Telefragged Daikatana Demo Review -- 12:00 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Telefragged has slapped up a review of the Daikatana demo. This review is far more generous than Evil Avatar's was, but the author still has his justifiable complaints. Here's a smidge:

When you start off in the demo, you're in a swap/marsh area running around trying to find a way into a fortress. The level takes place in the future. How do I know? Well, there are mechanical animals that attack you. Apparently, in the future, people will create mechanical animals that attack people on sight. They won't even be big animals. They'll be little mosquitos (that oddly sound like the flies from Quake II) and little poisonous frogs. The fact that you have to fight stupid, annoying animals (that don't even scare you, like the headcrabs in Half-Life) made me hate the game right from the start. In the other levels, there aren't annoying little monsters like the frogs or mosquitos except a spider here or there. I'll be pretty mad if in the retail version, you're forced to fight crappy little monsters 90% of the time.

I made it through the first level (haven't had much of a chance to play today). Let's just say I was VERY eager for that level to be over. Thanks VoodooExtreme.
