I should add a bit more after having some time to reflect a bit:

First, the demo should have had an in-depth tutorial or some kind of screen to figure out how all the menus and such work. It took me a bit of time to figure out the skill tree, weapons upgrade, etc. It also took me a bit of time to figure out how to kill the big guys with the big hammers. As you get close, an A button appears, your hero jumps on the guy's back and/or head, but then what?

I suspect a lot of people had trouble with the demo simply because you are jumping into the middle of the story with no documentation or any help in getting acclimated with the game. When all else fails, RTFM. Unfortunately there isn't one in the demo.

I love the controls as it lets me do both... be a shooter and be a hack and slash. I've never played a game that so easily did both simultaneously.

The graphics are not he best the 360 has seen but they certainly aren't bad by any stretch. They are more than adequate for my gaming tastes as I'm more into the experience than the graphics.

Instead of trying to learn everything about the demo and the game, I've already decided I like it (a lot) and deleted the demo. I will wait and enjoy the full game instead.

Sinha has a point, if it was the other way around, us commenting on a PS3 game, you'd probably give us a warning for trolling.

i have to agree that the demo was pretty fun

Actually I think thats how the game starts, including the tutorial parts. You can get more parts of the story by walking towards various groups of soldiers in the first room or two

@kn

All your points are spot on imo, completely agree.

I enjoyed my second playthrough of the demo much more because I knew how the inventory worked and how to get rid of the big robots with the big hammers quickly. Needless to say, I performed much better and more fluidly as well. I died only once in my whole second playthrough but I think 5-6 times in my first playthrough.

I also liked that you can now skip the cutscenes (apparently this was not in the preview code).

So basically, once you get the controls intuitively and get used to hitting the LB for camera center, I found myself increasingly looking forward to the next wave of enemies. You know, that Diablo feeling of whats around the corner and what huge hammer/sword/armour/gun was I going to get next.

I completely agree with this.

Okay, so if a non-Wii owner goes into every Wii game thread and writes "lol shitty graphics" they won't be banned for trolling?   Not only is it "an opinion on something", but Wii games do in fact have shitty graphics compared to the top PS3/360/PC games. Trust me, I OWN A WII.

My world: gold, lilacs, no one allowed to say anything negative, supar 1337 AAA ubarness.  One day you'll go off to college, and you'll take a philosophy/logic/debate/law-type course, and you'll learn what a straw man argument is, and then you'll know why I didn't bother to respond to it.

The second bolded line is just hilarious.  So... the main thing keeping you from buying a 360 is people who say... those who downplay 360 exclusive games... despite not owning a 360... are trolls?  Really, that's the main thing keeping you from buying a 360??  You won't buy a 360 because of something some random person who owns a 360 says on an internet forum?  Good to know the mods around here are so incredibly mature.

My "actions"?  You mean my actions like... my comment above?  Wow, you won't let my terrible comment pointing out that you don't own a 360 STOP YOU from buying a 360??  Your determination in the face of such adversity and brutal repression is admirable.  You will not be stopped... you're a hero to us all, you're like the Rosa f*cking Parks of vgchartz.

The difference is there are a billion Wii mods running around and a few PS3 mods, but aside from mrstickball pretty much no one cares if people troll the 360.

*looking beneath my 360 with a disappointed look on my face*

That is part of the big Fall update so you'll have to wait.
