A new low in Star Wars games — Page 2

I’m Han Solo, I’m Han Solo, I’m Han Solo…

 

And you know what the odd thing is? I've been singing it like that, with the fake lyrics, since I first heard the song months ago. They stole my balloons idea!!

So I tried to see if I can download a free demo of this thru my xbox. Interestingly, there is no free demo. Since most xbox games seem to get a demo, I wonder if they knew this was a stinker.

Star Wars guitar hero rip-off?

I'd say no more than half of Xbox games get a demo.  Kinect Disneyland, arguably one of the best Kinect games (er... for kids) has no demo either.  And Happy Action Theatre, the actual best Kinect game, does.  So there you go.

I saw the entire playthrough of the Han Solo dance on YouTube, and of everything I've ever seen in my life, this is the one thing I wish I could unsee. But I cannot.

What system(s) was Demolition on?

It's also on Dreamcast.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't get the appeal of V8 or Demolition...just seems like Streets of Sim City to me, with much smaller stages, and without the terrible music.

Due to my limited experience with xbox, I'll grant that probably only half of the games get demos. But there is a demo for Kinect Disneyland; I downloaded it. It does seem like most of the major releases get demos.

Hmmm... looking for a way to still be right here...  hmmm...

Ah, here it is...  So, there is a demo for Disneyland... but it came out in February- four months after the November release.  So it didn't have one upon release, or when I bought it in December.  

I don't think any of the Halo games ever get demos, and I think most Call of Duty games eschew demos as well. 

This is all somewhat academic, however, because I agree with you.  This seems like a game that should have a demo, unless they're afraid it would have a negative effect on sales.  

However, the comparison to Disneyland is probably a good one.  There's a built-in fan-base that will purchase the game based on the subject matter alone.  They'll buy it with or without a demo.  After all of those units have sold, there is another segment that might be won over with a demo- if the game is any good.

Hopefully we see a demo in a month or so.  I know I won't be buying it any time soon.  I doubt a demo would change my mind, but I'd be happy to try it out.
