I have to agree with a couple others on this demo - the demo felt like they built what feels like a mediocre shooter on top of a terraforming gimmick. I messed around with the demo for about an hour, and aside from messing around with the terrain, I couldn't really find many redeeming qualities about it. It just felt.. I don't know, almost like I had played the same game at least 3 other times. Everything about it felt generic - the shooting, the environments, the characters..
I think the big reason I'm looking forward to Dead Space is that they've created an atmosphere and story that looks incredibly captivating (just check out the animated comics they've put out). Plus, everything I hear about the gameplay is positive. So, I think that game is a safe bet for me.
