Force Unleashed Demo on PS3

What a crock...

I downloaded this demo onto my new PS3 and played it. I was sort of enjoying it too. Tossing droids through windows, slashing lightsaber moves, even doing a few sweet combos (more out of luck than actual planning though).

Then I get to the boss fight (fight an AT-ST) and what happens? I'm told to hit a button right on time or get smashed. Then hit another button right on time or get smashed.

The fact that I worked on my combo moves, Force powers, or lightning attacks means NOTHING when you get to the boss so long as you hit the button I'm prompted to hit right on time like some sort of Pavlovian dog.

If that had happened in a game like Doom where you have to just hit a button at a certain point in time rather than rely on your side strafing or rocket jumping to beat a boss there would have been howls of anger from the community.
