| I just saw that post over at AVS and was going to ask you to post it here. Guess I don't need to, now! It's weird, though. I set up my UK account last night and downloaded it. Took all of about 20-30 minutes. Installation took about 5.
Overall, I would completely agree with your assessment of the demo. For a game that has been in development for this long, I expected a little more. I have to remember that it's just a demo and my judgment will only count on the finished product, but the demo has left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths.
I really did like the controls, though. They felt fluid and smooth, but aiming needs a little critiquing. I also don't like the fact that the nectar makes enemies light up bright red. It's cheesy and cartoonish to me. What you said about the graphics is spot on. I don't know how old the demo is, but it seriously looks like it was developed for the original XBOX at 480p. Tons of low resolution textures. Some pretty cool lighting, though, but Resistance looks better.
One really cool thing (and not related to the game) is that after downloading and installing the game, you now have access to it on any of your user profiles (I set up a new user account for the UK store). Same goes for themes and pictures that are downloaded. Pretty damn cool! Looks like I'll be creating a Japanese account as well for any future content that comes along.
