    Haha yeah i remember one of my friends was on GoW status before the game was realeased, so i thought yayyy a demo finally out but there was none so he must have improted a copy from us or something. Its a shame coz i would really like to try this game out before i go buy any more games atm.

    why release a demo for a game that is going to sell by the bucketload anyway. most people hear their mates say how good it is and buy it anyway.

    Yes, and I thought the gameplay was fairly dire. Control system is just wrong, every button does the opposite of what you'd expect it to do.

    I enjoyed the single player demo of LP, haven't tried the MP demo yet though.
    Epic said they weren't going to do a demo for GoW a while back.

    I agree, this is why MS will have done it. They will save some money (typical of MS) and as it is such a major game i don't think they'll have any trouble selling copies.

    I found the controls very unnatural on LP though the game play did seem to be there, like anything it might just take some getting used to.

    I think GOW speaks for itself the amount of hype surrounding has surely told you ever piece of information you need for the game.
