Well, I recently just completed 2 playthoughs of the demo, so I'll like to share with you my experiences. This is not a "review" just my opinion and experience on the game, that I'll be sharing with you. Reviews are too professional, I like to keep things casual. With that outta the way, let us begin.
Gameplay - The gameplay is your standard hack and slash, with added benefits of force abilities. These range from your standard Force Push, Force Lightning, and Force Grab. Using these three abilities in conjuction, you can perform deadly and very spectacular abilities. My personal favorite is the force slam ability (X, X, Y, B). I was quite amazed at the level of AI the game has. For example, stormtroopers WILL avoid your attacks and WILL scatter if you get close. Thus removing alot of area-effect capabilities you have and forcing you in a very deadly game of cat and mouse. Using your surrounding items seems to be the key in higher difficulties. Another note I have to make about the AI is its uncanny ability to detect what kind of situation it is, try dangling a rebel trooper off a high ledge. He will infact beg for mercy. Of course you don't plan to give him any. Do you?
Unleashing the Force - The control scheme for the xbox 360 version is quite simple. 3 buttons are accolated to your attacks, X being sabre, Y being Force Lightning, and B being force push. I have however found it awkard to use force Grab. In order to force grab, you have to target them using RB, then use RT to grab them. The awkardness of it all comes from the targetting system, which seems to be very limited in range, and random at the best of times. The last thing is actually manuvering the object in mid-air is difficult sometimes. Your left-analog stick is used for forward-backwards movement, your right analog stick is used for side-to-side movement. Good luck!
Graphics - The graphics on my TV is quite good.. The force lightning effects is just as you would have imagined it in the movies, the backgrounds, textures, everything is up to par. I have no complaints.
Duration - I found the demo to be sorta short, but doesn't fail when it comes to enjoyability.
Anyway, have fun!
