Went through twice now, absolutely loving all the changes they've made. Vanguard is extremely fun with the addition of Nova, and the sound effects of everything really pump everything up. My second play was as an Adept, but the way the demo is laid out forces 4 weapons on you so the recharge time is too high to get much done without comboing off the squad. The first segment was really quick, made it fun to mix the two powers you had.
Also, the Kinect stuff is actually really impressive. I thought it would just be throwaway stuff, and I would never say salvage, open door, etc. or say things over the dialog wheel, but the combat commands already added a lot at the Atlas fight the second time through. I was rolling around avoiding shots I was able to tell Liara to use singularity, garrus to overload, use my mapped commands to throw grenade clusters, and getting to heal by saying it. The entire fight went by without a single pause to the power screen, which made it seem really hectic and fun.
I'll try it again tomorrow on Insane, I can definitely see the game being a lot harder compared to the previous two. I haven't been watching any footage of the game, and I'm very happy right now.
