A few things.
1. There will definitely be a demo, there is a demo of almost any significant game on 360 and this is one of the biggest.
2. I expect summer/Fall release in Japan for this and here in the US before 08 is up.
3. It isn't a huge graphical leap from NGS that much is clear, but it is a proper sequel which is worth more to a NG fan than the looks of the game, plus lots of new stuff obviously.
4. I agree that NG series have the best combat in any action game, and DMC series is the second best, but Heavenly Sword has good combat too.
Most importantly, if you guys watched the presentation, you would see there is a statue of liberty level there in the level selection, can you imagine fighting on top of that???? That would probably look stunning.

Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
