» Great game, LMAO look at the poster below who wrote everthing in caps lock and then make out he has a 360 LOL
Amazing game, sadly the usual PS3 posters have arrived on here(starting with the One who wrote everything in caps lock look at what he said LMFAO) because yet another outstanding game has arrived for the 360 and they dont like it.

It's gonna be sooo much better than Gran Turismo 5, which is still the same game as GT2 on PS1 with better graphics.

I was able to download it before work (only took about 20 minutes - it was a 600-700mb file) and race a few laps.
First impressions: The graphics aren't quite as polished as I'd hoped they'd be, but from what I hear from the pitpass reports is that the graphics are constantly being fine tuned until it goes gold.
The physics are still dead on. One thing I absolutely LOVE is the real time readouts of certain characteristics of the cars behavior (tire friction/heat/etc. etc.) WHILE you are driving. No more having to wait for the replay. You can now superimpose all that information in real time so you can adjust your driving. Excellent addition in my book.
Also, the sound still seems really good. I thought it was great in Forza 1, and this one does seem to raise the bar a bit, but my sound system is now 6 years old so I might not be able to pick up all the nuances.
The demo does work with the wheel...and those of you that bought it will be glad you did. It behaves much smoother than in PGR3, and while it'll still take some getting used to, I certainly prefer it.
Overall, the demo is really solid. So far I'd give it an 9/10

» EVerything is perfect and the readouts are amazing
Easy the best driving game ever and this is just the demo!, the 64fps makes it amazingly smooth, no slowdown nothing its just amazing, I would give even the demo 10/10.

» I'VE JUST DOWNLOADED FORZA 2 DEMO!!! WOW!?
AFTER WAITING MONTHS IN ANTICIPATION FOR WHAT WAS PROMISED TO BE A "GRAN TURISMO BEATER", I'VE JUST DOWNLOADED THE FORZA 2 DEMO.
I'VE GOTTA SAY I'M VERY DISSAPOINTED! JAGGIES GALORE, NO MOTION BLUR OR SENSE OF SPEED, NON EXISTANT SMOKE/DUST EFFECTS, NO LIGHTING EFFECTS, EVEN THE SHADOWS HAD JAGGED EDGES! OK SO IT'S RUNNING AT 60FPS AT 1080I, BUT I'D RATHER PLAY A PHOTO REALISTIC GAME RUNNING AT 30FPS. (I MEAN ANY MOVIES NOWADAYS ARE RECORDED AT JUST 25FPS AND YOU CAN'T GET ANY MORE REALISTIC)
I'D RATHER DUST OFF MY PS2 AND PLAY GRAN TURISMO 4 AND WAIT FOR PGR4 BEFORE PARTING WITH £50 FOR THAT DROOL.

"I MEAN ANY MOVIES NOWADAYS ARE RECORDED AT JUST 25FPS AND YOU CAN'T GET ANY MORE REALISTIC"
are you in grade school or something? frame rate applies to video in an entirely different manner than it does to realtime rendered graphics. 60 fps is nice for games because most are "twitch" style where inputs have to be read and responded to in the shortest amount of time possible. obviously nothing meaningful to the player can be accomplished until the draw method is called each cycle. the number of times it does is your frame rate. higher is better.
movies are shot in 24p because it produces the soft look that film is famous for. video looks "fake" because it is interlaced + running @ 60hz. that fake look is what you want in a game (detail, contrast, sharp defined edges).
lower framerate is never better than a higher one, regardless of how shiny the cars are.

I spent three hours downloading this (wtf marketplace, this should take 30 mins for me tops, Double Dragon also took 30 mins and it's 24 MB) only to be disappointed. Graphics are not NEARLY what they said they would be, and now that the game has gone gold I don't think it's going to change much. Handling feels really poor, maybe I just suck at racing games but I have to bring my car to a near stop to get around the first turn of the course , no amount of braking lets me go around it smooth without crashing into the wall with an RC2 car or whatever, the McLaren

» Your right!
You do suck at racing games. I spanked the demo with 4 cars out of each class including your "RC2 car or whatever" with all the assists turned off and it was smooth as butter with 0 penalty time. By the way, handling is SPOT on perfect. The only thing that you said that made any sense was the bit about the graphics, not as good as I anticipated. Way too many jaggies, but other than that this game rocks. Go play Auto Modelista or some other *****ty attempt at a racing game, that way you can drive into a turn at 160 mph and not expect to crash.

» Pathetic PS3 owners on this post its just embarrassing
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THE POSTERS STARTING WITH THE REALLY INTELLIGENT ONE WHO WROTE EVERYTHING IN CAPS LOCK LIKE THIS ARE PS3 OWNERS.
They really are sad arnt they, why dont they go wait for a decent driving game(about 3 years time) for the system they chose instead of trying to for some weird reason try to put people off a game because its not on their system?.
The demo is just amazing by the way 360 owners.

Really dissapointed lads. Gonna save my pennies and wait for PGR 4 - It's not a driving simulator but 10 x the fun in my opinion.
Why release what looks like a pre-beta demo a month before release? Very poor & embarrasing PR.
