Is it as ridiculously hard as the demo makes it out to be?

Or have they got the handling just about right after they changed it?

Should I get it, or wait for Juiced which just looks more.... fun.

Burnout 3 was too EA'd for me to stomach for very long.

Midnight Club 2 didn't interest me offline and I haven't played 3 because 2 was such a letdown, I think LA Rush will be more to my liking.

Some of the non serious racers are good offline. I'm still enjoying Midnight Club 3 and Burnout 3 was fun while it lasted. All the serious racers I've owned though have been fun for a couple of days and then the boredom rears its ugly face and they feel like a chore to play.

Hmmmmmm.

Aside from the vehicle issues it seems like a solid multiplayer experience.

Single player sounds poor.

If you liked Toca Race Driver 2's realism, you will like this game.

Its like Toca (realism) + GT (upgrades) + PGR (fun and addictivness) + NUF (customisation).

If Black Hawk Down is anything like the PC version, avoid.
Single player, the AI is terrible - both for your squad and the enemy, no tactics involved and they refuse to follow simple commands like "stack up". Asking them stack up outside a door results in 2 walking in, crouched, and refusing to shoot people less than a foot away from them.
Multiplayer was awful as well, just the standard shooty shooty with bad aiming and dull sand levels.

Forza? Haven't played the demo, but they handling is spot on. Lots of aids you can turn on or off, at the cost of £ rewards and I haven't spun out yet without being bullied by the AI. Which is superb. To see AI cars not always following the racing line 100%, smacking into each other and even spinning out is a refreshing change.

I'd avoid BHD like something really average personally.
