It's as I've just said to psymonkee, it's got potential and we are looking at a demo where you should be able to fine tune the settings to range from GT realism to Burnout arcade.
Gonna hold judgement, but at the moment, it could be good, I'll be watching this one.
On now if anyone cares to join in for some sightseeing.

R5Rich said:it looks awful! what happened to all those lovely look cars and world in the screenshots this looks shocking and i cant believe how badly it plays/handles really does nothing for me and i cant see the attraction
looks awful hardly imo maybe backgrounds aint all that but Vehicles look nice and character.
Handling takes time to get used to and hell of a big improvement since the first demo driving aid features help.
Full game going to have a lot more what the demo dosnt show a lot of people are saying there difference since the first there clearly is.
Not trying to sway your opinion but thats how i see it.
Surprised at some of the comments, the graphics are pretty good IMO and I have no problems with the car handling (the bikes are poor though).
Still looking forward to it, just hope the online play is a lot smoother and easier to get going that this demo suggests.

well i'm swayed, loved it , been playing the demo for over 3 hours so far, its great fun meeting other players and then going on a convoy of 5 racers around the demo part of island, have enjpyed some of the track layouts on even this small part of the demo. Also prefer to stick the handling onto sport settings, for me it seems i can throw the car into bends better.
just noticed a couple of the achievements which look fun
ISLAND TOUR - Win the Gold cup in the "Island Tour" challenge (i would presume this is a race round the entire island?)
EXPLORER - Discover all the roads on the island. (massive amount of driving! if it takes 2 hours to get from 1 side to the hour in real time!)

The second demo seems pretty good although to me the cars don't handle any differently to the first game (although it doesn't help that they are different).
The bikes on the other hand are far from good. (read as I can't ride it).
Only issue I had when online was the damn Americans rambling on and on about how the shifting has got 0.1 seconds quicker.
Graphics seem well the same as the first demo although I deleted it before downloading the new one so I can't compare. AA seems to be working (at least whilst racing).

I just imagine this could turn into a Sunday drive game where several members will meet up for the weekend for an hour after individually completing several aspects of the game or finding something new and going for a leisurely run around the island.
this second demo is certainly going to increase sales, it gives you a bit more but still not enough so the purchase is mandatory now!
had a race on the bike and in the f430 last night and it seemed pretty cool
still lovin it...thats the important thing

only in the first demo not in the second. Drove past it flat out on the F430 is that counts
One thing that annoys me about the garages and the home to some extent is the fact you can't walk around them PGR3 style.
That would be very cool imo

Yep was in old demo aswell its basically same part of island then the old demo but in different house.
You can go into the lambo dealer by the way.
There are 64 houses to buy in full game and all the different car dealers are spread across the Island. Also can take cars in the dealer for a test drive unfortunately that option disabled in demo.
If you want classic cars as they are rare they take a while to come before you can buy as they are rare which is pretty cool.
Cant wait for the full game got so much to do.
I'm confused about people's opinion on handling... I found it o be very good and MUCH better than PGR3 (I hated that game) which was so arcadey and unrealistic.
The bike especially is very realistic imo, except for the jerkiness if you are too heavy on the controller.

Nah, no way is the handling better than PGR3. I dont mind it in TDU, but PGR3 is sublime.
Also regarding the bike handling, I have never ridden a motorbike but if thats how they handle in real life then I can see why there are so many bike-related fatalities
