God, I gotta get this demo!!!

I tried Switchaxe, Med Bowgun, and Great Sword. I think I liked the great sword the best. Bowgun was also fun though. I'll have to try a few of the others before deciding what I'll mainly use with the actual game.

Switchaxe is actually the only one I haven't tried yet. I'll have to try it in a few minutes. The Bowgun is fun to use but very difficult also. I can understand the purpose of the Lance but it just wasn't effective. Longsword is great but not being able to block really hurts. The Sword+Shield worked really good. Don't know why but I just wasn't a big fan of it.

Long Sword -- good balance of speed / strength

I plan on playing with my brother, he prefers the bowman (heavy/light), and has found a pretty good gun-n-dash technique along with traps.

Well, I got the demo and I must say that I absolutely SUCK at this game. I tried the Sword & Shield combo and I ran out of time. I also attempted the Long Sword and actually succeeded but it took me forever...lol. Anyways, I will attempt the other weapons and give my verdict.
