CodeMaster's photorealistic engine is awesome. Played all 5 races in the demo and will be reserving my copy soon. Grid should be renamed "Drift"

wow, very pretty. Actually a bit more fun to play than Forza 2 for me, but is definitely not a "hardcore" driving game, but as long as its fun, who cares? Dirt was nice too, hope to see more good rally games for the 360. I kind of miss Rallisport Challenge from the original xbox.

Wow. I was simply blown away by this title. I almost dismissed it as just 'another racing game'. I'm VERY glad I try every demo that comes out or I would have missed it. Graphics? Stellar, especially the reflections and lighting. Control? Very tight, not exactly GT5 realistic, but FUN. Rewinding time to correct mistakes you made in a race? Amazing! This went from a Meh, to a MUST BUY. I've played the demo for 3+ hours so far and can't put it down.

So far, not impressed. Me and a mate were testing the demo and whenever i put the car into a corner at an INSANE speed with no actual chance of getting around intact, the car just went around the corner. I know its not meant to be a simulator (there are games that cover that section of the market and do it very well) but i was expecting it to handle somewhat like an actual car would...like PGR, not a sim, but equally, provides an awesome race.

I am however willing to keep an open mind and will give it a chance ;-)

From Major's Twitter:

"Finally watching the latest Zero Punctuation. As usual: brilliant. about 7 hours ago"

The best part? When he talks about the current generation systems being balanced, and he mentions the dream system, he holds up a Commodore 64.

Damn right.

XBox 360 - The Machine That Could Do It All. In 1986. Ah, The Memories...
