I agree with most of what you say, but not all of it. The lack of non-localized damage is odd, and unintuitive. Unified ammo is also odd, but not something we should hold against it until we see how the finished game plays. I tend to feel Unified ammo will free the player to play in a way reflective of their style. The interface isn't great, but it isn't terrible. The AI? I can't say for sure because the two areas of the demo were pretty severly separated, but the AI seemed to handle itself OK.

Demos always run like s#(t. They're usually finished a month before the game is, and are based off of really old code. I would be surprised if the final game was running 100% better, but many problems will have been ironed out between demo and gold.

BTW, apparently you haven't seen the depths of crappyness of modern acclaim games. Let me remind you what they're capable of.

I thought it was all about the sex appeal...

Given titles like BMX XXX and DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball, you may be right.

Excellent idea. Let's make something restricted and force it to be kept under the counter and sold only to adults. It worked great for Carmageddon and BMX XXX. Those games so like totally didn't get any free marketing.

Also note that this game is a parody of extreme sports games!

I was unaware that SkiFree was an extreme sport game!
