Evil Avatar Reviews the Daikatana Demo -- 10:17 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Evil Avatar beat most everyone to the punch with a full review of the Daikatana Demo. To put it mildly, he is not pleased. At all. Here's a snip from the beginning of his review:

"We waited four years for this?"

After a somewhat tumultuous beginning the demo version of Daikatana is finally available and gamers get their first real taste of John Romero's pet project. From their less than humble beginnings with "John Romero Will Make You His Bitch" to the total humiliation of having almost the entire Daikatana team walk out on him, it has been a long hard road.

Sadly, the light at the end of the tunnel turned out to be the headlamp of an oncoming train.

I haven't had an opportunity to play all the way through the demo. I've played the first part of the first level and, to be honest, I really have very little impetus to finish the demo. I'm kind of forcing myself to have fun.

When I downloaded the Soldier of Fortune demo, I wanted to keep playing to see what was coming next. With Daikatana (where the first level is very dark, very green, and you are attack by, um, robot frogs and dragonflys/mosquitos/something) I really don't have that urge. But I will give it a fair shake and probably try to play online before I pass final judgment. Stay tuned.
