It's big, still downloading it (XBL dl's have been sorta slow for me, especially during E3)--I'm at about 90%, will post impressions in a bit.

882mb, not huge--but a lot bigger than the Lost Planet demo..aparently has offline/16 player online in the demo..96%

Well I spent a few minutes with the demo and I'm pretty impressed--the graphics are pretty, the light model reminds me of PGR3--very detailed bikes/riders. Textures are ok--could use AF, but looks decent enough in that department..the game runs at a fairly quick and consistant framerate (mostly 60fps it seems), although I did notice a couple of SMALL dips along with a little screen tearing, it was nearly perfect..

There are two tracks in the demo, and two riders--one set for online, one for offline--16 players. There's one race track and one city track (tokyo)--the city track is nicely detailed. Won't really comment much on handling right now--but it seems to have a pretty nice control scheme..

Overall I dig it..I plan on picking it up when it comes out..

16 players for the XBL mode btw.

No lag on live whatsoever. Even playing against 15 American guys(UK)
Won one out of four. Had to stop because on the last lap of the last race.
Some guy genuinely asked what button you had to press for breaks (he had already done 3 races of 3 laps) . I nearly pissed my pants :D ... great fun .

OMG that was me.... i joke but i am as bad as that..

I swear i never been so bad at a game in all my life.. first race i must of fell off like 100 times, then i realised your supposed to use the left stick to accelerate/decelerate..

I'm not too impressed with the graphics, but the no lag is really good..

All in all i don't think this game if for me cause i suck so bad..

The acceleration is waaaaayyy too sensitive, i'm not used to playing games with such sensitive controls.

Yeah thats right it's the games fault.. :S

Not like cars. you have to be smooth, front break little back before the bend, back in it, smooth acceleration out, then hammer it ..repeat each corner :)

I just downloaded the demo and think it's good enough. The graphics are very nice but could certainly look much better. I did not notice any framerate problems at all, I did however, notice a lot of ripping? What is is called when the screen is cut by a line that goes througout the screen? Well that, way too much of that.

The shadowing and the overall lighting is the best of all. The bikes while looking good, I did notice some little faults. I noticed the chain connected to the rear gear in the "extreme" bike didn't even move, I was dissapointed for that.

The environments are fairly well detailed, yet the crowd on the side is still 2D. Oh and I did not notice the "boring" envrionments Blim likes to talk about.

Enough of graphics. I do think I'm buying this game if the "screen cutting" (i just can't remember) is solved by release, because that frankly did bother me. The gameplay is what I expected, MUCH refined from GP3 and back to its GP1 roots. You can fall from the bike much easier, which I love. And the gameplay itself is just solid and way more GP1 style. I did not try it online but supposed it works just fine.

Now, I'm not expecting big scores for this game (mostly in the 8's range) as it frankly is just a port, BUT I do recommend it for those who didn't buy GP3 as this game is THE REAL GP3. Other than that, I do think this game is more of a 50 bux game, not 60, but I'll pay them anyways, and they better start to work on a REAL next gen title in the series :D
