yes the Simpsons was I though very poor, compared to what they have dome in the past ie: Hit and Run. all the other Simpson games imo were terrible, but H&R was a pretty cool game indeed. so i was expecting better than what we got for the demo.

personally im happy and glad we get demos like this, mainly because its a very poor game (imo) and i wont be buying it, thats for sure. but if I hadnt of played it.. who knows, i might of given it a go.

as for Jericho... i liked that, and straight after i played it, i was definitely going to buy it. but then i played it again, and i can across the same things as you, the same thoughts. sniper.. great, but you cant play as her all the time, the knuckle head with the big gun? he seems ok.. but i hate associating myself with characters like that in a game, like Rico in Killzone, that man was a prat. so if youre always chopping and changing characters.. do you ever really connect with this game? but thats just me, i guess.

on a side point and imo an important one, my GF's brother came over the other night and was playing PS3, i let him play Jericho.. and he just couldnt get to grips with it at all.. Warhawk and RFOM, he's bloody good and is almost a natural at killing folk etc.. but Jericho just wasnt a pick up and play game.

i think thats important too. i like games that require you to play and learn the controls etc.. but if you cant connect with the game or the characters, learning complex controls seems like an empty voyage.

the most enjoyable demo i have played recently is Ratchet and Clank (PS3)

from gameplay to playablity, R&C plays like you expect it to play on the PS3, after all. with all that extra power under their nails they should make this version of R&C fun to play and brilliant to watch. so it doesnt disappoint in the graphics dept either. Control wise, its just really tight, just as its always been. The difficulty level isnt high at all, and i figure that you should be able to alter that in the menu of the full game, because its very very easy indeed, not exactly Ninja Gaiden level!.

i played through the whole demo in about five mins, but had a blast playing it. and will certainly put it on again soon.
my only negative that i can really think of is that its just more of the same formula that it has always been, nothing really new here.. but saying that, if it aint broke dont fix it as they say.
