==================
I loved the demo! It's really fun being a Racer and Cops are ok for me. Maybe I'm not doing the Cops parts right with all the blocks, etc.
And the autolog is a really neat feature. I've got one guy on my friend's list whose played it and I beat his record easily on one of the race tracks. It's not complicated to look at either which is really good.
The graphics and controls are really slick and responsive.
I might have to pick this up next year or so.
