mmm, dont know if i was one of the first few in-line to download this, but it took all night believe it or not, and iam on a 16 meg line to, aghh well,

can i just say iam from the uk, and the cmr series has been my all time game, play it to death and iam quite good at it,CMR 2 is still to me the definitive and best racing game ever made, and is still on my system today and played regular.

this to me is my biggest game i have been waiting for since getting my 360,

well what can i say, truly fantastic, and a certain first day buy for me.

ONLY thing iam not sure of and that is the motocross/motor-storm game, just seems to hit and miss for me, like you can have totally no control at times, which for any racing game is daft, still looks great though.

but the rally game player in me likes it a lot, and to be honest the type of online play spoken here is something i can finally get my teeth into and hopefully actually compete at a decent level for a change.

to the folks who are moaning at frame rates and stuff...jesus what kind of life's do you lead.....for on theres a magic word at the end of the title of this and you know what that is......DEMO, so bloody stop being so pedantic and enjoy a cracking game.

there is absolutely nothing wrong with this demo at all, and i would not even be bothered if this came out tomorrow as it is now, far to many folks are losing the mid over frame rates, and graphics.....jesus your playing a games machine...go play games instead of nit picking.

do you think the wii players are moaning about graphics now, no there enjoying there games.

Open your flaming eyes Kinglink, this is an widespread issue concerning Europe only (offcourse).

It is no user error, it's MS not caring about European customers as usual.

Just read the flaming posts on this very page and tell me that all these people are doing something wrong all of a sudden while they have had no problem downloading the Forza demo last wekk for instance.

Ignorance is bless I guess.

I got an amazing download of this last night around 11, no wait, straight, maybe you guys should check if the problem is on your end. Blaming Microsoft for crappy connection only works if it's on microsoft's end and it's not.

I finally managed to download it after 24* hours :p

the demo is great, much better than Forza 2, they should've selected a different track for Forza 2 demo the one they used is empty and plain. if the other tracks are the same then they should stop the release and fix it ......

Took me maybe 45 minutes last night to download it. That was with the PS3 update and some stuff downloading on my PC at the same time.

When are you going to fix this MS, this is eally getting out of hand!

I'm paying big money for a service that lacks terribly!

And why is it always us Europeans who have to pay the price for MS's lack of proper organisation!?!

Thank you MS, thank you very much!

I'm currently at work, but I can't wait to get home and download it with my 0.4Mb/s "broad"band connection. Usually I download over night, cause it always takes several hours. We got faster DSL connections here in germany, but I live in a small village and so I got something called "DSL-light".

But at least its better than dial-up ;-))

Any more news on this problem Major?

I know it's only Europe so not a priority, but it'd be good to know if there's a problem that's going to get fixed?
