Just played the demo, it was ok. Not a day 1 purchase for me.
Dialog options seem even weaker this time. There are only a few dialog options in the whole demo. Those that are there never seem to have the option of what I want to say, and whatever you pick Shepard still says something else.
For example at some point Anderson wants to stay behind and fight. Your options, "I'll stay too" and "No way in hell" Not an "Ok you stay I go" option. I pick "No way in hell", Shepard says "We should stick together" How convenient, that fits both options. Then Anderson says Ok I'll stay, you go convince the council. Yeah that's what I wanted to say in the first place...
Story mode doesn't shorten the combat sections, just makes you invincible. There's still the same amount of bad guys to mow through. (sets difficulty to narrative, one below easy)
Action mode simply chooses the dialog options for you.
RPG mode leaves the difficulty on default and the dialog options on.
You can change the settings individually in the game play menu whenever you want.
The cover based shooter combat is pretty good in the 2nd part of the demo, although I found it a bit hard to get used to the camera being so far next to Shepard. Like driving a car from the passenger seat.
Dialog delivery however is pretty bad, lip synching does not match up and it is full of weird pauses, as if you're watching a sitcom where the characters are waiting for the laugh reel.
I'm sure that if you loved ME2 you'll love ME3. I like 1 more then 2, and am not convinced 3 will bring back the good things of the first one.
