    A thread was made on this a lil while ago if im not mistaken. That said, I loved the demo for the most part and cant wait for the game. I will die of happiness if you can get sharks with friggen laser beams attached to their heads <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Just played through twice and I'm itching for this to get released. It even plays well on my decrepit computer which is on borrowed time until HL2 is released.

    Last week is a bit far, it's more or less 2 days.

    I tried it, but it didn't seem very interesting to go on from the demo. I'd want to build my base from the ground up, with very in-depth Counter-Me AI...so I could use traps really effectively.

    I had a guy held for interrogation, he escaped somehow...apparently my guys forgot to strip him of weapons and explosives, because he proceded to C4 the armory...

    it's good, but i got a little frustrated when someone i was interrogating broke free and killed my main dude <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    How much can you actually do in the demo?

    the demo gives you the entire tutorial level (with a few features disabled most likely)

    All agents break free when held for too long. Just look at how many times Bond's escaped.

    A useful tip is to have a door on one side of the armoury. It doesn't have to lead anywhere (in fact, it's better if it doesn't). Set it to four dots. Now, there'll always be someone guarding that door, usually one or both of your henchmen. Whenever he escapes, they'll nail him before he can do anything naughty.

    You may want to do something similar to protect your Evil Genius, too.

    I wish you could just designate areas to be guarded, though, and minions would arm themselves if taking up guard duty. The alerts aren't as specific. I shouldn't have to build fake doors.

    In the full game, there will be security cameras that direct guards to the location of intruders, and places a capture tag on them. Not to mention pits of fire, mantraps, proximity mines, pirahna tanks and many other goodies.

    In the full game you won't be constantly under attack from soldiers like in the demo; armed guards will alert any agents snooping around your base and result in a higher heat rating.

    You should be able to create an undead army and take over the world once you kill enough people.

    Well not really. But you can make a load of dead body into "Freaks" which are hugely powerful people but they have the average IQ of a CS Player.
