Got mine today 
game itself is cool but the multiplayer aspect has a few flaws,no way to find friends like on motorstorm and u cannot make private rooms 
and no way of locking cars and filtering auto gears or manual as the manual players are always gonna kick the auto gears players butts ,netcode is fine though shame is limit of 6 players but thats not the end of the world i guess.
Had few good races on the tracks i knew but then was lost as tracks i havent unlocked were played then i fell to back of the pack all fun though

No but the PS3 does have "rumble" PAD support for when sony release the new controllers pads later in the year.

Even i was suprised you could make private rooms.. not sure why this is
But its all duly noted and maybe they'll get added in a patch, if you ask very nicely Awesome, that's what pips the versions for me.
Think ill still get it on the 360 though. What was the lead platform if any?
Josh
I disagree, i find it a lot more fun, it might be harder to correct the car in some cases but damn thats part of the wheel experience. I havnt compared times each way or even attempted to assume one method is faster than the other though.
Why dont you like the wheel?
There wasnt.. it was developed on PS3 and 360 almost 50 /50, Sorry if that dosnt help

Anyone care to post your time? It took me 100 seconds to do the first track. The top score is like 35. I must be rubbish.

You need to give it more time and then see. Also playing the full does make a big difference.
Too late now, deleted it
I know that demo's can sometimes be different to the final version, but if I can't get on with it as a demo (which they should already have the fundamentals sorted out) then I won't buy it.besides, PGR4 is out soon

Fair enough but the environments that weren't in the demo - Arctic and Alpine are amazing. The deformation really comes into its own on the later tracks.

Im thinking of getting one of these wheels are they any good?! Ive never used a wheel on a console before?
Sega Rally is awesome, the more you play it the better it gets. Sure, it's a simple arcade racer but that is the point, and it works brilliantly. Besides, it does have depth, perfecting the right lines, knowing when to initiate that slide, taking the best line through the deformations etc. etc.
I think the graphics are lovely too, there are loads of subtle effects like the tyre tracks filling with water, the way the mud/gravel mixes with the snow when you have gone through it, the way the cars get covered in mud that actually looks 'wet', then gets washed off when going through water. Infact, the more I play it the more I like the visuals, I'd take them over DiRTs dodgy framerate and weird gold/brown hue any day of the week.

You are right its a much better game than dirt there are no framerate drops or stupid bloom which spoiled the graphics in dirt.
And online its much better racing against other cars instead of just a leaderboard telling you what position you are in.
Surely then, as a demo is a marketing and selling tool, they should put the best looking levels and environments into the game, look at Bioshock, the first level is a big "Wow" which makes people buy it.
Same here, downloaded the demo and wasnt that impressed by it...but i would say it was far better than Dirt imho. Now looking back on this thread, i might pick it up at some point when its a bit cheaper or maybe trade a few games in for it.
