These were taken from what I believe to be a Czech site.
To my knowledge these haven't been posted yet. I have to say the game looks rather... generic. I'm still on the fence in regards to the movie, being a fan of the graphic novel and seeing how other adaptations of Alan Moore's works have gone, I'm not going to get too excited yet.
This seems to be the only screen of actual gameplay. I'm curious as to how the rage/power meters work.
I'm really not sure what more to say about it. I guess I'm hoping to see some more videos that prove to me this isn't just going to be a generic beat-em-up with the Watchmen characters thrown in.

What's wrong with downloadable games?
@ Video Cognito
This is a prequel so perhaps Night Owl was a lot more fit during the super hero days than he was in the graphic novel? I mean, the guy can clearly fight so there's no reason why he shouldn't be fit.
@ Everyone else: The game isn't trying to adapt the comics or movie, it's a prequel set back when Rorschach and Night Owl were in their crime-fighting prime. The story is being written by Len Wein (editor of the original comics, co-creator of Swamp Thing and Wolverine) and cutscenes are co-directed by Dave Gibbons (artist for Watchmen).
The people who have actually previewed this title seem very enthusiastic about its potential. Piss all over it if you want. :) I have a feeling that just like the movie, once it comes out a lot of people are going to be happy with the end result.
I just don't know how to make a game of that story. When you look back at the graphic novel the action that takes place is so few and fair between it seems pointless to flesh it out into a game, and multiples ones at that.
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Jesus, I had no idea. Now I'm kinda excited. Perhaps the crowd's reaction was a bit presumptive...
Even if it's a minigame....
Watchmen = Game? My question for you is "How?"
