The Simpsons Game Demo - Doh!

The Simpsons Game--a title we ladies thought looked pretty cool, then we played the demo on XBL yesterday and we sort of changed our minds. This made us wonder just how often a demo can actually damage the sales of a game? Another title this happened with recently was TimeShift (also on the Xbox 360), we were looking forward to this title, then we played the rather lacklustre demo.

Back to The Simpsons Game for a moment though--it looks fantastic, it really is just like playing the cartoon, but the demo didn't bode well for actual playability, it was all a little annoying and repetitive. Sure we'll probably still get it and we look forward to a Thumb Bandits review of the title, it's just a shame the demo, which is meant to make you want the game even more actually had the opposite effect.
