Fall of Liberty Demo on Liveby Matt Gibbs
A demo of Codemasters upcoming shooter, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, is now available to download from the Xbox Live Marketplace. It is 1.24 GB in size.
Fall of Liberty changes reality by twisting one historical fact: In 1931, Winston Churchill was hit by a taxi on 5th Avenue in New York. In reality, he survived the accident but walked with a cane for the rest of his life. But what might have followed if Winston Churchill had been killed in the accident? Without his voice to lead a country to war, the events of WWII change dramatically; the Normandy invasion never happens and the UK and all of Europe come under Nazi rule by 1945.
Building on the successful conquest of Europe, Nazi intelligence develops superior weapons and vehicles so that on December 7, 1951 they are able to launch an all out surprise attack on America – beginning with a mass invasion of New York.
Unprepared, the invasion stuns America and plunges much of the country into fearsome Nazi occupation. In Washington, the Swastika flies from The White House, and in a show of force to end rebellion, a nuclear attack on Manhattan is being planned. The odds are overwhelming, the reality of the situation shocking, but for players, it’s time to join the resistance and fight a guerrilla war in the newly occupied territories.

BuckRogers007, that's not entirely true about demos not differing much from the retail product. Sometimes they differ greatly, other times not at all. It all depends on when in the game's development cycle the demo was made. Some demos are not made until after the final build, while others are made very early on in the cycle. Either way, I was not impressed with this demo and most likely won't buy the game, but there is a chance that this demo was made early on and some (or all) of the problems could be fixed by release. Of course, there's also a chance that it wasn't made early on and this game just blows. |

I felt the same way ElderScroller. I had high hopes but low expectations. So pretty disappointing. Im pretty sure the game is not going to change much by the time it releases if they felt the game was close enough to finished to release a demo. Demo's dont really differ to much from final prodoct as it is, but the final product for this game would need a complete overhaul to make it to my 'to buy' list. |

All the advertisements for the game make it look HOT, the cut scenes look really promising. Sadly the DEMO is TRASH, The movements and aiming controlls are GARBAGE, very bulky feeling and borderline unusable. The German troops look like stay-puffed marshmallow men trying to bounce along as they run behind cover and then peek out at you. the weapon look Generic and sad, Overall the feel of the demo is of a VERY VERY early demo... Hopefully it will bear no resemblance to the finished product but i have a feeling that this game is a lost cause because they actually put up this demo on Live as if it would excite people about the game in some way...which is doesn't. |

The atmosphere in this demo seemed pretty good as were the graphics. The only thing that bothers me was that the targeting seemed pretty off ( or I suck terribly lol) |

Wow, not really impressed with this demo. It is just a demo, but I don't think this game is going to be on my to-buy list. |
