According to Official XBox Magazine, all demos that were released with XBox Live capabilities weren't all smash hits. Some demos can increase the games popularity for its future full release if done well, but if done poorly can backfire drastically.
When a demo is done properly, it can create a lot of buzz around an unheralded title. The early days saw Fight Night Round 3 stun 360 owners with its sharp visuals and crunching slow-mo knockout replays.
Later down the line Civilization Revolution, Lost Planet, Bioshock and Burnout Paradise all had stellar demos that did a great job of selling the game in question.
Sometimes it's too easy for developers to fall into a "here's the boss, now the demo ends" trap. Unfortunately, some developers tend to fall even further. Here are the five most disappointing demos, all notable for the fact that they've turned people off the game rather than onto it. They might be free but sometimes, you get what you pay for...

The only good thing that came out of the Hour of Victory demo was that it let people realize how bad the game was before people spent money on it.
at first I had mixed feeling about the game, But then as soon as I played the demo my mind was made up.
Shame, cause there's an achievement where you save "General Donnelly"
