so far the consensus is that neither the PS3 nor 360 versions are as up to snuff as Ea's other more recent titles... (nor PES) frame rate and control issues allegedly.
here's a thread on it with varying opinions on both versions

Best part of the FIFA demo is the playable loading screen. Way more enjoyable than the game itself for me. I can't get enough of it. If the full game has some sort of game mode that kind of fleshes out that concept I will buy it.
The actual game itself has frame rate problems and the graphics don't look good when the characters are LODed down real small.
As for the Tony Hawk demo. I am a huge Tony Hawk 3 and 4 fan. I really had high hopes for really advancing the franchise. Sadly the graphics are just awful. Aliasing is everywhere, and the animation still looks last gen.

I'm starting to see a pattern here ... all the EA games have pretty good framerates actually during gameplay. But each and every one of them have framerate issues in the non-gameplay / replay sections. Not to mention that the games look pretty good in gameplay, but not at all that good in the replay sections.
I like the 'loading screen' on FIFA too. It's the same with NBA.
Demos are piling on pretty good now ... !
I was thinking of making the same observation. But then I realised the three I got this week (Fifa, Harry Potter and NBA) were all from EA. So I'm cautiously optimistic that the upsurge will continue but I won't be surprised if it's sputters a bit longer.
I had a few posts about the differences between the 360 and PS3 demo version of Stranglehold. It seems that they were deleted. Could a mod comment on their deletion?
I 'd really like to know the reason.
I hope I'm not looking for them in the wrong thread...
Mod's Reply : This thread has to be limited to notice of the demos available on PS3. If people discuss here every game that gets mentioned, this thread will become a single compressed mass of what the entire games forum is for! Talk about each game in its own game thread.
Comparisons are okay if you're sensible about it and are being constructive. If you want to do comparisons between platforms, just observe the differences in software. We won't let the talk roll into mindless banter about which platform is better or not, or how lazy developers are at ports etc. As comparison threads normally degenerate quickly though, they tend to get pruned early.

Thanks for replying.
You are right. It was the wrong thread to compare the two demos or even mention their engine...
And although my intention was to simply say my oppinion on the particular game, it could degenerate into mindless banter.
Now, having said that, how was I supposed, not to do it again? I think that the deletion of a post should come with a comment... Otherwise noone will know what went wrong.
IMO a PM should be enough.

im interested in skate and Sega Rally personally. kind of wish we got the NBA 2k8 demo rather than the always mediocre NBA games by Sony.

wasn't very impressed with the Rally demo. i think DiRT looks and plays better (meaning the controls, not the framerate, both have pretty solid framerates). it just felt like you were gliding too much and its too much of an arcade racer if that makes any sense. one thing i liked about the visuals over DiRT was there is less aliasing. but for arcade rally racers, i still think MotorStorm is king. it doesn't feel like you're gliding around corners, it actually feels like you're driving through dirt and/or mud. in Dirt/Sega Rally, it almost feels like playing RR7.
exactly
it's supposed to feel like RR7. It is pure arcade racing... I am having more fun with the SR Revo demo than with DiRT when I owned it for a month or two.
oh and trust me.... rumble in the controller makes a difference going through the deformed mud.... upcoming ShockAxis for the win.
