How do you rate the Mass Effect 3 demo?

It is everything I hoped for, and I am naming my firstborn ME3, fo realz.
It's a lot of fun, but I really won't be able to tell until I get MY Shepard into the game.
Who the hell put multiplayer into my game?!? RAGE!
I'll still buy it, but the demo's really lowered my expectations.
I am going to track down Ray Muzyka and where his skull like a hat (which means I hate it, by the way).
