What a wonderful argument.  Anything that someone tries to make money 
from means it's bad?  Good grief.  Especially since Locomotion is so much 
less expensive than most other new games.

And it's TTD, not TDD unless you're talking about a telecommunications 
device for the deaf.

But really, the demo is a very good indicator of the game.  If you like 
the demo, you'll like the game.  If you don't like the demo, play it 
another couple of times until you do, it's apparently an aquired taste 
for some :)
