grr,really annoying having to wait longer for hte PC DX11 version, oh well will try this on my PS3

same here but the dx 11 will be worth the wait, only issue i have with the ps3 demo is i can't set my G25 to 270 degrees to hard to play an arcade when on 720

Enjoyed the demo, although I can see the banter between drivers getting annoying. In fact it got very annoying very quickly in the brief demo. There better be an option to turn it off.

Apart from that, presentation is superb and having puddles splash your windscreen really adds to the experience.

Having just played the demo i have so say i am slightly disappointed.

I know this has been mentioned loads of times but i really do not understand why this is a "Colin Mcrae" game, surely it would have been more appropriate to have called it "Ken Block Dirt 2" as it seems he is the main "character" in the game.

Yeah it does look good the damage physics are pretty good but its just not the same game it used to be. I miss the sense of weight you got with the old Colin games.

All and all it will probably be a good game,unfortunatelly it is not what it says on the box, its not really a rally game and it has nothing to do with Colin Mcrae.

As previously mentioned i will be getting my WRC fix from GT5

Well judging by the recent preview, if you like rubbish damage implementation go for it

I thought it was brilliant, its an off road Race Driver: Grid basically, very 'american' for a Colin McRae game though......

I didnt play Colin Mcrae rally because of the damage system. I like to keep the car of the various walls/rocks/trees etc..

I guess im just someone who believes that a Colin Mcrae game should be about rally. As the previous poster stated this game is an offroad Grid.

I mentioned GT5 because it is the only alternative to play real point to point rallying, plus it has the WRC license so all the cars and drivers will be present.
