I hope they release Fez on more platforms. I was finally going to pick up a 360 in the near future mainly for Fez, and Spelunky but maybe I can wait for PC releases now.
I didn't really like the demo either but I bought the game and I'm glad I did. I wouldn't say there is any more depth to the game than what's in the demo but there is a pretty big world to explore at your own pace with great music and atmosphere.
Yeah, I agree the controls can be very clumsy, but I think that that might have been on purpose. When Kat engages her gravity powers her animation is her floating around all clumsily in the air. I think the idea is to make you feel empowered that you can coerce this clumsy girl with some special powers into doing great things (beating bosses, rescuing people, etc). I've noticed a little bit of lock-on correction for moves like the gravity kick, but other than that there is no real hand-holdey stuff.
After spending a bit more time with it (last chapter I think) I still really like it. If you can stay patient with it (read: ~2 drinks) it's still very enjoyable. That's not always easy though.
The loading times on the challenges really do piss me off, fortunately it's pretty easy to rank 3rd in most of the them in only a few tries and it seems like you can alternately gather just as many gems by simply exploring the world. Wishful thinking is that they'll fix the loading times with a patch but I'm not holding my breath.
