand doing very little except waiting for an occasional

    The first time I tried the demo, I really didn't like the controls much, but since, I tried the "shoulder swap" scheme, I've replayed it about 10 times and enjoyed every second.
