Do I sense a hint of sarcasm? But yes demos are free but take ages to download.

It was DLC on Forza 2.

But yeah, F2 is the only racing game I can play for longer than 10 minutes without getting bored, so I'l be downloading the demo asap.

One more pointless post and you'll hit 10! Go on, you can do it! :rolleyes:

Well I downloaded the demo as soon as I got up and as it turns out, I don't really like it, nothing feels to have been improved, although the graphics look stunning.

Same, I was expecting a big improvement but the only difference i noticed was the graphics

I like the simplicity of the demo, that's great and how all the other demo's should be.

Thought the game was rather average to be honest, the AI happily move out the way for each other when it comes to over-taking but all too frequently I was stopped by a barricade of cars preventing me from getting any overtakes.

Don't think I'll buy it tbh

[ItsDave]

I don't think I'm going to either, might just rent out Halo 3 ODST for a week lol.

The AI is very pleasant to you, and seem to gain speed if you choose to make the difficulty harder. I liked the way you could change everything to suit you on the setup of the race apart from the laps, would have liked to do a few more and it was nice to see the VW Scirroco in there :D But the driving still just doesn't feel realistic, aloung with physics. If I'm going up a hill and theres a short barrier, chances are I'm trying to launch myself off of it and theres an imaginary wall. I've managed to flip my car but only with a struggle. I'd prefer GTA IV to play that this as a racing game.

I haven't downloaded this yet. I think I've only played one of the Forza games in the past - either 1 or 2 on the old Xbox. I thought it was brilliant though so I'll look forward to this tomorrow :).

The physics of flips arn't exactly good, id rather them not have flips than have it shockingly crap

[Black_Apalachi]

I've played this now.. I haven't really played any others from the series but it doesn't seem anything more than Gran Turismo 3? :S Fair enough, I imagine if I looked back there would be an obvious graphics improvement but in terms of driving itself, there's hardly a difference. Crashing would be the only minor improvement but that's only because Gran Turismo didn't have the option.

Races don't even load quickly. I at least expect the 'Restart Race' load time to be quick.

The 'rewind' feature is nice but otherwise its not that wow :/

[Jordy]

The 'rewind' feature is nice but otherwise its not that wow :/It's alright, but the Grid/Dirt 2 one is far superior, cause it's so much powerful you can choose the exact split second you want to restart the race at. I couldn't help but feel the Forza 3 rewind feature was a bad rip of it.
