Riddick, Wanted, Wheelman Demos

Well, just played the demos for Riddick, Wanted and Wheelman and here are some impressions.


Riddick:  Man, I really, really want to like this game.  I missed it the first time around but kept hearing how great this game is.  The graphics are great--will be interesting to see what the Butcher bay portion looks like.  And Vin sounds like Vin.  Don't know why, but I like the dude.  The controls seem a bit off to me though--it's like there's too much animation with the melee attacks and the gun play seems generic--but I think the game is supposed to play a bit more stealth than the run-and-gun style I did, so not sure.  Might pick this up when it's $20 or so next year.

Wanted:  Wow, I was actually pretty impressed this this demo.  I like the cover mechanic and the combo system of trying to flank your opponents.  Oddly enough, the demo is limited to an airplane level where you don't get to do the cooler aspects of combat but it fun.  That being said, the gun control seems a bit off--it doesn't  feel that accurate and I felt like I was fighting the reticule to go where I wanted it to.  I was also turned off a bit by the multiple load points, and the games seems a bit cheap.  Wish the demo was a bit more open so you could more of the advanced combat.

Wheelman:  2 Vin games in one day--lucky me!!!  I've been playing a whole bunch of Burnout Paradise so this game is a bit of downgrade in graphics, control and crashes.  There were some interesting portions like the slow mo shooting mechanic but the game feels a bit generic.  Not sold on this one.
