Hot off the presses, and by that I mean the Something Awful forums, is the news that the Jericho demo is a day early on Filefront and Gamespot. Jericho appealed to me because of its demonic time-traveling squad mechanic, although the trailers have made it look a bit silly in an eye-rolling, takes-itself-too-seriously way. Despite Dtoid's earlier good impressions following a preview, reports in this thread are less than enthusiastic:
Well I guess I'll say that I thought the demo was pretty damn terrible.
It feels like I'm looking at the world through a camera with a half-jar of vaseline on the end (including the jar itself), the character movement feels very sluggish and the DDR sequence is really awful both in pacing and style. I don't mind console-centric controls in my games, but this one just seems to be a half-assed "map some shit randomly to the keyboard" instead of any sort of thought being put into it.
I really hope this is the wrong version of the demo since it's out a day early.
I am personally unable to verify suck or not suck, as it were, since I am currently without a monitor. Here's where you come in: I want you to cram every cubic inch of that comments box with your own very personal impressions of this demo, starting NOW.

Uhmmm I think jericho sucks cause i dont know who the hell clive barker is.
And stop with the Zero comment crap.
and all that geese and suck he was talking about is completely optional and can be turned off if you dont like it..
i found the controls to be perfect and respond better then Bioshock... anyways i already did a indepth review in the cblogs so im done here... you guys need to research your games better
Sort of doesn't help Clive Barker's "Game as Art" arguments if his games completely suck, huh?

I get the impression that guys probably just an uptight butt minge ass burger who only plays hardcore online FPS's.
I was slightly intrested in Jericho before, after playing the demo its a must buy for me.
Lets just hope the full game lives up to the demo.
Another great game to get, damn, I had better rob a bank soon. Hurry Live, and up that demo.
