X360 demos run slow - just the demos or the games?

Hi, just started playing a few demos and well they run really low fps! Saints Row, Tomb Raider and a couple of others just run slow - is it just the demos that run this slow or the actual game? They don't run slow always but saints row has a hell of a lot of slow down.
 
So just to confirm - Saints Row runs just as slow the full game as the demo?

And wouldn't using low textures in the demos make the demos run faster if anything?

No,

The full game is much better. There is slowdown in a couple of places, but no way near as bad as the demo. And there is minimal tearing in the full game (still evident in a few cut scenes). That demo was very poor. I am glad I did not let it put me off buying the full game.

Thanks, thats fantastic to hear, I don't mind slowdown in the cut scenes aslong as its not in the game, GOW has terrible slowdown in the cutscenes but runs really good on my xbox 360 (and everyone elses i bet its not like a pc where we have different specs lol).
Just wondering, why does GOW run so slow on the cutscenes but when you play it in the same scenary it's fine?

Its one of the best games I've played on the 360, and I've probably played most. Unless your an absolute mega fusspot over stuttering, you should love it.
Nah i'm not, just found some of the slowdown on the demo ridiculous considering how much better gow looks and runs.
 
I'm sorry but if no one can't see the slowdown on GOW at the cutscenes they must be blind! And theres no point saying oww it doesnt on my xbox, its not like a PC we all have the same spec! Example - watch one of the very first cutscenes when you see the woman and meet up with the squad at the helicopter to go into the building to retrieve something - very slow.
