@brutallegend on twitter was handing out beta codes for the demo yesterday. I managed to snag one for the PS3 and I have to say that I’m thoroughly impressed with the game. From the incredible opening sequence to some deliciously squishy combat: I’m in love.

It’s pure Tim Schafer, of course. The writing is just dynamite – and the delivery (by Jack Black) is mint. The hellish world of Rock is entirely believable. I found myself overly jubilant and even a little giggly as I played through.

The worst part of the demo was that it ended. Rocktober is going to be freaking fantastic – it’s a cruel world that sees both this and Uncharted 2 released on the same day.
