A demo of American McGee's latest title Bad Day L.A. has been released, offering the chance to check out some of the GTA-inspired action from the brain of an ex-id Software dude. Download it locally from AusGamers or die trying!

What's the verdict on this one, wondering if it's worth checking out?

tell you in 10..

i just downloaded the dead rising demo for xbox 360 and im downloading the saints row demo, and now this.

gonna be a f***ing awesome day for killing heaps of s***.

Skitza, you think it's Starfarce?

hmmmm Reminds of a comic graphic version of Postal, It's a bit of fun, 6/10

Starforce + free...

Got logic?

I haven't seen anything to indicate it has actual StarForce?

Dont think it had starforce, no starforce loading screen or reboot required to play it.
Game was pretty meh, put people on fire out, dezombify them, heal them, shoot a few guys.

yeah if you look beyond the novility of a plane crashing in l.a tidal waves soaring down the strips and so forth its really a pretty half assed game.

slightly humours and vector shading works well. but i think its more for the 14 year olds.

Comments I've read elsewhere indicate that it ain't all that and apparently American's name is just tacked on as a marketing gimmick.

It's more the other way - American has a bit *too* much control over the project. He's living in China now and outsourcing all of the asset production to sweatshops in the same timezone to get more control in exchange for spending less money. At least he had a creative team at id and EA to beat all his half-assed ideas into something decent before.

What else has he had that was decent? I never tried Alice...

alice is pretty g/f loves but she is abit emo

Oh yeh, forgot about Scrapland. I tend to ignore anything that has someone's name attached to it in the probable even that it sucks though (like "Peter Jackson's King Kong")
