Seems pretty run-of-the-mill, but it is a solid shooter.

I thought it was awesome. Its one of those games that just needed to be done, and the unreal engine really makes it shine, no pun intended.

It's not spectacular gameplay wise...but the graphics were briliant and it was oddly unique being in at a realistic looking gas station.

I want to buy it as soon as it comes out. Man, it was so much fun. I played through it, god knows how many times. I do got to ask though, did u guys see any slowdowns in it? Get that fixed and it was perfect.

The demo looked nice enough, but it was way too short. Whoever designed the demo doesn't understand pacing, because there's no suspense build-up whatsoever. You're dropped in, kill maybe 15 enemies if that and in the OMG-pants-crap moment at the end, I was hoping I'd get to fight the big monster, just to fight something. I think the game will end up being more fun to watch than to play.

I thought it was really impressive, but I'm not sure if I'm going to buy it.  To be honest, all these FPS games are getting kinda old.  I have GOW, why do I need Blacksite?  I have COD2, why do I need COD3.

 

What Xbox360 needs is more action/adventure games like Dead Rising.

I'll get it for sure.  My only complaint is the frame rate.  They really need to fix that, cause it was just horrible.

Fix the framerate, more guns, more aliens, and smarter A.I. could make this an awesome game. The demo was enjoyable being a breakneck fast FPS but the framerate was horrible.

I thought this game was descent. It was not much more than a run of the mill shooter, but with solid graphics and impressive destructible environments (thanks to the UE3), it stood out a little. I didn't care for the squad commands though. It felt tacked on and contributed nothing to the gameplay. But overall, it was a descent game. It was only a demo though, so we'll see how the release pans out.

Too many elements from other games, not original. This is considered standard now.

I thought it was pretty sub-par.  Not even worth a rental IMO.
