    if you are still interested, there is a streaming version in xboxyde. If you like you
    can go with the full resolution version:

    There seems to be a lot of emphasis on physics, and the graphics are there. Sometimes it looks like an HAVOC's tech demo. I guess it is interesting enought to at least download the good version of the movie, it is starting to look funny.

    Dunno "lots of emphasis", at no time do we really see a particulary large amount of objects being tossed about. It's more like it's used here and there for effect, from what I can tell, and apart from the witch's telekinesis attacks it looks a little gimmicky at times.

    I don't care about gimmicky. I care about fun and this looks like it may have lots of it. Some gimmicks are fun to have.

    Yep, looks like fun to me, I consider it worth a rent anyway if they do bring it over.

    This weeks 1UP video episode (s3xe8) had a very negative preview on the Japanese version of Bullet Witch. Here are some quotes:

    "It's kinda like controling a 300 pound robot. I mean its like really difficult to move and aim at the same time. The controls are really touchy, it always feels awkward and the frame rate will start to stutter."

    "There's times when the character models look pretty good, but then pretty much everything else about the game is completly bland. Like the colors are really weird the lighting is off the animation is still really really bad."

    "Dumbest AI I have ever seen"

    But the previewer himself did admit that just maybe for the US release of the game they could sort some of these issues out, especially the control related issues and the framerate issues.

    The clipping was quite horrible in the video. The bi...witch ran through some boxes like they weren't there and her hair went through her shoulders horribly.
    Doesn't look very polished technically at least. The gameplay looks to be uninspired too.
    I strongly doubt they'd bother fixing the game much for US release, as it's not exactly a "big name" game to start with.

    From the reports and the looks of it, a game to rent maybe but not something I could see myself investing €60.
    Then again, the "Dead Rising" looked and sounded like a mediocre game at best based on first reports and pre-launch pr, and now it's one of the games I'd like to own if only I had an xbos360.

    OT Post alert:

    Highly advisable for you to get a forwarding address and start to use that ASAP as your primary email address. This way you can change your ISP at will and get your email (Just update the forward to the ISP of the week's email). I know its a big pain to change your email..
