Had a look on xbox live this morning, no sign of the demo I was hoping to sneak in a cheeky half hour before work - no joy though

[TangoAlpha]

Forza 3 demo

[Rusty1]

i want to get real internet in my flat doubt i could even find a way to download the demo on a interweb dongle then put it on usb and over to the xbox grr

[Crimson_Killa]

I thought it was 'alright' but a bit too much like GT now for my liking, it seems to have lost some of the realism. all of the cars feel too well planted maybe its just that i dont like the cars in the demo but first impressions wernt good.

[siztenboots]

is there any online play in the demo?

No mate it's a very limited demo.

[Rusty1]

are the rest of the cars and track visible? so that you know what you get in the demo? knockhill?

[RichieK]

Had a half hour blast on it before I went out last night.

First impressions were good! The graphics aren't miles better - the cars and backgrounds look a bit more solid, I think it still runs at 60fps IIRC.

I played it with all of the assists off, the handling seemed more realistic in my opinion. The weight shift under braking seems more severe.

The in game 'rewind' feature is pretty cool, but it does feel like cheating slightly. On the plus side it will put an end to those really annoying moments when you loose a 25 lap race on the last corner

knockhill?

You get to chose from about 6 cars and only one fictional track which looks a little too 'arcade' for my liking - the scenery looks too amazing to be realistic. You get to race against a load of other cars, including a Porsche Cayenne which seems to be pretty fast round the track

I didn't like the sound of this feature when they announced it but I think in reality it will be worth the loss of realism to fix exactly that! I used to get so pissed off after winning for 18mins to lose it on literally the last corner due to lack of concentration


Too bad I'm only xbox live silver so I can't get the demo til next Thrusday

First impressions very good. Tricky without driver aids but really rewarding when you get it right (see poor lap time below!) Managed 1:03:623 using the GT3-RSR, top 3% but still almost 6 seconds off the pace

Have got the leaderboards to use as a comparison though see who is fastest

Just got my time down to 1:02:629 with the GT3-RSR.

Fastest time is 0:57:886! Must try harder

Nice one

I'm down to 1:02:020 now. Eyeballs are still hurting from playing last night though

These might help....

I'll hopefully get some time to play it tonight.

I'd be very happy to get under the 1 minute mark, never mind 00:57:886

In the demo I've got you can only do a 2 lap race with other cars. Is there another demo out or something??

You can compare lap times at the end of the race by going into the leaderboard.

I'm not sure what the deal is with the You Tube clips - they seem to be on a 1 lap timed run??? I must have missed something too.

[TheStotts]

Unlimited free laps

You can also select the ghost for the fastest lap, funny seeing it fly into the distance

Nice one makes sense now.

Never got a chance to play it tonight - maybe tomorrow night.
