Not sure I am as thrilled as you are about the pixelated gore. Makes me think I still have my crappy Wal Mart 60hz LCD instead of my smooth ass plasma. But yeah, solid gameplay, fun game. Not sure I thought the firefights were drawn out, I ran through that demo in like ten minutes but it was on medium so perhaps that is why. Glad you liked the game, we tend to be on the same page for the most part (ala Deadly Premonition et al.)
I actually really dug the 1st game, so I'm looking forward to this. I think what they did with the characters, narrative, pacing, etc. was really well done. I didn't think the gameplay or controls were as bad as everyone on planet earth seemed to think they were.
I was too lazy to jump through the few hoops to get a demo code :(

"You support this game, huh Jim? I bet you also want Jeff Gerstmann to be fired from Giant Bomb."
Unlike you, I don't despise and disrespect people for having a different opinion to me, so no.

I have my doubts that this game can live up to the original. It's going to be difficult to get Jeff Gerstmann fired now that he's self employed.
Dear Jim Sterling,

I only tried multiplayer and I don't like the aiming/terrible recoil. It's hard as he'll to down an opponent. The camcorder effect is pretty cool but I'd like to see an option to turn it off.

Any thoughts on whether I'd need to play the first to fully appreciate this one? 'Cause I'd love to give this a go, but I never got around to trying the original...

My only beef was it felt like the new style was a bit overbearing and disorienting at parts.
The style is really cool but it definitely got in the way sometimes. And at really important times when you want to really get a grip on what you're doing like when bullets are raining on your head.

I had a really impossible time getting anyone as a human shield - did anyone else manage to do this? It seems like civilians are off-limits (which is odd) and just try running down a bad guy in a firefight... you're dead before you even make it half way.
Any tips?

I'm not Jim, but I'd say give the first a whirl ;) I'm sure it's dirt cheap somewhere, and I'd say throw 'er on easy and play at least the 1st few chapters and see what you think.
JENNY!?

The game is a bore, but the visual style makes me fantasize about Rockstar making another Manhunt game based on the original concept. I miss me some Pigsy. Also, Fragile Alliance caters perfectly to the douchebags that make my Xbox Live experiences unpleasant (you know who you are you racist, sexist, sadistic little fucks!). Maybe they can get their rocks off playing that and stop spawn killing people needlessly in free-roam mode on RDR.
I sure hope they took note of all the things that screwed the first game like the crappy controls and that stupid AI...... and who the hell is Jeff Gerstmann??
Demo was solid as hell, but the visual presentation made me want to vomit.
Not only do I think the visual filter and grainy look crap up the look of the overall game (specifically textures), but it just makes me feel ill. And the shaky camera certainly doesn't help.
Just like the original, even though the A.I. is stupid dumb, the game is still challenging.

I am guessing this one isn't heavily reliant on the plot of the first, but I'd suggest picking it up for cheap anyway, just because the characters are really worth getting to know.

i enjoyed the first game for what it was, and i am totally digging the graphic/artstyle for this one.

i did the cellphone option, you enter it in and it sends back a unique xbl code for the demo (1.50gb or so) - much better than registering

If someone asked me how I would describe this game, I'd say it's like if a third-person shooter was filmed like Cloverfield. The game play is nothing new, and makes Gears of War and Mass Effect 2 look more engaging and diverse. Sometimes it's hard to tell what's going on and the enemy A.I. has instances of being unable to find you.
The multiplayer has a lot of great ideas but some design choices interfere the modes from being great and fair. The Arcade Mode is "Fragile Alliance with bots" but it's not fun when the bots don't try to betray YOU - it goes on and on. There is a "Steadicam" feature to make the camera stay as still - otherwise the parts such as the light and how an explosions sounds are still in tact.
Hopefully the full game will offer more but I'm still buying - it's certainly a unique pop twist to the shooter genre in the way that, I'll say, Crank: High Voltage did for action films.

I can't wait for this. I'm most looking forward to Fragile Alliance again. Hopefully it has the same grainy security camera like in the trialers but here's hoping...
i've played very few games that really 'grab' me the way k&l did. loved the characters, loved the story and especially loved the feeling of being part of a michael mann movie. i'm really excited about this sequel!
All the gameplay problems aside, i had a really good time playing the first one. Felt like it was a well-written Mann script with good voice-acting. All it needed was a little more polish and i guess the second one has that.
The only thing that worries me is that it comes out the same day as Mafia 2. Might effect it's sales. I wouldn't want it to be brushed away like the first one.

still surprised they green lit a sequel. i played through the first one coop the moment i got it, while badly flawed there was enough to have a little fun, but it failed to live up to the massive hype train it rode into town on.
now for a heavenly sword sequel please...

I'm glad they're fixing it because the 1st one story was dopely original but the gameplay sucked giraffe balls, felt like I drilled a hole in my hand with a butter knife. Everything deserves a 2nd chance, so I'll rent Dog Days.
I'm loving the demo right now, except one thing, one little thing that I know bugs the shit out of you Jim, one tiny little addittion that we both agree should be mandatory in P2P online games....
...HOST FUCKING MIGRATION!
WTF?
That shit had better be in the final game, I will avoid buying it until that's confirmed.
