It's extremely satisfying to play. I played through 2 levels at Eurogamer. The battles against the huge robots are brilliant. They feel quite sandbox as you can take any position in an open area and battle the enemy your way. The smaller enemies react really well to being hit and break apart bit by bit. Controls are super tight and responsive. The guy working the BD demo section said people from the Vanquish team had worked on it. Not sure how accurate that is, but it did feel quite Vanquish.

Yeah, there were definite echoes of Vanquish although it's slower and you don't feel quite as powerful. But the consequence system looks both heartily silly and genuinely interesting, and I'm confident the story will be more worthwhile than your average squad-based shooter.

The bit where the robot rips his human face off I found genuinely quite troubling - partly because there used to be a comic strip in Roy of the Rovers when I was a kid about a robot footballer and one sequence where his face got melted off to reveal the metal and wires underneath gave me nightmares for about a week.

Who knew Roy of the Rovers had such diverse story lines?! Follow up questions:

1.How did his face get melted off playing football?

2.What ever happened to this bio mechanical sports star?

I think he was on a bus when it crashed and burst into flames. It was called Project 917. I think they stopped it after a year. Can't remember how it ended. They probably switched him off or something.

I've just remembered another Roy of the Rovers issue where half the team were gunned down while on a tour of the Middle East. Man, Roy of the Rovers was DARK sometimes.

I came away from the Eurogamer Expo with this as my favourite game I played :unsure:

Nothing wrong with that. I enjoyed this and Anarchy Reigns more than anything else at GAMEfest (Arkham City might have been in with a shout had I been able to spend more than 5 minutes with it).

The more they've shown of this game the more it's grown on me. I can't comment on how it plays but it looks like a very accomplished third-person shooter, and I say that without a back-handed "for a Japanese developer"; for me personally it seems way more interesting than, say, Gears of War 3.

This is all great to hear.

Yep, I'm really looking forward to it too. The relative dearth of English trailers (or promotion over here at all) is a little worrying, though; if it's as good as it promises to be, it'll be a travesty if nobody buys it because SEGA failed to market the sodding thing.
