| right looks the dogs do dahs smooth as silk , ive played 12 players online some good races some froze and thru us out not worried about that codies always sort the online out.
as for handling very very arcadey the touring cars for me are shite to twitchey and you drift them all the time the musle cars feel the same as for drifting i still dont like it but when you get a drift workin its a good feeling.
but i loved it even the touring cars yes they dont handle like toca but it was great tight racing and put a foot wrong and your off.
so after my high then oh its no toca this is the game to own this year .
drifty baby its a comin.

| | If ya do the time trial ya can win a beemer if ya get the best time. Choose the euro circuit. Best I can do at the min is 1:18:? World Best is 1:17:? Surely someone on here can do it?

| I wasnt expecting this to be as arcadey as it is. Im in two minds about getting it or not, even with a load of games I want to trade.
Its actually a hinderance to lift your finger off the accelerator, even when breaking, just keep the accelarator to the floor and keep going.
The drifting is....confusing as hell, too twitchy, no idea how the computer opponent managed to get 300k when I got 100k....
It does look superb though, the graphics are amazing, but under them...pretty mediocre game from what ive played.

| | had a quick go of this this mornin and it looks lovely, the tracks are very detailed & the car models are realistic. The damage is excellent with debris left permanently all over the track. As for the handling it it on the arcadey side, but don't forget this is only the demo, I dont know if any of you has hosted yet & the simulation can be adjusted. The full game might be different. Hopefuly a proper session will reveal it' true potential. the handling is way better to say, GTA4. also, graphicaly, it knocks spots of a game like GTA4. the multiplayer element seems to have been better thought out than other games, GTA4 springs to mind. the time trials are way better than most games, especialy GTA4. the tracks have been designed with the race fan in mind, unlike GTA4. the lobby is very easy to connect to and looks nice, GTA4 was lacking in this department. you can tweak your suspension settings to the nth degree, why was this omitted from GTA4? overall, Race Driver Grid has raised the bar for racers, GTA5 is going to have to be very special to overtake it, not that i'm comparing it to any other game...

| Downloaded this when I got home from work and had quite a few goes at it mainly in the race mode as I cannot stand drifting with the wheel due to the handbrake needing to be on a button (hard to reach when you have both hands on the wheel and you need to flip your gears too). The AI is abysmal frankly - I know this is only a demo so maybe in the final game it'll be better but I had more rear-enders and sideswipes as the AI just didn't seem to know my car was there - it makes racing the AI frustrating to say the least. I'll be honest here and say although I have this on pre-order I am beginning to wonder whether it's going to be another single player racing game I have like Forza 2 became. The problem is that the touring car racing is a contact sport - now, given Codemaster's track record for problematic netcode the thought of rubbing paintwork with another player online just doesn't appeal to me at all. I can see the same problems with this that stopped me from playing Forza 2 online - lots of contact and lots of crashing as a result. The game looks great and plays very well with the wheel - the single player game has a lot of appeal to me - more than the online game actually given my already stated reservations - but the AI needs to have improved by the time it's released. I have it on pre-order and will have a completely open mind about it when the time comes - I'll try it both online and offline in the full version before I pass judgement proper.

| judging by the session I had with Chas, Spenn, Dante, MG(keep your accelerator pressed down) and Blibby last night bumper bashers are out in force! It will be much better online when we can host private rooms, getting rid of the dickheads who deliberately ram you off the road on a straight.
There are a couple of issues for me, one is when you are going down the big hill with the jumps in San Francisco, when you get to the bottom there is a sweeping right handed and as you break a little then turn in the car goes into a violent shake but doesn't slide off, its as though the cars on rails, not very realistic. 2nd, the drift is for me a poor aspect of the game, but each to their own. 3rd, when a race finishes you get total time showing but not your fastest lap, so even if you come 2nd or 3rd or wherever there are no bragging rights, this is a huge omission from a racer. That said I am looking forward to the full game and more tracks and cars and private rooms...

| Hey, keeping the accelerator down works! When there arent 10 other people to navigate/on single player 
Plus, I didnt say dont break, its just that on both courses theres no corners where you cant go round them with accelerator down - break/accelerate at the same time, but to lift off accelerator completely while breaking is a hinderance.
Im going to go with my initial judgment of it, it looks pretty, damn pretty, but thats about it.
