    Looks a bit... boring, tbh. Hope the finished game is more interesting - been looking forward to it for a while.

    Unless you own a Wii.

    Sort it out, Nintendo! I'm not buying a single VC game until you do!

    Yeah - I reckon they'll get round to it. That and hopefully using the Wii to download and send demos to your DS :-) That'd be pretty cool.

    That would be very cool indeed but presumably they would only exist on your DS until you turned it off, like playing a game against another DS owner in 'download' mode?

    It would be. The DS probably has enough oomph to run demos of actual Wii games, too. ;)

    Give it a go.

    It would be interesting to see how you deal with the demo.

    PS - Boss at the beach by the health/exercise club has a grenade launcher you can pinch when you deck him - Take it to a supply point you've recaptured and you can get more ammo for it.

    Anybody care to comment on the controls ?

    I'm not one for games with 473 different key combos, especially in the heat of battle, so I'm curious how streamlined or not this is ?

    You beta-kids will have a good handle on this by now - any thoughts ?

    works like an fps with the sticks.
    A is to jump, hold it down to jump higher
    right trigger to fire, left trigger to lock on
    left bumper for reload, right bumper for grenades
    up down on dpad uses zoom (i think).
    X to roundhouse kick
    B to pickup objects
    Y to change weapons

    driving is right trigger to accelerate, left trigger to brake and reverse and one of the face buttons is handbrakes.

    the controls feel fine, takes a bit of getting used to (i kept throwing grenades by accident when i first started). but once you have the hang of it you'll be leaping and kicking and throwing.

    I'm really torn about Crackdown. On the one hand, I love GTA style games and on paper, all the things you can do make it sound great. But on the other hand, I thought the same about Just Cause and that completely failed to grab me at all.

    Hopefully the demo will convice me. Not long to wait now and co-op does look fun...

    Heh. it's because I enjoyed Just Cause that I'm so looking forward to Crackdown. And I didn't particularly rate the JC demo when I played it.

    Ta for that effort - it fits the sort of default setup I'd hope for so I'm hoping to grab the demo tomorrow and make that final conviction to grab it. Somebody got me a £25 HMV voucher for Crimble so even though I'd not buy from there by choice normally it's probably going to go on this !

    Also the idea of almost unlimited co-op gaming ideas ("Race you to the top of that office block" etc) will give it legs too.....

    And Prison Break, don't forget the Prison Break!

    By the way, Heroes, 24, and PB won't be available till tomorrow. BSG was on last night so it's out today.
