That is if you like hack and slash, and mincing, and ripping. Believe me, if you don't, you will be a convert by the end of this movie like (for realism) game.
None of that fancy invention, bow and arrows, here.
But for the married, if you get into a throwing fit, you can throw all kind of maces, axes, swords and lasagnas.
Getting serious, this is incredibly beatiful material, painstakingly detailed, with mysterious locations, or awesome views and gigantic structures every minute.
More important, it's full to the brim with intelligent scripting, and a Half-Lifish demand on your IQ.
The only level that's somewhat uninteresting is the sea one, introductory, when you have a fairly wussy weapon.
But then you get progresively mightier ones, and it's a non-stop joy to the finish ...
All the weapons can get tenfold destructive using the force of the runes scattered around. Use the force Luke!
See ya
RUNE, game of the year material.

I havent't had time to play this demo yet but I read that Blade of Darkness will be much better than Rune.
I found Rune to be a very boring game. It looked great, but it played somewhat like Tomb Raider. Nothing but caverns and jumping puzzles. Also, I did not like the fact that it felt like no matter what weapon you were using, they all did the same damage. I gave up on it after I reached an underground castle. I was bored to tears.
I agree with tunis5000, Deus Ex should definitely be GOTY. It was one of the few games I hated finishing.
