Its not the graphics its the story that counts!

What Ive seen from this it looks good, mite I point folks attention to this lil sound byte from the site, "from the makers of Hitman 2"

Of course I'd rather see a demo

The game had promise but then they fucked it up and turned it into a cartoony arcade shooter rather then cerbral PC action strat game.

We don't know that for sure. They keep mentioning a "strategy element," which unfortunately sounds more like simple base management than something a la X-Com. From the videos, it seems a lot more tactical than just some corny shooter. I wasn't expecting Rainbow Six, and I don't think anyone else was, either.

There hasn't been a lot of media surrounding the game, and a good deal of info hasn't been posted on the site. Right now there's no telling which direction it's learning towards.

Hm... I hope you'll be able to play only as a commie... then this would be my kind of game.

Which would explain his turmoil, considering the two are pretty much mutually exclusive.

As for the producers of Red Dawn suing the makers of the game...I kind of doubt it. John Milius has gotten way too fat -- he and Lucas trade chocolate chip cookie recipes if the rumors are true -- to be bothered with getting out of his massively reinforced office chair and waddling/slithering into a court.
