Ok the demo is really damn fun.
It's pretty much what I was hoping for - nonstop explosions. The sound and lightning are really good. The basic lightning attack looked pretty lame in the videos I've seen, but on the HDTV it's actually fun to use. The combat is great. Simple things like the Thunder Drop or rolling give you a sense of freedom and power, especially combined with the destruction all around you as you fight.
The biggest issue I see so far is the jaggies - graphics normally somethin I'd never complain about but they're just so ugly. Still though, it's not somethin you'd pay attention to during combat since your guy is very agile. The civilians are pretty lame. They have this lifeless feel to them mainly because of the animations. Their dialogue is also is abit overexaggerated.
The controls feel pretty flawless. They very comfortable to use (I still hate the dualshock though).
The game doesn't exacly feel that "open" in the demo - you'll get an "abandoning mission" message if you go out too far.
One thing I really wish it had was some kinda of "punishment" for causing all that destruction - in GTA you get the cops on you and it can be pretty fun fighting them off, especially when you're just lookin for some quick action. In Infamous, all you get is a bunch of panicky civilians. It'd be cool if some were equipped with weapons and started attacking after killing so many of them. I say this because the combat is really fun and sometimes I just want a nice long battle.
If the full game is as good as the demo, I'm definitely pickin this up.
