Prototype demo
" They usually don't do demos for open world games, and I strongly doubt this will be an exception. "didn't crackdown have a demo? and I know Saints Row had a demo. But I see your point, the devs would have to go to extra effort to restrict your access to the city. I don't know exactly how much effort that would be though.
" @Binman88 said:Right. A demo for an open world game isn't impossible, but having played Prototype a considerable amount, I don't see how they would restrict it and what they would allow you to do in order to get a good feel for the game without giving you too much.."

However if we've not seen one now and they put such a late embargo on the reviews, I doubt they'll release one.
" @JJWeatherman said:Maybe just make the demo the opening sequence where the game basically gives you a very quick run down of your powers. You probably know what I'm talking about. Maybe even add a timer onto that so you can't run around forever. Anyways, just a thought." @Binman88 said:Right.

" @Binman88 said:Yeah a timed demo would be a good idea with that opening sequence - kinda like Burnout's PC demo." @JJWeatherman said:Maybe just make the demo the opening sequence where the game basically gives you a very quick run down of your powers.
