that is a really stupid thing to say that people just want a reason to bitch... did you ever think that people really want co-op play in these doom-like games? Another thing that sucks about witchaven is the f**king mouse control... ...at least if you are gonna copy doom, copy the good doom like controls...

It's quite different than : Doom in some aspects (the use of short-range medieval weapons, gaining : experience, using potions, etc). It's almost like a part role-playing : part action game. The full version is much better than the demo. They : have fixed the sound problems, and you can now change the screen size in : SVGA mode which you couldn't do in the demo. The graphics have been : improved, and of course many more monsters were added. Once you get used : to the controls and the fact that most of the fighting is done at close : range, you'll have a lot of fun. I personally could care less whether or : not there is co-op modem play. It seems people just want a reason to : bitch. As a 1 player game, it's excellent. I don't think the demo does : the game justice (wait til you see the cool intro, and the later levels : are awesome, and huge!!), so I think you should check it out. I can't wait : for Tekwar! If Capstone can fix some of the problems with that game, it : should be really cool as well. : -Aaron : ps.
