Goddamn, can I hold off downloading the demo and just wait for the game... probably not.
The two single player level demos I thought were pretty great. I liked the first game and was kinda whatever about this one coming out, but I'm sold for at least the campaign.
Played multiplayer a bit, every lobby seemed to consist of one team that was hardcore, knew what they were doing, and obviously played a lot of the first game. I was never on that team, so I literally couldn't even figure out how to really played because my team was always getting utterly donged on. Great.

Seems a little faster than the first game, MP wise. There are some framerate issues. Scientist seems overplayed and a little OP. Auto-aim is really high and kind of annoying.
Played the 2 demo levels; seemed like pretty standard scripted, linear levels. Didn't do much for me. The MP is pretty entertaining. Played a bit of Deathmatch and Conquest (or whatever it's called). In Conquest it seemed like you hardly ran into people and everybody just spend the entire match running towards the next territory to capture. The territories are way too far from each other to properly contest them. You can just capture one and run towards the next one and continue doing that the entire match without too much opposition. Also, unless you have a jet/helicopter there's no reason to turn into a vehicle. The cars aren't exactly fast.

you can't pick up weapons in the demo, but I have seen weapons left behind from defeat players, so I assume its just not in the demo. Also, vehicle abilities are not present in the mp (barrel rolls, quick 180s, ram, quick boost etc. I recall them in the campaign section, so they may just not be in the demo. No kill streak bonuses either, but since it still keeps track of streaks I imagine they'll be in the full game. Host migration is nice to have, but stopping the game for 2 minutes kinda sux to ne honest. Great demo over all
edit - the camera is too close to the scout class in vehicle mode....like resident evil 6 close

Yeah, the host migration process kind of sucks. It takes a a while and it seems to want to erase my stats half the time.

Can you make a custom Transformer in the demo? That is the most exciting part to me.

I am so ridiculously excited for this. I can't even explain it.
Been playing the 360 demo a a bit and really liking it, the shooting feels really good and the game looks a lot better than War for Cybertron, will probably pick this game up. Demo gives you 2 stages (one Autobot, one Decepticon) and MP (regional matchmaking option, yay). It's enough to get a good feel for the game and make me want more, this is a how a demo should be done.
Yes, most of the parts are locked in the demo. I did see parts that could be unlocked, highest one I saw was level 6.
I'm really hoping it's just an old build. The demo levels are super fun but oh man is it rough around the edges graphically =/
All sorts of texture pop in, tearing, terrible aliasing. Great art direction though, if you can see what they're going for through the blurry, gauze-like filter. The music is excellent though, really love the soundtrack.

Playing the single player demo levels, I just want to say that
Other than that? I'm liking it, going to test out the MP shortly.
I'm tired of Hasbro's mandate of making Bumblebee a mute/speaking in beeps because of Bayformers...it's ridiculous.
I know when I played the game's multiplayer at the Comic-Con event, I couldn't figure out how to pick up dropped weapons (and it was driving me crazy). So maybe, indeed, that's no longer part of the game? (Really sucks if so.)

If it's as big a balance issue as it sounds I'm sure they'll address it, I hope.

Had a lot of slow loading textures and screen tearing on PS3.
The campaign missions were cool, but I think the removal of co-op campaign really hurts this game. I thought it was one of the best things about WfC and as of yet I don't see a good reason they took it out.
Expected a little more out of the character creation too, especially the colors.
I guess I'll still buy it but I'm a little less excited than I was before I played this demo.

Yes, you can change your head, Chest/Vehicle, Shoulders, Arms, Legs, Wheels, Decals, and armor set. Different types influence how much robot speed you have, how much vehicle speed you have, and your total health. If that's what you were asking. Also you can change the colors he wears for the Autobots and Decepticons, and how his voice sounds(so far from three different types for each.)
