No demo for PS3? Again, we get the short end of the stick...

Get a friend, rent it, play through it, and don't feel bad about never going back to it.

I would kind of like to witness what Tycho deems 'a drama about the smoldering lust between two men'. In a military shooter.

It was better than I thought it would be but I thought it was going to be terrible. The first hour was definitely very rough. It got better after that. I played it co-op and would suggest not playing it any other way.

This completely sums it up in my book. I rented it and to me it feels like a shitty version of Gears of War.

This game sucks. It's one of two games that I've ever traded back to EB in my life. The mechanics are an utter shocking mess. Completely terrible.

So you get 1/3 of the game just in the demo? Wauw. The game is surpricingly short and if you have to play it, do it with a friend in coop.

The game is definetely fun. It's not the best in any category, but I personally don't think it's as mediocore as people tend to describe it. Sure, it's short, but the these days most games are. I thought the SP was actually quite manageable.

Aside from the upcoming demo, there's also two new campaigns (well, missions I assume, but campaign makes it sound longer) as DLC.

I liked this game a lot, and I'm a bit surprised that I've had more fun with this than most other games I've played the last year or so, even though it is kinda rough around the edges. Co-op with a fried is a must.

So they're admitting that the game's a joke? Is that why they chose that date?

No cross-region compatibility, it must be.

Cross-region compatibility isn't that easy. For instance, it took the Sony first party game Resistance over 6 months to be playable online by all regions with each other.

Is that a joke? AoT is the only game on Xbox Live that isn't cross-region compatible. Their P2P excuse is laughable at best. They could've used the existing system. I mean, the game's based around co-op. Would cross-region compatibility really be too much to expect.

EDIT: Not only is Resistance one of the first online PS3 games, it also supports more than 4 players, AoT doesn't.
