Having spent a good hour on the demo, I can say it's a lot of fun. 2 vs. 2 can be a bit clunky. 1 Vs. 1 works flawlessly. 2 vs. 1 is a bad idea if you want to win, haha. For multiplayer (which the demo has, but I haven't used it) I hope the game will allow death matches between all four players, and a 3 vs. 1 mode. Both go against the "Team" idea, but meh.
I can't comment on much of the move list as the demo is in Japanese, and I can't read it. With that said, it was easy enough to pull off a Ka-Me-Ha-Me-Ha (which, like in BT/Sparking/RB should only be used when in close range), and a Genki Dama/Spirit Bomb. With special combos being only a bit harder.
The camera is automatic which surprised me at first (too much Peace Walker). I was initially using the D-Pad to control the camera when in fact that controls flight, and allows moves to be pulled off. You use the face buttons to attack, and block, while the shoulder buttons are used to pull off combos or switch targeted opponents, with the analog stick being character movement.
Graphics wise it looks nice, but like mentioned before, there's something off with the models. The lines on the models that were jaggies in something like Shin Budokai aren't jaggies, but are just really blurred. It's like someone used a form of anti aliasing, but not a good one. It's kind of hard to explain, and is best viewed by playing the demo. There's also a slight shade of an orangish brown on some of the models, like a spray tan or something, haha.
What I'm most disapointed in is the stage of the demo. While it is only the demo stage, I was hoping for some destructable environments. What we got were plains that had invisible walls blocking any areas with hills/mountains/bumps, etc.
Also, I have no clue what the demo unlocks in the full game. You apparently unlock whatever it is by simply starting the demo up, and having the file saved.
