Is it me or is this game actually looking like it might be a lot of fun?
Played the old demo which was too realistic and that sucked really badly so it totally put me off the game. But apparently the handling now works very much along the same lines of Project Gotham 2.
E.g realistic enough but not so realistic that it makes the game dull *cough* Gran Turismo *cough*
The customisation options are insanely detailed and the online game looks to be 10 times the game Project Gotham 2 ever was (which was quite a game in its own right).
Think I'll go pre-order it actually.

I'll have a looksie for the demo if you like. Can't guarantee anything as I chucked a load out before the house move

If your talking about GT4, it's a pile a poo sticks until you turn off ASM (anti spin management)I believe. With that gone the car turns the right way into corners :). I hope forza is good as we've waited long enough for this title. I just hope they refrain from the ultra shabby arcade layout present in most mod-based driving games
Ps: Anyone got a demo they don't need, I'll pay postage?

Personally I much preferred the original PGR. The sequel just didn't do it for me somehow...
If this is anything like PGR2 then I'll be buying it for certain. Loved PGR2. It was one of those games that kept me coming back for more. Some of it was a pain in the ass but it was such a rewarding game. Forza looks pretty decent. I'll probably pick this up next month.

OXM are a bunch of spackers though so I'd expect no less.

I know they fill the disk up with old tat when there's nothing new, but I was under the impression it was a new demo. It seems a bit stupid to me to have a demo that doesn't represent the game particularly well, especially in the edition that they actually review the game in!

I haven't read the review yet, I'm basing my opinion on playing the two races in the demo.

Having been let down by the demo, I'm retaining reservations about this game. As with Juiced, although I haven't played a demo of that.
I think a rental will be most likely, followed by a purchase if I'm impressed.

The new demo isn't a new demo at all, it's the old demo that was on OXM a few months back. OXM often use old demos to fill up space on disks when they have lack of new games.
Juiced was alright but all that stupid using your pager to arrange races and nonsense would get on my nerves after a while.

I played the new demo with this months OXM and to be honest, I couldn't notice any difference in the handling.
Personally, I'm going to get Juiced, as it just looks more fun, and you can play it without Barry-ing up your car so it looks like something you'd see down a McDonalds car park on a friday night, unlike NFSU...

I'll probably buy it since I've been chanting its name when in racing game mode for at least six months now.
