Loved the demo, hope the full game lives up to it. Will probably wait a bit for a price drop, I usually do with SP titles.

I'm going to wait as well but only for the 'proper' reviews to appear. Having played the demo I can't see how it's managing to get scores close to 100% from some magazines unless they're doing it to get past Eidos's review policy.
 
Demo was OK, combat seemed to easy and lacked depth. TBH after playing DS this came across as a typical style over substance game which I think I'd struggle to enjoy atm.

Will probably pick it up cheap around Christmas and enjoy it.
 
Anyone know if the place that was selling this for 22 quid a few weeks back will honour it? Not had any e-mails to say otherwise, but I rarely go for these deals tbh, so have no idea about this company. Whilst the demo was good, it was not full price good as I bet it will be short (like most SP games this gen).

This and Uncharted 2 are the games I'm most looking forward to this year, roll on 7 days time :)

I felt the same, I found the combat rather dull - it reminded me of Assassin's Creed where you'll be surrounded by bad guys while they all take turns to attack you one by one, way too easy and uninteresting.

I'm hoping this changes in the final game or with an increased difficulty setting.

I think that just a problem most fighting games suffer from. If they all attacked you at once, it would too overwhelming and the fighting mechanics would end up being all button mashy.
