THIS. I played the demo at my buddy's the other night... there was a section where we literally got stuck for 5 minutes figuring out what the hell we were supposed to do (the section where you have to pull out the three large shipping containers to make stairs. We tried every move and hit every icon on the touch screen, until we finally figured out that in order to move the containers you had to select the red guy with the giant fist and swap him in as your lead character, something that was never explained at all in the game's "tutorials".
Also getting your group to follow your instructions like forming stairs or going into those pods was a big pain in the ass as well. This is one of those games that is needlessly complicated and will turn alot of folks off who don't have the patience to deal with all the nuances in the controls and gameplay features.

Not really what I meant... I was talking more about the fighting scenes where there are tons of enemies and its hard to follow until you get used to it. Mean that in a good way.
As for the puzzle you're talking about, you don't have to change your lead character. You just have to unite morph into the hand. By that part in the demo, they required you to do something similar a couple of times (vending machine and combo lock) and those times they gave instructions.
As for the bridges, I found that a bit tough at first, but it was much easier once I started using the analog stick rather than the touchpad.
Definitely are a lot of nuances, but it's not needlessly complicated. The nuances are the point. It's the type of game where you have lots of different options at your disposal to give you replay value and different ways to tackle problems. It's so much fun messing around with the various weapons, and I've replayed the demo like a dozen times already. Just got platinum. Pure platinum seems impossible. Of course, some gamers will prefer a good old fashion x for light attack y for heavy attack game, and that's cool too.
