no co-op, only 1 class to play and the game looks s***house. Don't bother wasting time downloading it

I tried downloading it this morning but little did I know in the time it took for me walk to and boot up the 360 someone cut the optus cable bringing my iinet action to a crashing halt.

So I had a quick game of this last night, around 30 minutes or so.

I found the gameplay to be ok, and I could see myself getting pretty into the loot gathering and rpg tech tree system.

but, the cutscenes are confusing, i found myself in these flashbacks between gameplay, after a flashback i would come back to reality, fight a little more then upgrade my gear (which changes my model) and then another flashback and the model in the flashback has upgraded his gear too? took me a while to figure out it was actually a flashback.

Also, graphics are very hit and miss. I thought the intro scene with the tree looked great, but most of the models are pretty dang. The environments were ok, but nothing to write home about.

The rotating menu system is pretty great, but its a shame it wasn't incorporated into the rest of the menu system, with the tech trees and gear equipment. the rest of the menus are very bland.

This is probably just a niggling graphic designer thing, but i found the inconsistency with the typefaces to be pretty annoying. On one hand you have the 'Too Human' type which subtley incorprates those nordic style rune forms into a nice modern legible typeface, then you get to the class selection screen and the class names are all in incomprehensible runic type?

As for the actual fighting system, it seemed very, very passive at first. though by the end of the 30 minute session i was getting into some of the more advanced combat techniques. I am going to have another bash at it tonight and i think the combat will grow on me even more.

The demo doesn't leave me blown away visually, but between the combat system and the loot/rpg stuff, i might pick up this game.
