Overview
This is the beta demo for Breed. Breed is a sci-fi tactical shooter, similar to Halo, except less impressive story, and more strategy. The Earth has been invaded by a bio-mechanical alien race called (surprise) the Breed. Earth has been overrun, and only one battlecrusiser is left. You are a grunt on this ship and lead desperate attacks on the breed.
Game Play
Pretty easy to learn, the demo consists of leading a group of 4 grunts around an island and getting to the radar building. You can use breed and human turrets, but no vehicles in the demo. Each character has its specific weapon. The grunts have assault rifles and shotguns, there\'s a sniper and a heavy gunner. Each squad member can be controlled specifically by you. The rest will follow.
Graphics
The graphics are pretty darn good. The detail is at the Unreal 2 level, without slowing the frame rate. The Mercury engine is quite impressive.
Sound
Occasionally there\'s music, but no continuous tracks. This made the game somewhat boring and quiet. The overall sound effects were good. One thing that annoyed me is that when you fire for a prolonged period the grunt shouts and taunts repeatedly.
Content
There is of course violence, but no gore that I saw. The main problem is the swearing. Just about every word is used except the f-word, and there\'s no way to turn it off.
Overall the demo is impressive, but probably won\'t match up to games like Halo. The game is supposed to be released this summer.

About Us:
Christ Centered Gamer looks at video games from two view points. We analyze games on a secular level which will break down a game based on its graphics, sound, stability and overall gaming experience. If you’re concerned about the family friendliness of a game, we have a separate moral score which looks at violence, language, sexual content, occult references and other ethical issues.
