Nice article, but I give it a 7.0
Graphics: Nice, but I don't spend my time looking at them, I play the game. Everything is on low except a few things (like physics otherise I might as well play farc cry), and I run 1680x1050.
Sound: This was actually very good, made the game more immersive.
Gameplay: Adequate, though it wasn't exceptional.
Ending: Arcady and boring, they used a background picture just before the credits instead of a properly rendered scene?! You say a cheesy line and then it ends. Ho hom, worst ending of any game this year (and probably last).
Physics: This is where I disagree with the article.
"Everything in the world reacts the way you'd expect to the point where you stop thinking like a gamer and start thinking like a person again."
Well when I throw a grenade at a tree, I expect it to shatter, not fall for a bit, freeze in the air and then fall a bit more. I also don't expect an entire building to fall down when I throw a barrel at it. I'm not sure if the full version is affected, but in the demo, the nukes did less damage to the environment than grenades
Also, I found that several aliens simply froze mid-air one I killed them, and a tree branch froze above my head when I threw it.
On the aircraft carrier I often fell through decks and even right through the ship to the ocean. The final level was by far the buggiest in the game, and one of the most poorly debugged maps I've seen in any game.
