    I've been following this game for a while and very much looking forward to playing it. The demo came out on Wednesday but thanks to a combination of it's frankly ridiculous file size (5GB+) and slow PSN download speeds I've only just gotten to play it.

    I have to say it has left me disappointed. On the plus side the games visuals are amazing. The art style is excellent and the execution of the theatre asthetic is flawles. I especially love the crowd reactions to your actions.

    Funnily enough it is that strong replication of the theatre experience that for me was the big drawback. The demo is so broken up into little scenes that there is no momentum or flow. Also each segment takes place on the stage that is only the width of the screen. I'm sure later levels will expand on that and that these levels in the demo were more tutorials than real levels.

    In the end it is a very poor demo and I will have to wait to read some impressions of the full game before buying.

    Anyone else play it? What did you think?

    Had my eye on this game since i seen it on e3.

    Just got done with the demo and its so weird its interesting.

    This is the reason why i love scej , they are so creative and its always refreshing what the studio comes up with next.

    I will be buying this when it comes out :D

    Try plugging your PS3 in via Ethernet cable & open ports on your router.

    just played the first part of act 1. Very easy, not that much fun and feels like a cheap psn game but i'll give it a bit longer.
