Depends where and how hard you hit things. I've collided with several objects and other vehicles, and the car has continued to run fine. Other times, I've had one collision, and the car was a write-off.

But these are supposed to be realistic speeds, and I think for the most part, they are. However, if you read the review, it states that the demo really does not do justice to the final game, which is much quicker.

Anyone tried getting to electronic boutique yet?
its say in the mag (the page with the demo's controls on it) that you can get to electronic boutique as a challenge.

Going to try and get the mag tommorow. I want to play on the demo before I consider pre-ordering it.
Cheers for posting the OPSM2 review summary Wookie.

No Nath, it really does have both in. Look if you don't believe me. Although I have tried it and couldn't find it due to the vague directions and my lack of London knowledge.
