LOL! I had the same problem to start with. Very nice to look at but I wouldn't spend my own money on it. Thank God we get to try these things first.

Lovin it, 16players online is fantastic.. Even managed to pick a few races with decent people and surprisingly less crashes than an average PGR3 race....

Certainly is a fantastic looking game. Like the others it takes a lot of practice to get it right, but when you do its very rewarding.

I'll have a go at hosting tonight, if I'm sober enough, haven't looked at the online options yet, but if it's possible I'll call the server Scoobynet.

I grabbed the whole lot like a downloading *****, God bless NTL 10meg unlimited.

Brothers in Arms & Call of duty 3 are looking excellent,
DOA extreme
Tony Porks look good but could get boring very quickly.
Halo 3 / Gears of War, looking good but giving nothing away.
Prey looking excellent altho with all that 360 rotating of the screen prolly best avoid playing when drunk.
Test Drive, thanks for the demo thats saved me £50
Lost Planet demo looks promising, need to play it a little more.
Moto GP nice eye candy, will take me a lot of getting used to controlling it tho
Forza 2 looking very sexy

Not much else jumped out

Just My Opinion

oh forgot the Lost Planet demo, best get that as well!

Agree with TD though

The thought of Forza 2 with the wireless wheel gets my juices flowing!

Loved the Forza 2 demo, pure eyecandy.. The 3D models stripping down to wireframe was stunning, very impressive demo...

'Rain' also looks like it could be a good game....

mmm. downloaded motogp. Agree with the rewarding aspects, but not too sure if it's a buyer.

Then again, you don't get enough of the game to make a real decision, but on the surface, it looks/handles great, but apart from the Live aspect, could get boring v quickly.

Will have to look Forza2.........

I'm not sure how they are claiming it's MotoGP 2006, at the start it claims all 2006 riders/bikes.. So how come the demo is all last years teams/riders !!! Either it's an early demo or it's actually MotoGP 2005...

Can't remember the exact words but when it started there is a screen that has the cut off dates that people had to adhere to for their livery/sponsorship needs.

Spotted you last night fatmanscooby, the first race was a friend of mine - honest - although I was nearly as bad on the second.

Has to be said - as a Live game, it's probably one of the best so far

On this merit alone, I may have to purchase it

Does anybody know if this comes already out tomorrow Friday, 9th June? I am looking very forward to this one. Wasn't somebody from here a developer for this beauty? ;-)

Is it more or less like the demo from marketplace? I did'nt really like the demo, it had no feel and the controls were crap!

Personal opinion I guess. I thought the controls were great and there was plenty of feel

Basically, it's exactly the same as the demo, only there's more of it...

Had motogp2. Best value game ever. Controls and handling need to be set to your own taste, but invest the time and it is so worthwhile. Ended up playing it for a whole week just to learn manual gears and really got to fly. Played the game to death then sold it for what I paid for it. Love PGR but seems slow compared to Moto GP.

Iain,

Can you confirm if it is the 2006 riders/livery or the 2005 riders like in the demo....

Cheers

The game has both. You can choose either the 2005 or 2006 season, and all the drivers / liveries change accordingly
