The Bodycount Demo was released on the Xbox Live Marketplace today and because I had no clue what it was, I figured why not do a quick look to find out!
First impression would be that it’s a shooter. Duh. But one that combines elements from every FPS released the past few years. It’s a neat concept, but the game doesn’t do that great of a job at explaining things. Also, not being able to move when you look down the iron sights is one of the worst things you could do in a shooter. Why change something that has worked so well this past generation? I get that you want to be unique, but screwing with something that has become second nature to most gamers is not a good idea.
I may give it a rent, but with Deus Ex, Madden and every other major release coming out the following weeks, I really doubt I’m going to have the time.

Not sure wtf i just watched lol
You can move while looking down the sights. You have to pull the left trigger half way down instead of fully (think they need to reverse that imho). Try lookin at the controller configuration 1st next time. With that being said, i still thought the game was stupid and slow. Pass.
I’m gonna try that out, maybe I’ll like the game a little more. But I agree, it wasn’t that good. And certainly not fun enough to play instead of all the good stuff coming out in the coming months.
