I also had a problem with targetting when I first started playing the demo, and I complained vociferously about it! But you know what? By the end of the demo, I was having no problems at all!
I think it's just a learning thing - it doesn't quite work how you expect, but once you've been playing a while, it all becomes second nature and seems quite natural. Really, I had no problems by the end of the demo.
That was my experience, anyway. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
