We haven't played through it yet (our severe obsessive-compulsive disorder would force us to stop every 30 feet to use our economy-sized Windex and paper towels) but we're looking forward to hearing what you think. Just, you know, wipe your feet first.

Another great demo available for 360! Hey, how many demos does PSN have anyway? Hopefully you get one for every major game coming out like we do on Live... so that might give you, what?...5 to 10 total? ahahaahaha

Wow, second post is already a rip on PSN... insecure there buddy?
I'll download this demo over the weekend. Warhawk Beta starts today, I just came off a three week run of Motorstorm, and everytime I jump on Live, I get five messages asking why I'm not in Halo 3 from my friends (to which the response is "Shotty Sniper" sucks)

Boys, boys... let me settle this for you:
Xbox and PS3 online suck equally.
Friend Codes FTW!

this game saved me from buying a PS3 (for now. I really enjoy off road racing and motorstorm almost had me. Thank god for DIRT

I like this demo. Definite purchase.
@3 - Yep, it is arcadey, but I never considered previous McRae games to be sim like either.
I think this is a nice direction for the series to take. Good job Codemasters! Now lets have a 360 version of TOCA Race Driver!!

I just played it this morning. I don't remember an online mode being available.
As for the race modes, it seems to be a nice mix. When I selected the rally car, I was put on a time-trial asphalt circuit track but when I selected a buggy, I was put on a dirt track with other buggies.
As for graphics, it looks amazing. Think PGR3 Rally! The graphics and animations look much better then Mottorstorm but without the over-the-top burnout type crash sequences (you can flip, crash, wreck, and dretroy just about everything).
THE GUI IS AMAZING!!

Wow I was interested in this game but that video...so nice. The crashes look amazing. I love Rally racing but the last two McRae games were a bit of a disappointment. The physics seemed really off in a couple ways that really bothered me. I'll be picking this up but I should really try the demo first.

PC demo is out as well, not that joystiq cares about PC. :P

OMG... this demo is awesome. No multiplayer, but 3 events (one cross-over [1 vs 1], one hill climb, one 10-car CORR buggy race) make this download totally worth it's while. The graphics engine is very nice, and the physics are very well done too (including awesome force feedback support on the 360 Wheel). I'll be happy to have Forza 2 next week... but I'll be even more happy when DiRT arrives mid-June.

Oh dear, I hope they put in an actual multi-player mode, not just this time trial score bullshit.
Demos great.
