It was a pretty short demo, but I'll try to be as in depth as I can.
The demo starts off with Samus finding this planet in her ship. As she goes into the planet her ship gets hit by lightning or something and she crash lands in a space pirate base. From reading the text from some stuff I scanned it seems like the space pirates have found another source of Phazon in this planet or they created this planet with Phazon. Something like that. There's 2 versions of this planet. One is the normal one and one is the Dark version. The space pirates are continuing their Metroid breeding operations here. Also, there's going to be a Zelda 3 type light world/dark world thing going on. The map said this was the light world.
As soon as Samus got out of her ship the first thing I noticed was all the attention to detail. The textures themselves don't look much (if any) better than Metroid Prime, but there's a lot more going on in the environments. There are spider webs on the walls and what looks like Phazon leaking out of some walls. There's also little dragon fly type bugs flying around that you can't attack. Aside from that the only thing that really stands out about the graphics are all the particle effects. They are doing some really cool and trippy stuff here. I'm sure most of you have seen the light cannon. It shoots rainbow lasers!
Oh and things are highlighted in a light blue color if the can be scanned now. It looks cooler than a little square I guess.
The sound was turned pretty low so, I couldn't hear much, but I did notice that they have a cool remix of the same tune from MP's title screen in this one's title screen.
I didn't notice anything new gameplay wise. The controls are the same and all the moves in the demo are the same as in MP. There was no wall jumping or anything like that. I was kind of disappointed by that. It was also very short and easy. There was also no options screen when I pressed start. What, are they trying to hide some super cool surprise options?
The coolest part of the demo was the "Dark Hunter" (I think that's what they called it), Dark Samus. She looks so bad-ass! She looks like the offspring of Samus' suit and an alien from, Aliens. I guess the space pirates don't like her either for some reason. Or at least that's what it sounded like.
The demo rocked, but I was disappointed not to see any new gameplay elements.
