OK I'll admit that's a fail. **** game still :D

I cant believe you got to play it before us :(

;)

My pre-order has been dispatched. :D Hopefully have it waiting when I get in from work tomorrow.

The long wait has started...

:D

Game just arrived...time to play now :s mokin:

Some quick thoughts from me. I had a couple of hours with the game yesterday.


* Sound: Great work sound technicians! I´m loving the sound of the cars hitting the rev limiter over jumps or at the start of stages.

* Handling: Not bad, but I find it too grippy, at least on the dry. You almost don´t have to use the brakes, and there is basically no point of doing scandinavian flicks, as it just makes you slower. I drove a Finland stage in the wet with the Peugeot 207 yesterday, that started to feel good. I have tried different setups to try and make the car go sideways (stiff diff, rear brake bias etc.), but it´s not working out completely. On the other hand, I really like the handling in the Gymkhana mode. Having a lot of fun throwing the car around the compound.

* Stages: Still too short for my liking, even the longer ones. Most of these are finished within 2:30-2:50 minutes, which I find too short. On the other hand, great stage design, but still a little bit too wide roads in most places.

That´s all for now.

First impression is that both graphics and sound are fantastic, as for the handling it's too early to judge but shouldn't be a problem. And yes I wish stages were much longer but we can still hope on the DLC's ;)
