So does the resistance demo just suck or is the game actually like that?

[Q_A_X]

Resistance is one of the best games ever created.

Its replayed value is endless. It's still the number 1 game I play on the PS3 to this date, over a full year after I got it. (Well, until MGS4 came out on Thursday, but I've still stopped playing MGS4 to go online)
