Would you rate a demo?

Hi all. I was wondering would you rate a game demo which you've played recently. Im talking about on gamespot or any other sites. Do you think demo would be enough to rate a game. Or would you only rate a game you finished instead. I usually write a review for the games i beat (finished). But for the games i played one stage (level) or ext. I only quick rate it. But I don't know about demos, that's why i want to open this debate. Let's see what you people will say about it.

i would never rate a demo. its a DEMO. a taste of what the real game will be like, sometiems it turns out completely different then what the demo was like.

You can rate a demo, but like previously said, it does not mean that when a demo sucks the end product will suck as well. However this is usually the case.

Like take for example the new demo for FIFA released recently on PSN. Sure the graphics still miss a little crisp (I mean the stadium, spectators and some places on the field) and they took out the biggest part of the sound (like commentary) so the download size is smaller, but these can still be changed 'easily' for the full version and so that doesn't bother me and can't be rated as final in a demo. EA also gave the gameplay a big upgrade for this new version. And what they call improved AI, I call lobotomy at grand scale and this is not going to change (allot or at all) in the final version.

But back on topic. A demo is what it is a "demo". It gives you an impression of the final game, but it can not be Representative for the final product on all it's aspects, but of course this depends on what kind of demo it is: a demo 6 months before the release or 6 months after. The demo 6 months after release is actually the final game and that can be seen as the final game.

Of course just my 2 cents.

Like some games for example action adventure games always get better once you keep playing them. So demos always wouldn't be our final desicion to rate it i guess.

And other thing i would rate the demo if I really didn't like it and if i knew i won't be getting that game or playing it. For the demos i liked and will buy the game i would wait at least until the end o the game. Or even if Irated them before i would change the rating after if it is necessary. This could work as well.

Sure I'd rate a demo. Not on a scale of 1 to 10 though. Either good or bad.

If someone rates an entire game based of a demo that is just stupid.

When I rate the games in my collection I wait untill I've beaten them unless the game is horrendous and I can't stand to play through it, in that case it would get a terrible score from me.

i would rate a game ive rented, but not a demo

well in my opinion a demo is everything to me, if the demo catches my attention then theres a big chance ill get the full version, but if it stinks, why bother? i say that games are a lil too expensive these days... and to spend $65 bucks in a game that i didnt even like the demo, its just a waste of money and time... because lets face it after you open the game and take out of the store such as eb games and such the value of the product goes down almost 58% of what you bought it for... so demos give you the opportunity to say hey i didnt like it, why buy it..... thats my opinion and yes ill rate a demo not to a scale of 1-10 but a good awesoem, bad or stinks... easy as that :P anyone agrees?gioiscool2

yep :)
