It takes skill to use well, but once I got used to it I started having a blast. At this point I can swing all around the stage without touching the ground once. I recommend you give it another shot and just spend a round avoiding combat and swinging around the stage.<br /><br />As for MP-only demo: According to the Bionic Commando dev podcast, they noticed new players picked up the swing mechanic faster in multiplayer. However, I would have preferred to start with single-player.<br /><br />As for the guns, yeah they are (mostly) rubbish. What I love about the multiplayer is the swing mechanic lets me use strategies that don't work in any other game. Also, I get a sick thrill using the arm to snatch a gun pickup before someone else and then kill them with said gun. The key to the fun I’ve been having has been the swing mechanic.
