    Even though I really want to try it out... I'm too lazy to make an EU account. I'll just wait till tomorrow.

    Tried out the demo.  Seems very good, better than I expected even.  I was actually planning on putting off buying it, but now I'm not sure.  Anyways, will probably try the 360 and PC demos (as long as the PC demo still comes tomorrow, as that version has been delayed) first.  Probably the best UE3 showing on PS3 as well.

    Mines downloading at 60%, what's in the demo? Is it the same as the demo thats been at stores? Or does it have invisible predator stuff in it rather then just the challenge mode thing?

    I just played through the the demo and I really like it. The controls feel great but very simplistic. I guess they'll introduce more stuff later in the game though.  
    If the enemy doesn't see you the demo is a breeze to get through, if not you're dead in an instant.

    Never played the store demo.  There's a few cutscenes, you start off going through some areas and beating some guys, you break some of Joker's trap things, then you use your predator stuff and save a guy from being killed, then a larger area with more guys you can silently take down or just fight then one more area in which you can go stealth or not.  Game lets you improvise a lot in your tactics, I really like the way the game does this.

    Okay good, the demo in stores was just the challenge thing where people come out of rooms and you beat them up.

    Whoa, awesome demo! What do other people think? 
     
    I especially liked the camera work with the cut scenes and the control scheme. One thing I didn;t like though was the jagged-ness (this might be an effect of my screen though...) will be curious to see what it looks on the PC when that demo comes out.

    A little short, but the voice work is really well done.

    Awesome demo. Only bad thing I noticed were the in-game conversations between characters. It's all very stiff, and the facial expressions are pretty poor, almost as bad as Fallout 3.

    I'm liking the fact that they have used the voice actors from the TV series

    Thanks for the heads up dude.
     
    I find all this regional-store-specific crap pretty funny on 360 and PSN. If I can sit down, and for under five minutes make accounts for each regions store, any moron can do it. 
     
    For godsake, according to my EU account I live on 420 Hash Street.
