Here's a snip from the article.
"The first thing that springs to mind is what a difficult task Epic and Digital Extremes had producing this demo. Hampered by legions of fans on 56K connections, Epic made the decision to limit the download size to 100MB. Now that's a hefty chunk of data to be sure but by the standards of today's games it really isn't a lot. Some things had to be sacrificed in order to make it under the 100MB bar. High resolution textures were probably first onto the chopping block, followed by extra player models and a Domination 2 map.
The end result is a Demo that is not representative of the retail game since so much has been left to the imagination. The final game features 35 Levels, a plethora of character models, superb high resolution textures and that all important extra play mode."

Personally I am not impressed with the demo at all. So far it seems like the original title but with better graphics. I have yet to be convinced that my time and hard earned money should be spent on this title. What do you guys think about it?
