Spark Unlimited is well aware that most people felt let down by the demo experience and has written a blog post assuring that the critical reaction was taken on board and that the issues have since been addressed.

i agree. and i currently have no opinion of the game because i didn't try the demo (not interested in any FPSs on 360 right now. i have enough at this point).
but maybe the demo was built a while back. maybe it's not a demo running off near current code. who knows. we'll have to see =)[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 148 ]bids

With less than one more month to go (26 Feb release date), without delaying the game, I don't think there is anything significant that can be done to address the issues. Unless they release another demo, with revised scenarion and gameplay.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

My problem with the demo wasn't exactly code based. It looked, sounded and ran OK (although the aiming seemed a bit hoky). My problem is simply with the entire premise of the game. Do I want to play *another* game that involved shooting Nazi grunts? It didn't seem to offer anything beyond an extremely run-of-the-mill gameplay experience, and with a month left until release, those fundamentals of game design are pretty much set in stone now.
I remain open minded, but I'm *extremely* sceptical of this game's quality, and more importantly for this site, it's ability to differentiate itself in an already overcrowded market segment. Is Joe Public going to shell out 60 Lincolns for this, or instead pick up CoD4 for less? It's a no-brainer to me.
