In the demo you can fly around the map where ever you want. Seems like cheating. I was flying around getting all the power-ups. I accidentally fought one battle, got owned, bored, and stopped playing. Being able to go anywhere has you forgo leveling up and getting stronger, and so when you realize you can't handle a battle you realize you have to go back and grind and reminds me that's basically all the game is about - grinding battles.

I liked Kings Bounty, but I stopped because of all the fighting. I want to like Armored Princess, but I'm afraid it will be just more of the same.

That's pretty much the main selling point of the game.

As for the flying horse, it's the demo. You also start with hundreds of runes right away and some decent pieces of equipment. Its purpose is to show you what you can expect.

Isn't the combat the main point of the game?

Haha, yeah. I stopped playing COD4 because of all the shooting :shock:

Here's a review of MW2:
F1re Bladex gave it a10:
Best game ever. Normally CoD was all about shooting, shooting and shooting, but this time its different. Its more action packed. I loved the singleplayer. Multiplayer also improved alot with deathstreaks and more points received if u died many times in a row. So it keeps things balanced. Way to go Infinity ward.
