I just gave the demo a go, and I really liked it. The graphics supported volumetric shadows and per-pixel lighting, so you just have to get a cool visual experience. The mouse sensitivity seemed really low, but the gameplay in general was fun. It was a bit annoying how you always seemed to have one a few minutes to finish the goal, because you can't really sit down and spend some time considering the escape route etc, but I guess its purpose is to make the experience more hectic.. Thumbs up for this one

Wow, another good demo released. I'll have to try it out after giving Tron a whirl. I loved the movie, is this anything like the movie? I assume it's you trying to break out of the camp.

Correct.. A lot of the cool scenes from the movie are accurately re-done in the game, so if you download the demo you'l see a movie with some comparisons.. Makes me want to watch the movie again

HELP! can't get the demo to run. I press OK and the screen goes black. I press enter and i get back to win.

I should try latest nvidia drivers.

i didn't find this demo particular interesting, though i have been looking forward to it since some years now. (since year 2000 i think). Although i hope full game is better.

MUCH better

The levels will probably be longer, involve more planning, and as you saw in the movie at the beginning there'll be more than just "run, crouch, sneak, and gun."
