Jeeeeeeeeez. Getting sooo bored of Turdburgring now, it just seems to be appearing in nigh on all racing games nowadays.

I for one am pretty glad they chose Donnington and not the very cliche Silverstone for this game!

Um, I must be spoiled by Forza because I look at the car list and go "That's It?"

Demo felt like a cross between Ridge Racer 6 and Sega Rally...which in my opinion is a pretty good thing...

Will prob get. Expect more circuits as DLC...

The demo for this is amazing so what if there are only 45 cars the graphics and crashes are amazing a must buy!!!

I might end up getting this one actually. I do agree that Nurburgring is a shitty track that I've raced WAY too many times in different games. Also a little upset about the lack of a ZR-1, STI, or Evo.

Sweet. Ive been following this game and this may be a very solid racer. Havent played the demo much due to GTA, so ihavent got much of a feel for it.

Im surprised at the large number of tracks and variations, they look really detailed so im happy with that.

On the other hand, im kind of disappointed with the car list. I expected there to be a greater variety, and at first i thought 45 would be a lot, but looking at that list, it actually doesn't seem like much.

Looking forward to Grid, but im still on the fence whether ill actually buy it.

already preordered it
and nurburgring is a great track, played it on forza 1, forza 2 and made quite a few 10 laps race on it, very fun track

Yes, This game is going to own, but i'm with the others on how Nurburgring is getting old.

Fuck yes. SPA is enough reason to buy this game.

Yeah but Master X that's a reason I would buy it. Dirt was infinitely better than Forza 2 imo.

Nurburgring is an awesome track...I did a 75 lap race on it in Forza and I still race it. The only car that isnt completely awesome in that list is the Chevy Lacetti.

Branshatch's old GP circuit route would of been nice but oh well :/

Thats not many tracks though, I hope they have all the possible routes for those tracks.

yeeeeeeees the return of SPA the best circuit in the world
famous corners such as EAU ROUGE makes SPA best circuit in the world

Some good tracks and im sure if you have many different configurations of each there will be a good selection, but its still small compared to many other racing games. Also from looking at the car list, its nothing special or impressive. Do have to say i haven't played the demo yet though :(

An arcade racer that's actually an arcade racer, unlike NFS ProStreet that tries to be both simulation and arcade.

Definate buy on my list; Loved the heck out of DiRT, seeing as this is pretty much DiRT on tarmac - Can't go wrong.

The demo was a lot of fun. One of the only racers that I actually enjoyed playing from the driver POV. I'll most likely only rent this game due to limited funds but it's on the list.

If there's no Nordschleife its not worth getting. There's a reason why all racing games have it these days - because the the most demanding track out there, it's the benchmark racing circuit. Anyone know which Le Mans track? oh God, please let be the unchicaned Le Sarthe - I might just buy it then...

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
