So, those that played the demo and now have it, is it better? I mean, the demo seemed sort of repetitive. But, everyone here seems to be giving it a glowing review. I'm reconsidering my reconsideration of not getting it now.

Like I said earlier:
I'd just like to say to everyone here, don't just play the demo and think that's enough, and that there's no reason to buy the game. There is a lot more to this game than what you see in the demo, way more. Even the simple act of killing zombie after zombie is far different in the full game, and it's a lot more tense and entertaining.

Im picking up my game tomorrow from Gamerush. I wish GR would get their games in on launch day instead of 3 days later!

Still, I'd recommend renting first, especially if you didn't really enjoy the demo. It seems quite possible to beat the initial 72-hour mode within a couple of days. For some people, that single play through might be enough, in which case a purchase might be a waste. But for me, there's enough there to warrant at least a few runs through the entire game. You can't possibly save all the survivors, beat all the psychopaths, find all the weapons, and get all the achievements in a single run through the game. The question is whether the game grabs you enough to want to play through the whole thing multiple times. If so, it's well worth a purchase, but I don't know if you can figure that out just by playing the demo version. Just my two cents.

I think the demo is enough to go by when deciding to rent it or buy it. If you like the demo, and want to kill a ton of zombies while following a storyline, and doing different objectives, then buy the game. If you played the demo and thought it sucked, or just thought it was cool but you don't really want to buy it, then I say don't even bother renting it - just play the demo over and over again.
Almost every source for reviews is giving this game a solid 80-90%. I don't believe I've seen anything less so far. That tells you that it's a perfectly fine game, great even, with one or two little problems that are easy enough to overcome so that it doesn't really get in the way of the overall enjoyment of the game. If ever there was a new and original game that you knew what you were getting into when you buy it, this is that game.

MasterofDVD: I thought pressing "Y" told the survivors to follow you. Have you been pressing "X"? :-)
Only complaint I have is that one of my followers got stuck in the fountain wher I found the uzi. Ugh! He would not jump out! I also found out later that you can give the survivors food and weapons. :-)

I heard people who have Standard TVs are complaining that the text is unreadable in the game. You should see the amount of people bitching at the xbox forums, it shows you how many people still don't have HD sets most of them probably kids.

so how exactly do you get a score in this game? I've been playing for a bit but when I check out the leaderboards including my friends list mine shows nothing.
