Downloaded and installed the demo, will play it tonight. This thread is too long to read, what's the verdict on the game so far?

I really wanna love this but I can't when I can't play online AT ALL (matching error) and the SP AI is fucking broken
T__T
Jesus, what will happen if the retail game comes out and online doesn't work?
Another 48 hours of "soon"?
You mean some games might not work at launch? Shocking!
Also I wonder if Meat Wagon is overpowered and doing a lot of the work for me (not that I can't kill other Meat Wagon players). The special weapon is key for disrupting enemies from attacking me and getting them from afar. Alt version is useless though.

Its not about not working, its about the length of time it is taking to fix.
Online essentially does not work. It has now been close to 48 hours that it has been broken (I would not be surprised if it is not fixed today). I'm not blaming Jaffe, but if it is taking this long to fix MM, what happens if during retail the servers go down? Going to take a week?
I guess I'm upset because I had 3 days off from work Tuesday and was so hyped to play TM online. Now I'm going back to work tomorrow for 7 days, and of course the demo will be taken offline.
The alt version isn't useless, it does like 50 more damage. Just don't try to use it to chase someone because you'll never catch up to them.
Maybe I'm lucky but the matchmaking error was never a big issue for me. It would come up, I'd click join again 20 seconds later, it would come up again, I'd hit join again, and then it usually worked for me on the 2nd, 3rd try. Sucks if some of you aren't getting in at all. Game is a blaaaast.

Any word on the MP portion of the demo being extended a few days due to all the connection issues?
Am I the only one bothered by the lack of a button to look behind you? While it feels so much cooler to do a quick 180 and then drive backwards, I'd really like a button for rear view.
Yes, it's obvious when someone is chasing you, but how can you expect to hit them with backwards fire if you cannot see behind you?

Don't run it into someone (even though you get a damage bonus). Detonate it remotely and use it as a disruptor for someone trying to make a sacrifice in Nuke (As it has increased knockback with the detonation) or if you see a pile up of two or three cars trying to take each other out (especially ones doing the ol' Christain Sidehug and hammering the machine gun button on each other)
Meat Wagon is a huge target though and Reaper players are going to ruin your day if they have a powered up chainsaw. Ditto Darkside players if you are in range of their ram. And it handles like a wagon (hah) so your gonna suffer in close up duels. Use it as a range car and you should do well with it.
Supposedly the SP AI is supposed to have them all gang up on you.

The controls for reverse...are reversed. It's driving me crazy.
Aah, that sucks. Strangely, something that Twisted MEtal 2 got right that basically no other games since (maybe TM:Black, but none of the Vigilante games, etc), was that AI cars still fought each other, and didn't just hunt you out. It was one of the better aspects of the game, allowing you to play defensively, find a spot and guard it, and let everybody else beat and batter each other... But then, somehow, they lost that mechanic, and it became 8 against 1 in future games... Which is how a lot of games are, but it removed a lot of the implicit strategy from the TM games.

In my experience I can send Darkside users into the air with the special and take off a lot of their health while they recover. Reapers (motorcycles, right?) I just destroy within seconds, especially if I can ram them with a turbo.
It's 6 Vs 1, not a free for all with the AI.

wait, you can reverse?
also, does anyone know how to jump? I tried all the buttons.
A good Reaper player is monster. the lower end cars can be one-hit killed with flaming chainsaw and the other cars can be destroyed by a couple missiles after the flaming chainsaw. Always save your side weapon (freeze gun, mine, shield) for freeze ray with the reaper. only use the shield if you see a darkside turbo ram, flaming chainsaw, or when you have the leader in nuke mode.
L1 + R1 to jump
down on left stick to reverse
