I downloaded the demo earlier today, and I must say, this is a really fun demo.
It is incredibly fun gliding from building to building, and use cole's powers to either help people, or cause chaos.

Almost finished downloading. =)
Between this, Punch Out!! and Bionic Commando, what am I to do?!
Damn.

To reiterate what most people have said so far, this is pretty beefy, since "beefy" is the only scale you can have for demoing open-world games.

That said, I find the game kind of difficult. Combat plays a lot like a 3rd-person shooter, but mobility is just short of a Spider-Man game. As a result I haven't quite mastered all the running/jumping/gliding stuff.

Also, the enemies have really good aim. Maybe that's their superpower?

Liked the demo but I think its a little too late for me to buy it at this point. Already spent my money on other stuff~ Usually games I dont buy off the bat end up getting a used purchase but hey pre-order demos are an amazing idea to get people originally uninterested in the game yes?

Looks like it's rendered at a lower than 720p resolution with no antialiasing. Jaggies abound! :( Ugh...

I'll download tomorrow ...

One of the best demo's I've played in a while. The reapers are a serious annoyance though. They're like ants. The controls were simple and easy to use. It'll take a while to master it though. It's a lot more cover oriented than I thought. The graphics are top notch. The enemy AI is one of the best I've come up against too. I can't wait till it comes out tues.

Well I loved it and really can't wait for Tuesday now!! It's amazing how powerful yet vulnerable the game makes you feel. The highlight for me was doing a meteor smash off a building, only to discover that along with the enemy I had also killed about 10 pedestrians as well haha. Really have to play it careful on Hero.

I know I'll be purchasing this next week for sure.

Those reapers in the white cloaks that freaking do the Flash-esque dodging moves can kiss my ass.

i actually quit halfway through the demo.

this is really bad.

climbing shit was fun, but everything else.... just seemed half-assed. i'm sorry, but i can't get into it.


Prototype is DAY ONE for me though.

Like a few other unfortunate souls out there (including some American users, as far as I understand), I got a French version of the demo without asking for it. Made it impossible to figure out mission objectives, but I did enjoy running around electrocuting inanimate objects as well as people. As far as urban anti-social behavior goes, this sure beats ramming pedestrians with a car. Also, the graphics were impressive and the climbing was fun and more skill-based than Assassin's Tourist Sight-Seeing Creed.

I'm very happy with this demo, I'm going to buy this next week for sure.

It plays like Spiderman 2. Pretty neat, but I wouldn't pay $60 for it.

Definitely a day one purchase. The powers all work very well. The only true complaints to be levied against the game are the jaggies and pop in. I can live with that.

Fantastic demo. I put like 2 hours into it just exploring and mucking around. You wanted some thoughts and I have some spare time so here you go.

It is more difficult than I thought it would be, which is NOT a complaint. I'm one of those crazy folk who think games are getting too easy. Nice to see one refuse to pander to its audience. I played the demo on medium and it was pretty tough, but not annoying hard, just die-every-once-in-a-while because-you-did-something-stupid hard. It keeps you on your toes and makes you think out your moves. You need to climb around and strategically take out the baddies on the buildings. You can't go all HULK SMASH in this game. It makes you use your abilities.

The climbing rocked. It took me a while to get good at it, but once you get a rhythm it is a game in itself. Much of my time in the demo was spent just trying to keep a good rhythm while running around.

I found the enemies to be pretty frightening and smart. They have REALLY GOOD AIM. I like their design. The white ones are freaky!

One thing I love is you REALLY feel like a super hero. I'm not sure if it is the controls, the introduction, or the way the crowd reacts, or the details in the design, or how you have to be careful not to harm innocents. It just all comes together really well.

The cut scenes were awesome, loved the comic style. I ddnt think Id be that much into the story, but it seems pretty interesting and began to pull me in.

Overall I am very satisfied. Day 1 purchase. I can see myself putting a lot of time into this game.

To be honest Im kinda surprised that this many folks liked it, personally I didnt like the graphics or the characters, the enemies are poorly designed and they all look alike and move alike, I didnt enjoy the gameplay and I dont like the fact that there's no blood or gore, I guess I didnt feel that his powers are "real". The game feels like a kid's game to me, too bad cause I was hoping for a fun game, I hope prototype wont let me down as well

I've played the demo through a few times and I'm definitely picking this up on Tuesday. It's a blast to play, you feel awesome wielding those powers... its just great. If anyone hasn't played the demo and is on the fence about inFamous, they need to download it now.

I'm not sold. It was kinda fun, but I hated the controls, and I hated having to be in cover so much. That just doesn't work for me, playing a superhuman kinda guy and having to get behind cover so I can fire my lightning bolts.

I will pick it up at some point, I just don't know that this is a day one purchase for me. I want to see what Prototype, the two new console Overlord Games, Fight Night, and a few other June release have in store.

@harrmonica...

i liked Radical's previous game of Hulk, and seeing as Prototype will play almost identically to it, i know it won't dissapoint gameplay wise... the only question is the story, but who plays a sandbox for story anyway?


and what was the bullshit in the infamous demo with the subway? i'm on this subway that i'm making move by standing on it, but for some reason every 40 feet i have to shoot electricity at boxes... to power it up... so i have to stand on it in order to move...


not to mention i can create this electrical grenade, but god forbid i get near my own creation.... electricity hurts a man whose only power is wielding electricity... real fun...NOT
