Let’s Playing: God Eater Burst (Demo)

Siliconera has been a hodge-podge of games this past week, with Jenni playing Deathspank: Thongs of Virtue, Laura on the new Pokémon Ranger, Spencer going through Dead Rising 2 and Enslaved, and Kris drooling over the Castlevania: Lord of Shadow demo.

This unfortunately means no one has had the chance to check out the enormous God Eater Burst demo, even though I actually downloaded it, put it on my PSP and even started it up once before other priorities called for my time.

I do recall playing the original God Eater demo, however, and running into some trouble there because I couldn’t quite figure out what to do, owing largely to my lack of sufficient Kanji knowledge. Since quite a few Siliconerites seem to be familiar with the game, I figured this would be a great chance to help the other readers out and dish out any info you can share on the demo.

What did you think of the game? How do the controls work? How do you go about the demo missions? Do you have any advice for newbies aside from being one with “The Claw”?
