I should note that the demo is from the E3 presentation, so don't think it's an entirely new demo. Apparently, only a few persons(like myself, because I'm a valued customer(I buy shit from PSN)) got the demo. Now, if you want to wait to play the demo or don't want spoilers from the story, I suggest you stop reading here.
Or here.
Your decision.
Anyway, the demo starts off in... somewhere in Greece, where hordes of undead are attacking the helpless humans. I don't know why the undead is there, but my conclusion is that they are helping the gods... because they might get to live again? What do I know. Anyway, Kratos leaps into action and begins to kill the undead.
And the citizens... mkay, I thought I was helping them. Maybe I'm doing this the wrong way? Maybe I'm supposed to help the und- WHAT THE STOP HITTING ME. And then everyone around Kratos died because I couldn't opt to help the dead. Phooey. Oh well, onwards to slay whatever I'm slaying!
Yes, this game is all about killing. But you can vary about it! Like... you can press the SQUARE button!... OR THE TRIANGLE... OR THE GRAB BUTTON... OR DO A COMBO BETWEEN THEM...
Ok, so maybe the whole combat system is a tad flawed in the repetitiveness. But it's still a good killing game, so shut it. Anyway, we move on, kill some moar undead until we enter a cavern where a Harpy is flying. Then you get a tutorial on how to shoot things, grab a harpy and use it to fly with. FUN STUFF.
Anyway, we move onwards. Then we get to a plateau, where we see some fire giant trying to climb up. However, he is stopped by HELIOS AND THE POWER OF THE SUN! So, let's go kill stuff and save that red giant! This is also where you meet your first centaur, where he is like, annoying. But eventually you impale him and all is good in the world. Deciding to help him by using a ballista of some sort, you are suddenly ambushed by a CHIMERA!
It's a pretty neat fight, as the Chimera goes through three phases. Eventually, you best it and grab... the siege weapon. I'm not going to lie to you guys; it took me around 10-20 blasts from that thing until I hit Helios. YOU HAVE TO BE PRECISE OR YOU EFFING MISS. Ugh.
Anyway, once you've shot him and giant throws Helios away, you're free to move on! With the help of the harpies, you pass over a very large fall, fight some more bad guys and eventually get to Helios. But then some undead knights appear and block you from getting to Helios, when a Cyclops appear to do battle.
What does Kratos do?
He grabs the Cyclops by the eye and begins to maneuver it, destroying the very defense of the knights! Afterwards, he rips out the eye. Moving to Helios, he rips the frickin guys head off AND THEN USES IT AS A LANTERN. WHAT SANE HUMAN BEING DOES THAT!? Then again, Kratos isn't sane going against the gods and all.
THEN YOU FIND THIS ICARUS VENT AND YOU JUMP INTO IT, FLYING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT UP UP AND UP! GETTING TO THE TOP, KRATOS SEES HOW THE RED GIANT IS TRYING TO ACTUALLY KILL HIM. THERE, HE LEAPS INTO ACTION AND GOES TO ATTACK THE RED GIANT WHEN...
The demo ends.
Yeah, I know. Lame.
Still, pretty fun demo. Kinda makes me interested in the game, but knowing my friend, I'll just borrow it from him.
Anyway, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time is coming out this friday which I will just adore to no end. But I wouldn't have mind having another game in the meanwhile. Eh, I might check out Gamestop for some old game to play. Ah well, thanks for reading.
