From oxm.co.uk:

When a demo is done properly, it can create a lot of buzz around an unheralded title. The early days saw Fight Night Round 3 stun 360 owners with its sharp visuals and crunching slow-mo knockout replays.
Later down the line Civilization Revolution, Lost Planet, Bioshock and Burnout Paradise all had stellar demos that did a great job of selling the game in question.

Sometimes it's too easy for developers to fall into a "here's the boss, now the demo ends" trap. Unfortunately, some developers tend to fall even further. Here are the five most disappointing demos, all notable for the fact that they've turned people off the game rather than onto it. They might be free but sometimes, you get what you pay for...

5. Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
4. Sonic The Hedgehog
3. Turning Point: Fall of Liberty
2. Too Human
1. Hour Of Victory

The demo was okay but only the control suck really bad. And the cutscene kinda fake like that. That's why overall it suck. laugh.gif

for a game that's been in the development for so long, it was surprising how sucky it was. what the hell was Silicon Knights were thinking when they decided to map the sword control to the right stick?

i think they never played games such as Rise To Honor and Death By Degrees. both sucks really bad thanks to the combat moves being mapped to the right stick.
