Impressed! Gameplay wise certainly a step up from the first. The use of the arms makes it feel like you're quad-wielding at times. With RB+right stick you can direct how you swing the right darkness arm, and with LB pick up objects. It's great the first time you use a cardoor as cover then throw it at a guy, which slices him in half as you unload bullets into another.
Super gory. I miss the old Jackie voice actor, but it's good to hear the darkness actor is still there. What I'm torn between is the art style. To me it still feels like a step back, it's how I felt when watching videos and still do now that I've played it. There was an awesome grittyness to the original which made it feel all that much darker for me personally. Although the gore and profanity is still in excess, I don't feel that same kind of grittyness and seriousness to it. I'm sure many will maybe even prefer it though, just personal taste!
Damn this week's demos. Another insta buy. I'm interested in seeing the story unfold and loved the gameplay. Sad Digital Extremes didn't do what they've done well in the past in their PC days and do a competitive multiplayer but coop should be good fun if some G-P guys pick it up too.
