Mines been going about an hour and has only done 60%. I think the MS servers might be being hit pretty hard. Hate to think what it'll be like when America wakes up

Strange, I thought the opposite.
I've never seen an arcade game with so much telemetry information available. You can't customize cars in the demo, but everything from brake bias, camber, torque curse etc will be changable in the full game.
Only had a quick go so far, but I'm liking what I've seen so far

Lots of comments on the forums about jaggies and 1st gen damage, one can only assume it's a rushed demo.
I'll however reserve judgement until I've played it myself..

I don't understand why they'd risk releasing a duff demo.
Although to be fair, the Test Drive demo was rubbish, the actual game was much much better!

Well, I'm playing it on a 42" plasma, and I've not noticed anything dodgy with the graphics yet.
The damage does seem a bit simplistic, but apparently you only get full damage when playing in full "sim" mode so it's difficult to judge from the demo.

Jaggies were the first thing I noticed , at over 100" you can see them on the cars a lot.
Otherwise the game feels great and the wheel works really well with it. Good demo , just hope they sort the jaggies out

I'd say they've turned down the graphics a little to ensure hitting a guaranteed 60fps in the demo. I thought it played great, looking forward to trying the wheel out with it later.

Deja Vu.
The exact same thing happened with Forza. THe demo was utter pants, the handling was all over the place, cars were ****e.
Then the game turns up, and whadyaknow, it's the best thing in ages.

i think its OK for an arcadey style game
the brakes seam a bit sharp with the abs turned off, i would expect them to lock up with the trigger right in, but they seam a bit keen in the road cars, sliding the M3 about is quite nice when you get it right
FWD cars are boring
Legacy does not like rally style flicks much
demo cars are far to easy to beat, unless i missed a difficulty option

I think it feels pretty realistic as far as console sims go. Turn all the aids off but leave the ABS on as its pretty much useless without it. It generally could probably do with a bit more grip as it seems to slide very easily, especially on turn in
Its a game i will be buying!

They definately have turned the AA off in the demo hope this is put back on in the full game. The jaggies are annoying now ive noticed them, easily noticed on my 37" LCD.
Seems okay though, havent cancelled my preorder, put it that way.

Man this game is soooo utter sh!te.
Graphics crap, gameplay boring and not very involving or realistic.
Also all the american cars are much better than the rest.
Going by the demo I wont waste my money on getting this game.

I thought the graphics were great, (still not noticed any particularly nasty jaggies) the racing seemed to have pretty good AI, and the handling is certainly a lot more realistic than any other console driving sim I've played, (including forza1, pgr series, GT3/4 etc).
Not sure how you can call it boring. It's a racing sim pure and simple. If you don't like racing then why even bother downloading the demo? From what I've been hearing, the online multiplayer is looking superb as well. Will have car clubs for racing against your mates etc. Think we may have to set up a scoobynet club
I'll certainly be getting the full game...

Having played it again its grown on me a little but the Gran Turismo series is still superior.
The graphics are disatrous, PGR3 graphics are much better than Forza 2 and that was a launch title, never mind GranTurismo HD making all games on the 360 look cheap other than gears of war!

Why don't you sell your 360 and get a PS3 instead if you hate it so much

Liked the demo but I think you need to turn all the aids off to appreciate it a bit more (except maybe ABS).
Loved the Sagaris, thats huge fun for drifting, out of the final corner full throttle... yehaaa!
Is this the final version of the game? or just a preview build?
I think some of you guys expect far too much, every game is going to have it's flaws at the end of the day!
