Yep I've played CDS and it's a pretty decent game on the demo you have to save Foley, find some C4, destroy a bridge and return to landing spot for extraction,
Visuals: are pretty bare but in saying that you start off in the desert and the only thing you see are mountain sides a bridge and other items I don't want to put in any spoilers.
The character animation is really smooth and fluid and they are nicely detailed, when you get shot you get red marks over your nice clean uniform, they have 3 stances, stand up, crouch and lie down
Sound: is pretty good with music that sits well with the environment your in, you hear the enemy talking to himself of singing when you sneak behind him, with the jets flying by and vehicles rolling along all sound real enough
Gameplay: is great when you get into it, when you get your first steath killing and point it all helps, the AI is OK but not brilliant as they kept missing me I haven't been killed out right yet (I'm playing in easy so that doesn't help hehehe) I'd say it's a thinking man shoot 'em up where you find the right place to deploy you men (I only had 2 in the demo) you can control then individually or as a group and there are 15 missions which I'm sure you'd play again in Hard
The only thing I was a bit worried about is that the game sort of jerks when you spin and a bit of slowsdown on a packed screen, I'm not to sure how this is going to work with all 4 screens working together as it's a 4 player game or unless it's a switch from screen to the other
My Rating: 8/10 (demo only)
