Tried out the Dragon's Dogma demo.

I was kinda disappointing - it excels in it's presentation, but the combat is very shallow.
Every fight consisted of hammering X and Y, enemies were pretty dumb, and the bosses were incredibly easy, I was able to stand right next to the chimera, hammer the previously mentioned buttons, and I never once ran the risk of dying.
The only variation in the combat was during the Gryphon fight, where you could use a bow.

I'm hoping there is more depth and challenge present in the final game - it looks great, but everything else about it is paper-thin.
