Demo is out people!
Much better than i expected, lots of fun, and it has a very difficult, yet rewarding feel |

Which cars are available in this? The WRC is a bit thin on variety at the moment so what else is in there besides the Focus and C4?

Not too bad, it'll be interesting to see how this stacks up against the latest version of Dirt and the rallying in GT5 (which can't be any worse than that in GT4).

I have to say im not impressed at all, graphically not amazing, steering has no feel and the bloody annoying screaming and shouting co driver is just stupid!!
Damage model is not great either. Im a tad disappointed tbh On a plus note, it is tough, in car, on pro or whatever it is on manual is challenging |

To me, it felt tough to get the car sideways, then tough to get it all back in line again.

Disappointed to be honest- The cars sounded bad, the steering had no feel, and it felt like there was too much grip on the dirt...

played the 360 demo, seemed enjoyable. can't figure out the brake helps though. I use the pad (G25 doesn't work on the box, and I'm not buying an extra wheel just for it), and when I pull the brake trigger on it, the car locks up.
there's 2 assists, one use the brakes for you, the other slows the car in turns (no brake lights with this one). I'd like an ABS system, so decide when I brake without locking up |

Going into the car setup and messing around with the diff's and brake bias helps alot.

Most unbelievably awful demo I avhe ever downloaded on a PC
Stupid, rubbish, woefully bad game doesnt even recognise a G25 for Gods sake, the wheel anyone with any sense uses on a PC. Seems to me they have simply dropped an Xbox demo out onto the PC without doing any modification at all to make the game PC compatible, all the control screesn show a 360 controller and you cant select any PC wheels, just a default screen that wont let you change the configuration, total garbage. Mind you I would expect noting more from Blackbean, possibly the worst sim programmers I have ever seen in my life. Uninstalled and will never buy this trash. BLACKBEAN< if you want to sell to PC racers, MAKE SOME BLOODY EFFORT YOU LAZY IDIOTA!! |

Tried the demo on the PS3 with a pad before I set-up my wheel.
Safe to say I never brought the wheel out. I would have been happy with a 7/10 game but this is a 4/10 at best! |

Thanks JAG
Is woeful aswell on PS3, graphics are acceptable, but you can not simply pull out ofa full lock slide in the lower gears, totally unrealistic!! |

I had a go on the demo yesterday on the xbox and it really isn't a great game. When it's dirt cheep in the second hand section of a game shop I think I could get a bit of enjoyment out of it. Don't think I'd pay much more than a fiver for it, but to be honest, I don't think it will be too long before thats how much it is!
