I think I'll stick to PGR3, as someone stated above, the graphics are nothing special, the character model in particular is fairly basic, which is ashame because you can only see his hands on the wheel 99% of the time and they look poor, hopefully gloves will be available on the full version. The motion blur is kind of cheap, I think PGR3 again got it spot on, seems a bit over done here. Graphically project gotham is better, and in my opinion its more fun to play because you can go a lot faster.

Dont be too judgemental guys, this is just a Demo and not the final code - afterall its not out for another 4ish months

Jabbs · 8 May 2006 at 19:27

Its ok nothing special though, lets hope the final game is better.

True, I wonder why they released the demo so early? Was it just an agreement by Microsoft to try and get the average Joe 'involved' in E3? Also, its the same for lost planet demo, which is out tomorrow!

Who knows, looking fwd to Lost Planet though

My Test Drive Demo keeps cutting out at 68% and restarting back at 60...and repeat

slambo69 · 8 May 2006 at 19:34

Have you had that problem before? I've heard of people being unable to download demos before, just as you describe.

McDaniel · 8 May 2006 at 19:35

nope been downloading fine before

Woot its just got to 69%

yay

Just had a go and i'm very impressed......Handles well, great sense of speed and it looks great......Lost control at one point, flew off a hill and accross about 2 other road junctions sideways :eek:

MouseMat2004 · 8 May 2006 at 19:44

Just had 2 goes on it, Lambo first which was awesome. Spent a minute on the road then the next 10mins off road looking for jumps and seeing how fast I could go down this big hill without hitting a tree

quite a good sense of speed. handling needs work but apart from that it isnt to bad. The Selby GT500 sucks! could hardly make it up the hills and was pretty slow.

Not bad for a very early tester.

Kainz · 8 May 2006 at 19:47

I tried to go offroad into a massive pool and got insta-plonked back on the road

Also tried charging into a roadblock but got insta-arrested by some hottie blonde!
