NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

My 360 just got collected and I'll lay money on not getting it back till after the 14th /cry

Why can't they just leave the demos up after the 14th?

Looking forward to trying this, hope it's good.

Rock on! Can't wait for this, but it had better live up to its hype (though I'm not exactly holding my breath).

Yea it does seem rather strange to just leave a demo up for a few days :confused:

...takes about that long to download the thing :eek:

They're releasing a demo four months before the game comes out, that's quite unusual I think? Or not?

Actually very unusual. Most demo's seem to be released months after the games been out thus far

a demo out before the game, an actual real demo? * faints *

dannyjo22 · 16 May 2006 at 18:29

I quite liked this demo, better than moto for me. I liked it better than NFMW too. A likely buy this one I think.

Davey_Pitch · 16 May 2006 at 19:29

I didn't like it that much, found the cars weren't responsive enough for my tastes. I admit though I only put about 5 mins into it, so maybe I need to give it more of a go. The premise behind it (a racing MMO game) is excellent, I think it just needs better controls and more responsive cars.

bingham67 · 16 May 2006 at 19:38

I found at first the cars to be quite hard now i have no problems find the controls & handling fine.

It was slow for me last night, it was like lightning at 3am this morning though!!

I downloaded the demo late Sunday eveing. Played it this afternoon, it tried to connect to a server at startup, failed with an error message then let me continue in offline mode. Was online play available during during E3?

Datamonkey, downloads seem to take ages for me too on an NTL 10Mb link too. But downloads were fast on Sunday night, got 3 in less than 30 mins. TDU, MotoGP and something else.

You wont break your 360

Its the game code thats unstable, not a hardware issue.

bingham67 · 16 May 2006 at 21:24

It was only crashing on Multiplayer on offline i have had an occasional crash though pretty rare.

Edit: I say crashes but its not that dramatic just screen freezes and got to reset.
