Bah, this was on my want list, def gonna have to have a bash tonight - I personally like simple control methods, I hate games where I have to learn how to do a combo etc - Button Bashing ***!
I only found it by accident, Marketplace always seems to update on a Tuesday or Wednesday so thought I'd have a look
Not got a clue about PS3 demo, sorry.

The only good bit is the fist fighting in my opinion, and even then certain enemies take an incredible (and totally unrealistic) amount of mauling before they go down. The shooting parts of the mission were sub-par due to a poor aiming/camera scheme, and the driving mission...ugh. Worst driving scene I've played in a game in years, I thought we left crap like that behind with the last gen at bare minimum. <_<
Let me try and sum up how bad it was: Paris consisted of about five streets, cops didn't pursue you into alleys regardless of whether they saw you enter them or not and the car handling was an absolute nightmare.
In short, it's worth playing if you have little better to do and enjoy watching Bourne smash people's faces in a couple of times with the "Takedown" ability, but completely missable otherwise. 4/10 at best.

Yeah I managed to have a go last night, was very disappointed.
The graphics were below what I was expecting and I hated how it constantly takes control away from you (I don't mean the tutorial bits, I mean the 3 second clips to kill someone etc).
I've demoted this to my rental list now.

True. You don't control no "killer" moves most are just done by AI or w/e you'll call it
Takes away the fun :/
Downloaded it and played it...wasnt all that impressed with it tbh....
The demo level was a bad choice, the levels i got to play(opening 3) are a lot better and graphicly there is some really stunning parts! as for the shooting i thought it was pants in the demo but after getting grips to it from the start it isn't that bad, and it also helps that i learnt how to put my gun away! 
So I'm the only one that can't wait to run out and buy the game after having played the demo?
Nope. I've got this ordered and cant wait to pick it up

I kind of enjoyed it, despite being insanely frustrating. Quicktime events are crap and annoying yet there are millions of them. The hand to hand combat looks cool, but it doesn't feel like you're doing a lot of it tbh. Gun comat was average at best, vehicle driving was abysmal. Boss fight was pretty fun. I might rent it at some point.
I only had a brief chance to play the demo when I was off work feeling terrible. The fighting was pretty cool but the quick time events were horrible (I generally hate them anyway). One thing did annoy me though, a lot of the time in the corridors I didn't really have a clue what I was supposed to do. This might have been because I wasn't fully concentrating of course but it just didn't seem to flow properly.
Also after seeing the initial cut scene intro I thought wow this looks good, only then it went to the normal game engine where it was 'meh' at best.
