Just tried the demo on the XBox -- this game screams for a PC version. It
rocks, big time.

Yeah, getting killed repeatedly on the beachhead is a lot of fun.

Not if you know how to play.

The game screamed for a PC version back when it was on the N64

Yeah, but now they have a TeamFortress-ish class-based MP to boot.

What do you mean "know how to play?" You run the dude along the beachhead.
I've tried running without stopping. I've tried running with the other dudes
getting cover along the way. Even though I am behind a big steel beam, I
still get shot in the noggin. I've tried many ways and haven't been able to
make it, so IMHO, if there is some stupid "trick" to it then forget it. I
hate games that you have to execute things so perfectly to get it to work. I
know I'm not alone in this as there have been a lot of other people a little
peeved as well. It looked like it would be a cool game, but after the demo,
I'm not wasting my money.

I played the N64 version on my PC

And indeed, it is one of the best platformer I ever played.

Yes, N64 Conker was really cool. But it seems all coming RARE releases
will be some online garbage. No thanks...

You're supposed to wind through the barbed wire, and keep running. Don't get
too close to the machine gun emplacements. I got thru after 3 tries.

No, they're remaking the N64 game for the XBox. Since I never had a
N64, I'm looking forward to it.

Maybe we'll see one, since IIRC it's a Microsoft (Rare) games and they do
release quite a few PC games.

Like the previous poster said, I do not enjoy games that require a hidden
method. At no time could I find a way to crawl through the barbed wire and
frankly I lost interest and went back to the Psychonauts demo.
