I am just gonna cut out the exciting part...
You can throw the glaive from the hip, either blindly while moving around or with more precision through the aiming perspective. But the most useful way to employ the glaive is as a target-seeking projectile that can take out multiple enemies in a single throw. You can quickly lock onto each enemy within your view by painting them with the targeting reticle, and then loose the glaive to have it strike all the targets you locked in, after which it returns to your hand. It's a lot like the multi-lock-on shooting in games like Panzer Dragoon. When combat heats up, you'll need to master this technique so you can quickly deal with more than one enemy simultaneously. (You can rest assured they won't be lining up so you can deal with them one at a time, after all.)
The many soldiers you'll fight do carry all sorts of nice, high-tech weaponry--but alas, you won't put it to much use, since all these guns are equipped with DNA scanners that will disable them after just a few seconds. Luckily, you'll encounter a few underworld figures throughout the game that will gladly sell you black-market versions of all these weapons, with the DNA scanners removed, if you can muster enough cash. Digital Extremes says this is a sort of try-before-you-buy system, since you can briefly get a feel for each weapon before you decide which ones warrant coughing up the required number of credits (which themselves seem pretty scarce).And it seems like you'll occasionally need heavier ordinance anyway, since the demo wrapped up with the appearance of a gigantic demon boss character, a member of a group called the "old ones" that looked like it might laugh at your basic glaive attack
Playing Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition just makes me have this game even more, and Resident Evil 5!

PLEASE a demo on E3 or soon.

Hehe I knew you guys would like it.

I for one don't have a problem with that being in, the more advanced stuff in Dark Sector is better in my opinion, have more variety if you wanna lock on or go by the hard line and not to lock on.

This lock on thing reminds me of some of the footages I have been seeing from MEtroid PRime videos.

Lock on to a enemy and then charge your beam and go for it, or Red Steel, lock on and then quickly shoot everything in your way, nice touch really.

I hope it doesn't become cheesy like Xena camera styla, more like cinematic style would be awesome.

The more cinematic sequences they put in the gameplay itself would always be a plus, look at how RE4 turned out.
