The graphics are great and look the same as the shots released for the most part--I had to adjust my TV settings a bit until things looked more natural. The damage is really dissapointing IMO though. I didn't really get a good sense of speed from the game, but maybe that's because I did a race with each car in order starting at the Mini so it was too gradual of a difference between the cars or something. I wish they would have gave us a bit more, like another track at least, as the demo is quite boring as is. I also d/l'd the Dirt 2 demo and was really impressed by it. Both games are worth a look for sure.
