: I too was luke warm on the demo. However I waited for the ENhanced CD 
: version. All emails are digital voice. Lots of extras... Plus you

I'll second that - I was not impressed with the demo AT ALL! However, after
reading all the great reviews on the game I decided to get the enhanced
version. WOW!! SVGA is still a little choppy (even on my P90) but the game
itself is astounding (and I'm only on level 3). Get it!
