It rules and the higher difficulty is genuinely more difficult. The enemies really come at you hard. This looks like it could be up there with the DMCs and Ninja Gaidens. I sure as hell wish that the dodging worked more like NG though I find it to be a bit ugly to have to hold left and right bumper and still have my finger on rt. I can tell that the targeting is going to be a bit of a problem though unless it is tweaked for the final build.
Yes that happened to me and on the higher difficulties you will get rocked by blaster fire while force gripping stuff.Revelo post=9.69174.652456 said:
(I never liked the way they didn't apply DMM to stormtroopers. What's the point of a lightsaber if you can't chop people to bits and pieces? I'm sticking with Jedi Outcastt. Possibly Jedi Academy.... No, Outcast)
I find your lack of faith... disturbing
anyway demo kicks ass

That's StarWars: The Force Unleashed, of course 
Anybody play it yet? You can download it on Xbox Live (and possibly PSN ... not sure, since I don't own a PS3). Seems fairly promising. The Force powers are fun, and the combat is satisfying - not quite God of War satisfying, but good enough.
What'd you guys think?

How bizarre, I had exactly the opposite impression. The controls are too fiddly, the force powers unsatisfying and the lightsabre is woefully underpowered, especially considering you have much easier options for disposing of foes.
The Force Unleashed wasn't really a game that was on my radar though, so I'm not that disappointed.
EDIT: You can tell you're an editor though Ice, all the game titles are in italics.

I wasn't too blown away. I found the force powers fun, but impractical. I'll buy it, but I won't be rushing to the store.
I liked the combat though, but I found the apprentice weird, his voice was too light and his a little too puggy, it didn't make him look like he had just gone through hardcore training. Though I guess it's because they want to make him out as a lightsider by t he end, though if given the choice I'm going with the darkside ending.
Also I was hoping for something a bit more epic than an AT-ST, I'm sure that's really a mini-boss.
In total, I liked it, had some fun and got to play something new (by Star Wars standards). I'm also going to download it for XBL to see which controls I prefer.

Someone else noticed that SW:TFU is pretty close to S:TFU eh! Thank you, I actually thought I was the only one. I mentioned it to a friend or two, and after a moment of thought they'd laugh and say "Oh ya! hahaha!"
Oh, and about the demo (sorry), seeing as how my 360 is about 150 km away from me right now it's kinda hard to play haha. I haven't heard great things, but I will be at least trying it out when I get my box up here (I never thought 10 days could take so long...).

It's fun, once you get past the fiddly controls you can pull off some sweet combos, and the lightsaber isn't underpowered when you use it in conjunction with force...after all the game IS the FORCE unleashed, not lightsabers unleashed, wow that sounds like some wierd porno.
The demo excited me because it was so similar to God of War. Minibosses with QTE special kills? Making door opening fun again? Hilariously over-the-top special powers? Air dashes? Sign me up! This is what demos are for - to take a glorified tech demo and convince me there's an action game underneath it.
Compared to other Star Wars games, it's pretty jarring, though. I couldn't figure out how to deflect blaster shots, the Force powers are permanently turned to 11, and the Apprentice himself looked more like a B-list bounty hunter than a Dark Jedi.

I was bothered that they gave us the underpowered starter apprentice to tool around with, as I think the powers would be more fun fully levelled up, but then again it is just a demo.
I found myself having trouble accurately throwing objects, but other than that, I did enjoy the force powers, especially the force power combos that you could do with the lightsabre.
As a demo, it achieved its end. I'm totally buying the game.

I have played the demo 3 times since yesterday and I love it. Everytime I have played I have discovered new things. Sure the controls aren't perfect and targeting is a bit finicky but that is not a dealbreaker for me. Can't wait for it to hit store shelves.
Wow, I just realized that the abbreviation for this is "STFU" - now I can use that bad pun saying "STFU ABOUT S:TFU"
Err, anyway, the demo lacks a lightsaber duel!

The moment that did it for me was throwing a barrel through a ship window, then watching all the enemies in the hallway get sucked out before the storm doors close.
