Demos are usually a chopped down version of the game, whereas trials are the full game played for free for a limited time.Crimson Starfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764422983380987864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544986590661740950.post-23174434494780638282008-07-16T14:17:00.000-07:002008-07-16T14:17:00.000-07:00Games that never really end like MMO's and that ha...Games that never really end like MMO's and that have heaps of content have a good reason to do demos. I think I agree with Chappo though. If blog review and news coverage is good and word of mouth is good I tend to buy things. I Don;t require the company to make a demo of their game tho and sometimes if I play a demo of a non-mmo I get tired of it and don't buy it like the Worms demo. Which is a mistake cuz Worms (the 2D one) is really fun.Thallianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906461308866998300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544986590661740950.post-31702050713310701292008-07-14T18:12:00.000-07:002008-07-14T18:12:00.000-07:00No, I don't really like demos a whole lot.

I prefer reviews which give you everything you need to know; screenshots, videos, and extensive coverage, these unfortunately seem pretty thin on the ground nowadays though.Chappohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236383885476322791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544986590661740950.post-5579820964669183332008-07-14T16:45:00.000-07:002008-07-14T16:45:00.000-07:00Demos are good... if your game is good.I played Wo...Demos are good... if your game is good.<BR/><BR/>I played World of Warcraft for 2 weeks before I started paying for it. Same for Lord of the Rings.<BR/><BR/>Now that I'm thinking about it... all MMO's offer a short trial period. They've got nothing to lose, do they?Antonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12470259020714818820noreply@blogger.com
