They give it 9/10 and I looked at the HD movie of it on Steam last night and it looks ace. Has anyone got it?

Heard mixed things so far, some saying tried to hard to be a jack of all trades and failed. I tend to sit in the middle of the SIM/ARCADE debate when it comes to racing games. I like Turismo but I like Sega Rally and Flatout2 for different reasons so am quite tempted by this.

EDIT: Doh didn't realise there was a demo (coz it wasn't on Steam probs) will d/l tonight.

Looks good, not into racers meself unless there is the thrill of a cop chase :)

Been on GamerTV (or PLYR as its called now) for past couple of weeks.. tossers, how much of a racer can you want to know about? theres only so much you tools, bring on some new vids of something exciting I say, stop dragging your show over a few weeks with same game *shakes fist*

anyhoo, might grab the demo on live and see whats what

played PC Demo last night, tidy game, nice to see some really good damage models, crashes and smoke are cool. The AI doesn't drone race like it does in GT few of them lose it on the bends etc. Very slick front end and nice touch with the audio actually using a name you've picked from a pretty impressive list (not like Fight Night "Homeboy").

It does indeed sit in between Sim and Arcade. Not sure on the drifting races, seemed overly hard but I only had one go the races are mint though, nice touches with the tyres from a tyre wall scattering across the track and my car exploding into flames when I misjudged a bend at 200K :)

think I'll pick this one up come payday.

Yo picked it up last week ,
this game is great in my opinion . :) :D
when racing the circuit after every year ends you race in the 24 hour lemans race which takes 30 mins, which is quite awesome the tracks are faboulous and very fast times are had, all sorts of objectives to meet if poss for more upgrades to your car, i find the game very fun myself and a good diversion fron cod4 and all.
