Project Zero was a bloody fantastic game, uber-scary though.
Are you talking about Perfect Dark Zero?

The demo for this is now out.

I've had a brief play and I'm not actually overly impressed :/ Slightly reconsidering my pre-order in fact

Ouch. I'll give it a go later on I think.

I felt the same way (quelle surprise!) but my daughter loved it and that's good enough for me!

I've cancelled mine now, just not worth the risk when the money's too important to me and when there's so many other games to tempt me. £40 just seems too large a risk.....I might do better to just buy Banjo Kazooie for the N64

I'll give the game another go on me own though I am tempted to put this in the buy next year for £15 pile.

£15 pile was my thinking as well
But it makes sense if your daughter likes it to get it

Edit: I can get the original on the N64 for less than a fiver on ebay, seems worth a go

So... I tried the demo. How I wish it was a traditional platformer, it looks and sounds fantastic, some nice humour too, and while the driving mechanic works well - it's just I don't do driving games, never have done. I do like the creation tool though, I can see that being fun to play around with. Not worth a full purchase though!

Rare are a shadow of their former N64 selves, they've not released anything that compares to stuff like Goldeneye and Banjo Kazooie for years now.

I almost feel bad though, I mean, they're trying something different. As much as I would have loved another platformer, it would just be another platformer, even if it was a very good one

Not 100% sure what I feel about it really, I just know I've never really taken to driving games and ultimately, thats the core gameplay mechanic.
