PSN Demo of Spare Parts

WTF! I sat down with the Mrs. last night to give this a go, and booted the game up. First thing I had to do was wait 10 minutes for it to download an update to the demo. That's right, they're patching demo's now. Ridiculous. After download, it then installs. Finally, the game launches.

The graphics looked really cool, and I couldn't wait to see what this game was all about. All I knew about it was that it was a couch co-op, so those always make my list to demo with the Mrs. We got in, and the AI told us to go to this training room. We did, and quickly went into a virtual room (think like the new Metroid game) where you practice jumping, and fighting. It didn't take long at all considering the mechanics were very much like the Lego games.

...And that was it. The demo was over. We never got to see a world, or experience any real gameplay. Granted, the game is only 10 bucks, but I don't like to waste money, and I got no feel for this game at all. What an awful demo.

Developers: a demo should tell me whether or not that game is for me. If you won't let me play it, at least, for the love of God, give me a video of the gameplay!

  1. lol. Dude I played the same demo from the American PSN. Basically after you complete the demo you just hit the button that says you don't want to buy the game yet and then it'll let you go to the outside world.

    The game is alright but having two people usually makes it more fun.
