It looks nice, but compressed. Also, it's not as amazing as people led me to believe. Its difficulty feels kind of cheap at times.

It's much better on the Vita. Saying that, I haven't played the 'playing with shadows' level on Vita, that level is incredibly retarded.

And I don't know what they were thinking when they compressed the audio this badly, no way am I getting this now

@mintgreen I think it might be because it's a demo. It would make more sense that way since MGS 3D and RE revelations both had compressed textures. I believe good people died was also compressed in japan's demo

I reserved Rayman earlier today, then came home to find out the demo had been released. LOL!!
Anyway, the game doesn't look bad to me. Obviously things look a bit small on the 3DS' screen when compared to playing on a TV or the Vita... but it doesn't look terrible, and the 3D is nice, though a bit subtle.

@LegendofSantiago not talking textures i'm talking audio. MGS audio was fine in the demo, I don't have the retail game but I can't imagine it being any better. Nothing screws a game up more than crap audio, not even poor frame rate (edit: when comparing similar levels of deterioration in frame rate and audio).

When I picked this demo up, I was excited for this game. Now after beating all 3 levels I'm not. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that the compressed graphics and audio were probably a product of it being a demo, but the 3D was barely noticeable, and everything looked crappy because everything being so zoomed out didn't jive well with the 3DS's resolution. Hell, even the cheap Rayman 2 port they had at launch had a decent 3D effect, although I'm not surprised, since this IS a 2D game. I didn't mind the difficulty, but I was hoping they would alter the graphics a little bit to make it look nice on the 3DS's screen. I didn't get the console version because I was waiting for more details on this, but I think I might just skip this and pick up the PC version.

^This. I loved the wii version. But I actually hated this demo
