Has anyone tried this? There's a demo on XBLA, but I think the cars feel "lumpen" and unrealistic in terms of responsiveness and the first mission feels far, far too scripted.

Just wondering if the game has more free-form play outside of this demo.

It reminds me a lot of The Getaway on PS2 with the cars feeling very heavy and unrealistic.

I tried the demo out on my PS3 recently and pretty much feel the same way about it. I won't be buying it just yet. I did like the Getaway though.

I played the Getaway right through to the end - the first game I'd done so with. So it's not entirely criticism to say it's like that.

However, I do expect progress in terms of car physics.

Played the demo of this today.

Ok for 10 minutes, won't be buying it!

It's a good laugh for what it is. Not everything has to be a similator style game! In fact most, if not all rim racing games are actually dreadfully boring.

I thought it was a poor mans GTAIV and it's had some very negative reviews.

Reminded me more of Need For Speed Carbon but less boy racer.

I still haven't beaten the last race in that. I think I chose a bad car.

Have to say, i never finished it. Then again, i've never finished any racing games.
