I have read on various Forums that some folk dislike Demos and some even refuse to play them. One reason given is that playing a Demo spoils the actual game its! There is probably some truth in rhat.
However, I am completely opposite ! I will not get a game UNLESS I HAVE FIST PLAYED ITS DEMO - except maybe on extremely rare occasions and for specific reasons !
I have two reasons for this :-
First and foremost, I need to check if the full game will actually play or play properly on my computer. Occasionally a game will not play due to incompatibility with my video or sound card or operating system. If that is the case - NO GO !!! If however the game plays flawlessly on the Demo it almost certainly will do so for the full game !!!
Secondly, I like some types of Quest/Adventures much more than others. Hence if the Demo bores me to tears (as some do) then I won't bother with thex game itself !!!
