Am I the only one left unimpressed with the DiRT2 Demo?
Discussion
Well I turned on the PS3 on this morning and visited the Playstation store, and there it was.
I played it for a good 40 mins and it just didn't impress me in the slightest, yes it's good but it just didn't click for me. It's a shame as the first one was amazing fun, then again it doesn't represent the full game. I can't figure what to make of it.

I didn't like the first game, I felt the controls were disconnected somewhat from the cars - they have improved that a bit in the 2nd game, but it still doesn't feel right, there's still a bit of lag between the controller and the car's movement, and I find it really jarring.
Graphics are quite nice, but the menus are annoying - I don't understand why a menu cant just be a menu, I don't see why it has to be a caravan and a table or whatever.. just slows down the action!

I downloaded any played it last night.
Although the controls are a vast improvement of DiRT, i found the game was very much based like Need For Speed Prostreet which im not a fan of. Ok so the demo doesnt actually let you play any proper rallying but it still felt too arcadey.
It seems that they have replaced Colin with Ken Block which obviously has changed everything round somewhat as it felt very bloated and a pain to move around in the menus etc.

Could it be missing the influence of Mr McRae?

It's really just made for America now. I suppose this makes sense with the decline of the WRC and the popularity of Redbull everything.
My thoughts exactly.What happened to proper rally games? Games where you took part in a full WRC season. That is what I would love to see. Ideally it wouldn't be made by Codemasters as they seem unable to make games that are not based on an arcade model.
Dirt 2 demo is already deleted and I am now moving onto the IL2 demo and the Mini Ninjas demo. What's with all the demos all of a sudden??
What annoyed me the most was the rally stage in the demo, you had no co-driver telling you whats coming up, so i had to constantly glance between the minimap in the corner and the bouncing road 
It really was bloody hard to look at the map, and then back and try and focus on the road through the bouncing windscreen
In the end i just learnt the bloody road, and hooned it through from memory.
1 thing that was very annoying in the controls, was the fact it took forever for the game to pull the handbrake from when you first push the button, that took some getting used to
Also couldnt see the f
king start lights, as the A pillar was in the way and there was no way of looking round it, as i like to be in-car all of the time

Although to be fair to Dirt 2 the demo didn't have an actual rally stage. It's a different kind of even completely, probably more similar to Pikes Peak or Hill Climbing in the UK.Gassing Station | Video Games | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
