Anyone else downloaded the demo of this? It is really good. Think it may be my first X360 game purchase.
I did enjoy the demo..may get it after christmas.
The magazines I've read have given it fairly good scores, 8s and 9s.
A lot of people seem to be grumbling about the lack of combat, but that's really missing the point, this isn't an FPS.

The reviews of this seem to not like the trial and error gameplay. They also say the level design can lead to some stop-start moments, which detracts from the premise of the game. They are hoping that there will be a sequel in which to sort these flaws out.
Having said that, they do say that if you like the demo or just want to try something new, it's worth getting.
I think it comes out today, I may get it over the weekend. We'll have to see...

i need to download the demo and give it a try, just have not found time to do it yet. Hopefully i can this weekend, i was looking at this game as apotential buy
I'm unsure about this. Heard good things and then all of the magazines absolutely slate it. I think I'll download the demo later...but whether I'll have time to play it I don't know :p
I enjoyed the novelty and the addictive 'lets do that again to see if I can do it any better this time' type gameplay. I was a bit miffed the time-trials were locked out of the demo as I'd have loved to give them a go.
I think it'll do OK, it's completely different gameplay (think SKATE without a skateboard) than most people are used to which is always a risk but it's very polished, should sell well.
Hardest bit for me is those 180-turns mid wall run to jump off, practice makes perfect.
