Universal Combat a world apart question

OK, firstly DS is the spawn of satan, beats up vending machines and is not a
pleasant person/happy camper.

That being said, is UCAWA a good game?

I like the game concept and frankly don't care if DS is a noxious person,
has anyone here had a look at the game and if so, do you think it is worth
downloading the demo and putting some time in learning the game or is it a
write off?

(There are plenty of threads available to put the boot into DS, please use
those if you want to - I just want some impressions of the game).

Bill posted some quotes of UC:AWA from the December '05 issue of PC Gamer:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It looks like Mr. Smart's created world continues to be a splintered pile of
partially complete and unorganized pieces. A world apart only in its
overwhelming mediocrity.

Here's some quotes from the half page mini review, PC Gamer, December 2005,
page 96.

"It'd be easy to laugh away Universal Combat: A World Apart, ... After all,
there's no real game here at all"

"The integrated FPS game is so horrible, it can barely shoot itself in the
foot."

"lifeless, vacant bits of real estate with zero tourism value"

"Of course, nothing's particularly well done."
