Forums - Microsoft - Dirt 2 demo is up! NHL 10 demo is up!

What are your guys thoughts?



It's just that simple.

It's downloading now. I'll play it when I get home.

Can anyone confirm if it has avatars in it?



Dirt 2 didn't have the avatar dangling from the dashboard.

The gameplay seemed ok but by no means a leap from Dirt 1. I'm sure multiplayer/online is improved but whatever.

I am happy to report the game did not seem to have under a 30fps frame rate as it was stated before, however, I did notice the frame rate die here and there when I crashed into a corner or two.

It's like Lost Planet 2 in the sense if you loved Dirt 1 you'll probably like Dirt 2.

Personally I am hoping for another Rallisport Challenge so I'll have to pass on this one.

Haven't tried NHL 10 yet.

The avatar is in there. It's under the customize options for your car.

NHL 10 demo is amazing. They've slowed the game down, I'm not 100% sure if they've removed certain stick movements, or just removed them for the demo, but you can't goal line or do the curve shot anymore. The board play is amazing and the fighting system is fun, but I hate it because I'm not any good at it. Even though you only get to play 1 period of BAP for the NHL Entry Draft, I still got 1st overall, but that's because I'm a boss. :P

Dirt 2 was boring, don't even consider it with Forza 3 so close to release.



Dirt 2 has beautiful graphics but I don't really like the gameplay. I only downloaded it to see if Codemasters were telling the truth about the graphics.
