Just tried the new Daikatana demo that came out today. The good news is that 3Dfx cards are specifically supported. The bad news is that the demo version of this game is totally lame.

I found the colors and level design bland, the weapons unbalanced, the physics model unrealistic and the net performance horrific (even over a T1 connection).

Did I mention that it ONLY works over the MPlayer network which itself is a total dog?

Constantly dying without knowing why, who, or how. Characters move way too fast. Zero strategy. Upper weapons are instant kill with huge blast radius. Blocky level design. Laggy even though it said I had a very good ping. Blech...
