Boy, that's a bad texture right there. I doubt it'll be a Wipeout or F-Zero, but given that I can't play either on the 360 I guess it'll do. I'll give it a shot soon, I think my 360 is on its way back :D.

This thing has had a weird development period too. It was one of the first PS3 games announced and here it is on the 360. Hopefully that's not a horrible sign of the game's quality lol.

It's a really bad screen of the game and from what I've seen in videos, it seems like you're moving so fast that the game blurs every thing directly around you anyway....

So I'd not really judge it entirely based upon that.

That's not fair...Burnout 3 and Revenge had lousy textures for the systems they were on. I always found their environments to be bland looking when I was stopped or crashed. The focus of this style of racing game is on motion blur and particle/explosion effects.

I don't really like the controls, it feels like your controlling a paper airplane rather than a heavy metal spacecraft.

I played it. The graphics aren't as bad as those in the picture, they're actually quite decent. But after playing it, if I were you, I wouldn't waste time downloading it, and it's only 380mb.

Graphics are fairly average and the game is just dull - no sense of speed, mundane course design, and lame music (to be expected)

I'll be checking this out soon. But i gotta say based on the Video Isaw from E3 it looked like it was seriously lacking a cense of speed.

Also, Id like to say I think its Bullshit that demos can clock in at almost 2 gig in size but a Live Arcade game has a max of 150 meg? WTF guys come on. With a game like Marathon taking almost 140 meg to have, it has REALLY sunkin my hopes of higher caliber games on the Arcade like say an hd remake of the Duke. Is the 150 meg limit have something to do with those core system bitches? Seriously think about it, when U buy content in the Market Place it registers it to ur console not the HDD. Why? Is it so those guys without the HDD can redownload thier purchases each time they power up and wanna play them? If so, Im really tired of being held back by these non-memory loving corupt data get thier foot in the door and leave it there 4eva bargin shopping coupon clipping cheap assholes!

Although I personally prefer futuristic racing games on a track, but whatever. Demo is only 380 megs, so you can't go wrong in downloading it.

Wow. For 800 points it might not be bad but for a Retail version it sucked. No sense of speed, screen tearing, horphic pop-up every where, and textures that pop in an out. Not a good game.

Just played the demo for 20 minutes before I couldn't take anymore.
Lame course design, crappy weapons, and generally bad gameplay.
I was hoping for a wipeout killer, and I got something... much worse.

I don't care how good the game is or how good it looks, FRAME RATE IS IMPORTANT! I AM SO FRUSTRATED AT DEVELOPERS THAT THINK 15FPS is ACCEPTABLE IN A GAME!

Dear GOD!!!! WTF... seriously, optimize your damn code. Gears of War looks way better than everything on 360 and it has a very consistent framerate, even in split screen it's consistent.
