You guys might not feel like me.. That's just my opinion.. You might love it! I don't know, but for me.. When I had such high expectations.. Just Wow. I honestly believe Forza 3 plays better.

I want it to be awesome!

Just added you on xbl jay.
And i think the demo is alright tbh, cars look nice, tracks and scenery look nicer aswell. Would be good to turn the shitty music off for a start, thats not doing any favours for the gameplay.
Also make sure you've got everything on simulation etc, driving is okay, seems more responsive then forza 3 such as the time it takes to go from lock to lock.

What i dont like so far is that it seems the realisticness of drifting has gone.. cars seem to stick to the road much better and when they do let go its not quite as controllable. Might be something i get used to.. not sure at the moment as the only car i have to drift in is the ferrari on the demo lol..

Also i dont like the way that the rewind button has switched places, because now i keep changing the view of the car instead of rewinding.. but yet again, this is something i'll get used to.

The feeling of speed is much improved, and also the way the car moves when you change gear is much more realistic.. such as in the ferrari you can see it's really jolted into gear.

Thats all ive got to say so far lol, im sure i'll be posting again after a few more laps

That was fucking awful. Not only does it look like utter shit (Forza 3 looks much better than this), and it has a retarded GUI, and they've changed the button layout and made it worse, and the cars handle like shit compared to the last one and they've given it fucking queer arcade credentials it doesn't deserve - wow. a "drift" or "drag" notification.. What. The. Fuck.

Awful.

What absolute bollocks

The graphics are absolutely stunning. Just the small things like the backfiring, the immense light and the scenery.

Physics are also hyper realistic. You feel surfaces change, cars like the Cougar wallow around the corners instead of just staying flat like the Ferrari. This also causes understeer/oversteer.

Everyone needs to try this and make your decision.

If this is as good as the gameplay demo's look on youtube i will buy an Xbox just for this game.

After playing it a bit longer, and banging in some not too shabby laptimes with the zonda, i think i prefer the handling. So much more responsive, feels like you're really chucking the car around the track like you would in real life, also the way the zonda backfires and shoots huge flames every now and then is pretty sick, and hopefully this happens with tuned cars aswell..

Also little pleasing realistic things, such as wheel spinning off flatout in 1st, and getting that little bit of wheelspin again that throws you back as you change into 2nd.

Oh and holdawayt the tg test track isnt in the demo im afraid.

Cant wait until this game turns up in the post though. Looking forward to see how cars take to tuning etc.

That's my opinion. This is a demo. Of course you weren't going to agree - you were always gonna love it! And for me they have taken a backwards step..

They've sold out to kinetic and arcadey bollocks.. What the fuck is the "drift" and "drag" notifiers about? Not in a sim - That's need for speed bullshit and this theme is evident throughout. I was playing with all the assists turned of and the cars just don't handle as well as in Forza 3, far to synthetic, The problem with the graphics are they are to sharp with their lines and edges, got fucked up AA, to cartoonish, the landscapes do not look natural and the cars look way to polished & colorful. For all the "the interiors are gonna look amazing"... They looked exactly the same as in 3.

And like I said - Why have they changed the button mapping? What was wrong with the setup in 3? Don't even get my started on what the 458 in the warehouse looked like. That was beyond a joke.

Don't be, its an excellent game/demo!

**EDIT**

To add, someone earlier mentioned the music. If you can stream music to your xbox then start a song and pause it (this gets rid of the music)

**EDIT**

How anyone can slate the graphics is beyond me.
