Demos you admit made you buy the full game.

What demos have you played that you admit made you go out and buy the full game on impulse?

 

[Starnerf]

I wouldn't say on impulse, but the Arkham Asylum demo convinced me to buy the game.

 

[Gralian]

FarCry: Predator Instincts.

Man, i was pissed when i realised how poor that game was. The lush jungle opening turned into a wild rabbit run through boring and linear environments with enemies that have x-ray vision.

I wasn't too impressed by Brutal Legend until the demo and Arkham Asylum's demo made me pre-order the game that night.

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

Brutal Legend's demo made me buy it because I thought it was a Heavy Metal themed hack and slash. Which it was... For the first half the game. The only video game I ever sold within a day of buying.

Battlefield Bad Company, the demo was cool but the game was pretty average.

 

[Gigaguy64]

I remember the F-Zero GX demo made me want the game.
LITTLE WYVERN FTW!

inFamous did the opposite. Actually the demo made me not want to play the game at all.
I later bought it really cheap and discovered the demo was a skippable annoying little side mission that was a really inaccurate portrayal of the game. I loved inFamous.
for me though Portal and FEAR2.

UFC Undisputed 2009. Me and my older brother would play the demo non-stop, bought the game, played it all week and never touched it again.

I hardly ever play demos (although I probably should do it more), so the only one I can think of was Plants vs. Zombies on Steam. Downloaded the one hour ( ? ) demo (where you played the actual game), bought the game when it was released, played 45hours of it in a week, completed it, then never touched the game again. It was fun while it lasted though, and worth it, especially considering the low price.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent for Xbox 360. I had a hard time finding it actually and it cost me a lot, but the game was amazing.

 

[D_987]

FEAR 2, Tales of Vesperia and Mirrors Edge.

I'm glad those demos were great because all those games are fantastic.

 

[rebelscum]

The only one that's made me actively go and seek out the game is the first God of War demo. And it was worth it.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Starwars Republic Commando

 

[Phototoxin]

Deus Ex... they gave us 2 full levels.... got to the point just before the mad plot twists...

 

[Georgeman]

I don't play demos. Especially not these days where most of them are gigabytes in size. I prefer to watch gameplay trailers on youtube. Faster and just as efficient. (can be even more efficient if the trailer in question is from the full game)

 

[Zcoper]

I experienced it with Plants Versus Zombies xD
