best graphics in a free game or game demo

Reaper 392 · 5 May 2011 at 22:28

just wondering if anyone knows of any games that have stunning graphics that i can get for free (even if its just the demo)

i currently have crysis maximum edition (although just playing the demo because i have no DVD drive to install it with) and a not working demo of colin mcrae dirt 2 on steam (when i click play, it just goes to the buy game screen)

also tried GTR2, but that really needs a steering wheel, which i havent got (just got xbox controller)

im really not fussed about genre, but a driving game would be nice

thanks for any suggestions, and sorry if this has been brought up a thousand times before

If your showing off what a PC can do to friends etc then use the free AMD(ATI) or Nvidia demos depending on what your graphics card make is as those are designed to do exactly that. As far as game demos go, I'm not too sure to be fair.

free Nvidia stuff was poo

was just some rocket sled going through utah, or similar looking scenery. went too fast to see the scenery, and the scenery itself was incredibly boring

crysis demo was way nicer

You could try Need for Speed World if it's a driving game you are after it's free to play with a shop of some sort.

already got NFS world, and to be honest its not even as good as forza 3 graphics wise

just want to say thanks for recommending the hunter. gameplay is good enough for me to not quit out in two minutes, and the graphics are breathtakingly good... just a shame im useless at it
