I'll be downloading the demo, but I'm extremely skeptical with this game. Especially after the first game, and what I've been reading about the graphic novel so far. More than likely this'll only end up a rental for me.
I know what you mean. The first game wasn't the greatest, but at least it sounds like they're learning from some of their mistakes (I got that impression anyways from that one IGN interview). I was always concerned about the story, but I haven't read up on any of it yet so I can't really say anything about that.
