Played the Demo of this on PS3 just now and it's actually pretty good

The graphics are top notch, and the cars look and sound amazing. The cokcpit view is quality too.

The handling isn't that realistic tbh, but it's realistic enough to be fun.

Might be worth a purchase!

ive played this and compared to gt id say it was a hard choice between the 2. The grid game has damage and is way more realistic in that way and is fun to play,a bit like toca 2 on the ps2 way back and i loved it then and still do!Gt5 seems to have better car handling dynamics but ive gotta say i think i prefer grid.Defo on my buy list!!

I found GT tiresome. It's too polished, where as this is much more fun and a bit silly.

I used to love playing that. Working as a team on 2 player was so much fun. I was always the Audi's or Honda's, and sometimes the Renault's.

the drifting is fucking hard though till you get the hang of building up the combo meter.And i couldnt help but smash the car up as much as i could then try and drive in a straight line.It was trashed but didnt go forwards at all,just sideways!!lol

Been playing it tonight on the Euro Time Trial

Seems a good game, back to the old TOCA days with better graphics etc, drift was a challenge and a half!!!

I gave up on Forza after less than an hour. It's so tedious.
