Is the finished version of Q4 better than the Demo?

I d/l'ed the demo and it seems like a decent game but some things look really wierd like the character's faces and half of some doors look all black. I have a 6800gt with 7.8.0.1 drivers. The driver is a bit old but not bad. Is the finished version a bit more smoothed out?

Download the latest nvidia drivers. When I played it on my 9800 Pro, it ran perfectly with no apparent glitches.

it was playable outside and looked ok to play the experience and not the graphics, but once it crashed, I wasn't in the mood to try and figure it all out just for a demo

Full version is longer! :D

Game is pretty good, especially inside and on foot. I find the vehicles are kinda crappy, but they work and give the game some variety.

I'll get the new drivers. I won't get the full version till christmas. I just bought FEAR to tide me over till christmas since I just got out of school and have nothing to do. Well almost nothing, I"m gonna learn Dreamweaver 8 this break too.

I just played the demo, and really liked it. Hopefully it's no Doom3. :( All dark and just 'peek-a-boo' scare tactics.

Has anyone beaten it? How long is the actual gameplay?

It's average in length, theres about 4 boss battles IIRC. It doesn't have peekaboo scare tactics.
