Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning's demo is available on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, it's pretty huge and allows the player to begin the adventure and play for more than one hour, and unlock items for Mass Effect 3. The full game will be released early February on the three platforms.

If they can patch the pop in issues or resolve the issues for the final product then I will definitely buy it and recommend it to anyone.
Side note.. Stripped down females are some of the nicest looking female character models I've seen yet in a game. You can tell the artist took his time with that and thoroughly enjoyed it lol
Only thing I really hated was the lack of character customization, its horrible compared to Dragon Age 1/2 and Skyrim.
Has some issues as well. The second time i played the demo i skipped all the cutscenes which i guess didn't give the game enough time to load in all the content, because for the first 2-3 minutes my character had no head :P
I also didn't like the combat animation. People were saying "like God of War" but as a 3x over God of War fan... NO it wasn't! Kratos has that slight delay in combat on combos, not on animation or movements. They didn't get that GoW feeling any more than they captured the Fable feeling.
Finally, the music was bland. Not memorable at all. The voice work was pretty good- no complaints there and I am actually interested in the story, so kudos there. I like the customization of my character and armor, but I HATED the clunky interface procedures each time I got new stuff!
We'll see how I feel after Skyrim and Dark Souls are done, but likely I'll be too close and WAY TOO ready for Mass Effect 3 to care much about KoA until I see it price dropped later in the year.
The forums i frequent seem to be as devided as it is here. Most people seem to dislike the demo.

No.
Have you specifically counted every user and made a poll or what? lol funny opinion.
There are alot of people who like it as well, its hard to know how many likes and dislikes there are, yes even those who dont even post on forums and just lurks or dont care about them.

Keep that arrogant attitude out of here.
Jeez.
I've played through the PC, PS3 and 360 versions and although I can agree that the console versions are not so pretty, the PC version is MUCH nicer to look at. The difference is quite noticeable. I do think this will be a great game and have high opinions of the demo overall but like I said, the extreme pop in issues destroy the experience for me and will keep me from buying it. I can see this being an easy fix for the PC even if they have to do it with a patch later, and if they don't then that is inexcusable for most PC gamers.
Honestly though, the demo was so dull that I could only finish the initial tutorial - didn't even bother to carry on when given the freedom to explore as I had absolutely no motivation to. Combat is very mediocre (especially considering that it's supposed to be the game's 'main attraction'), visuals are bland, customisation lacks any sort of depth... heck, even looting things wasn't fun. I predict very, very average review scores and sales.
I'll stick with Skyrim. :P
