From what I've seen/read, sounds like it might be a decent bargain bin title. Haven't tried the demo yet, though.

It looks good graphically. I like the graphic style too. I'm playing it on PS3 right now.. Despite reviews it is fun..

It's got Samuel L Jackson and Ron Pearlman in it. Insta-buy.

I noticed that some of the reviews complained about the camera. The camera in the demo has inverted X-axis, and I didn't see a setting to reverse it. Can it be set in the full game?

There is a setting in the options, but only the main screen. Unfortunately I learned this the hard way and got to sit through the cannot-skip intro twice. Grunt grunt grunt anyone?

That's for the Y-axis, and I couldn't tell the difference between default and inverted. Right on the stick means revolve the camera around Afro to the right, look left.
