I have not seen the demo, so have no idea what they have you do, or what weapons you can use.

In the game, things don`t get rolling till about half way through the first mission, and you don`t get access to the heavy duty weapons for the first third of the game.

Actually there are a number of "puzzles ala Half Life " to contend with and the player
can override the suit`s choice action anytime they want,however this usually
leading to a tragic and gory end.
A run and timed jump is required in many places, problem is that this sorry-ass can hardly jump over a piece of toast, and runs like your granny, so he needs a little help.

To counter the Beta suit`s advantage the player is ALWAYS heavily out numbered by baddies who can see for about a mile. The AI is set up so that if the player tries to hunker down he will be flanked and surrounded in a heartbeat, thus taking fire from four or five directions at once, ouch!

Mojo has the story pretty much nailed, although if you need a strong storyline
this may not be the game for you.

Since i rented the game, only had 5 days to finish it, played it at the lowest of three difficulty levels and it was fairly easy. This said, i think that at the higher levels one will be reloading a boatload of times.

The game has auto-save points but you can save at any time too, do it often as it makes life in the parallel time stream so much easier.
