This game is pretty sweet. I just downloaded the demo last night and played for a few hours. The visuals are gorgeous as expected. With all the assists off, it doesn't feel arcadey at all. I really like the "manual w/ clutch", and it's funny how you can "die out" for a second. What surprised me was that if you press left on the directional pad, the game shows you the drift points you're accumulating. And apparently there's a mode called "Team Drift" on Live. As of last night, I ranked in the top 1% in drift and time on the Leaderboards, which looks pretty cool, even though it's out of 560,000 people
Oh yea, what I thought was weird was that if you use the Evo X, the car that gets up front of the pack is a Cayenne Turbo. As I got closer I thought, "No way that's an SUV. It's just a really high A4."
And yea, when you use the California, there's a yellow SS...with a GT500 trailing behind the whole time, lol.
After playing a lot of MC:LA, attacking corners in a proper fashion was thoroughly refreshing
