Ben-DutkaStill on the fence about Vanquish ? Not yet convinced by all the footage we've seen thus far?
Well, that means you'll probably just have to play it, huh? The good news is that Sega has announced the demo, which will be available next week on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace on August 31 in North America. Other regions will be able to grab it during the following days that week. You will be able to choose from two different difficulties (Normal or Hard), and the action will take place during "Velocity Attack." After stepping into the ultra-capable boots of super-trooper Sam, you'll try to make your way to a Russian space station; thankfully, you'll have a good assortment of weapons to try. The demo even includes a boss, so you'll probably need those guns. Anyway, Platinum Games has shown everyone a lot of promising gameplay snippets over the past few months, and much of what we've seen has been impressive. You may or may not like the artistic style of the game but beyond that, the gameplay itself appears to be very, very entertaining.
If you missed out on that gameplay, feel free to watch the videos posted here and here . Yep, same game that Insomniac says "plays like Gears of War on crack."
