This will be the deserved winner of the compo! Great graphics and music, unique style and a rather interesting credits part. PlayPsyCo have really become one of the big players in the scene.

Liked this one a lot - congrats to everyone involved!

I think the visuals are worse than a steaming pile of shit, but the music is nice.

Music is cool, visuals aren't that good. But aint shit :P

Definitely the best in the compo. All in all very solid and enjoyable production. It's pretty obvious winner.

Hmm, a lot of cool stuff happens and I guess I should be really impressed, but I'm kinda left feeling indifferent for some reason.

It had the potential to be a real action-packed stunner, but the visual style didn't work. Personally I'd blame the dull colour scheme and the cell shading (?).

Playpsyco are obviously very talented and technically are at the top of their game. However...

I'm afraid to say that I didn't enjoy this alot. I think it suffers from the same problem that mupe had, that is, too much saturated colors and too much blur (ok I can see the irony there myself :-)). The progression also doesn't seem to lead to anywhere. If you think about it it is a rehash of the millions of claustrophobic industial fly-by demos produced over the past 10 years. Reminded me a bit of the latests demos by cocoon, although cocoon does that type of demos with a bit more finesse. I also got the impression that the transitions were forced a bit, with the framerate going up and down while scenes are changing. Bland particle effects BUT best FOV effect ever. Music is just there doing its thing, not very memorable but quite fitting.

All in all a good demo that left me with mixed feelings: isn't this genre getting too tired already ?

Love at first sight! Heavy 3D stuff and drum'n bass in here, which makes a great demo experience.
