Seems like a lot of w@&k to get the hang of it... but it alo means you can interact with the environment in many different ways.  :-X

Cool, spaceboy - where did you get the demo download?

[spaceboy]

Best Buy's pre-order deal came with early access to the demo.  it's avail on the PSN. it'll be avail to everyone 5/21.  Other retailers had other pre-order bonuses as well.

The controls aren't too hard to get a hang of, they did want to pack a lot of possibilities in there.

L1 + Triangle - Megawatt Hammer

This is a new wicked power I just unlocked.  The basic blast is like a shock grenade only it flies in a straight line instead of lobbing it like a grenade.  It also goes much farther.

The extra sweet upgrade to this power is you can shoot a few in the air and then use your regular electrical shock to pinpoint where you want the megawatts to land.  Basically it's like "painting" a target for your missiles to hit.  Incredibly good fun and precise destruction (to spare the hapless citizens).

Wow... that's a cool gadget!   :-X
