Demos aren't pointless in all situations: But, I think it would be fair to say that Metroid Prime 2 won't stray very far from the type of gameplay that was in the first Metroid. Personally, I don't want anything to do with the Metroid 2 demo. I can't wait for the game, and I just feel that every bit of gameplay I don't play now will be much more enjoyed later. I feel that way with Halo 2 as well. I also felt that way with Warcraft 3.....I could have beta tested, but I was so excited about the game, I just said no. Demos can help new players decide if they want or like the type of game, but some store demos are fairly limited.

If you haven't played Metroid Prime, and you don't intend to play it before the release of Metroid Prime 2, then go for it and get the demo. =/

If you're renewing your Nintendo Power, then it's a good deal, but if you're subscribing to Nintendo Power just to get the game........I don't know. I like my EGM.

Nintendo Power isn't really all that subpar, I guess. It's just a tad bit biased, and I like some decent console debates, even though I'm no fanboy.
