    Does this demo expire? I'm only asking because there is a large amount of content you are actually able to access via the demo. I'm talking like a lot of splitscreen features AND bots. The only thing I seen so far that you can't get is the online and setting your own game presets. I am currently playing with 4 bots right now, this is sweet. 
     
    I'm really amazed to see such a fleshed out demo in this day and age. Especially after playing the short (Yet awesome) Splinter Cell demo.

    Haha, I'm going to. Once I get some money. But until then, it's staying on my 360 because these bot matches were like, my childhood and they're still awesome fun.

    I was going to buy it up until I played the trial. I didn't like how the devs(?) hadn't optimized the aiming controls for the dual analog that the 360 provides. We aren't playing on N64, we don't have just one analog.
     
    I'd honestly prefer to continue playing it on N64 rather than paying $10 to lose all my save files and everything and start over fresh.

    @StarFoxA: I know that there is a control for dual analog, but it is waaaaaaay too sensitive to be of any use.

    It's 10 dollars for a hard to find game with vastly improved graphics, controls kept as close as possible to the original to give it the same feel, and more robust online multiplayer mode. I'd say that's an amazing deal.

    Hey guys, just a great peice of news here 
     
    http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/108/1080439p1.html  
     
    Rare is going to update the game next month with Southpaw and Legacy controls, a Slider for the sensitivity when you're in Aim mode, trigger swapping, Solo and Team Hardcore playlists (No radar or autoaim), and fixing a bug that keeps you from getting the achievement "Tools of the Trade". 
     
    I love Rare.

    Glad you're enjoying the demo. 
     
    I probably should have messed around with the trial first. I got ambitious and shelled out the 800 points for it, and I'm not enjoying it all that much. I didn't play a whole lot of it back in the day, so I can't relate to the nostalgia factor.
