You lie, Codemasters. This is no successor to BLACK. And as an FPS on its own, it doesn't seem to have much going for it.

--Shooters on PlayStation consoles should never use R2 as an actual trigger. It's unnatural, in a way. That being said, what idiot decided to put grenades on the R1 button?
--A few too many icons and stuff on-screen at once. BLACK had the health bar and ammo counter, and that was it.
--Subtitles?
--There should be options to change the control scheme, even if it's a demo.
--Players should be able to MOVE while aiming down sights; otherwise, you're a sitting duck.
--Where the hell is Sergeant Keller?
--It's not really clear when you're about to die. There's a bit of red on-screen, but it doesn't really indicate "Hey, you're on the brink of death."
--Regenerative health is getting old. Health packs plz.

I know I can't judge an entire game based on a demo, but if the demo doesn't get me interested in the game in the first place, then what's the point?

If you're into the usual next-gen FPS games, then this is right up your alley, I guess. I'll save my $60 for something better.

A HD re-release of BLACK would be nice.
