Main Thoughts:
This should be quick, but fairly painful. Hopefully the full game adds a LOT to the content, because at this rate, I don't see anyone buying this game. When I first started up the demo, I almost laughed. The menu is bad, but I got excited when I saw the list of controls. Everything in a normal FPS is in the controls: Shoot, Reload, Strafes, Jump, Crouch, you name it, its there. Surprisingly, in the game, you barely use any of them. The point of the game is to shoot hearts that float down from the ceiling with your firecracker to get money. You can also shoot little yellow bubbles for double the money. If your money runs out, the lady dancing on stage leaves. If you can manage to shoot the little things as they fall, and keep your money above zero until the time runs out, the dancer takes off a piece of clothing. If you run out of money, the game is over. They did try to make the game somewhat harder by adding flying drinks. If you get hit by the attacking martini you lose a bit of money, making if harder to get the dancer to strip. Unfortunatly, even on the hardest setting the game is quite easy. Anyone with a basic abilty in Counter Strike or any other FPS will easily make it through the demo in a few minutes. What I found quite sad was, while there are only two human models in the game (your character and the dancer) the developers decided to only skin one. If you walk to the back of the stage, and run out of money, you can see your character is just a pitch black blob. The level consists of about 3 tables, a strip for the dancer, and two hallways. One to the back of the stage, one to an exit door leading nowhere.
