If it's anything like the PC version then yes. Lot's of entertainment and quite a challenge in single player mode.

I have it, but have never played my copy (my bro has it and I played a couple of games at his place).

This game is what GT5 should be, compared to Prologue, RD Grid is better.

Hopefully they are tweaking the proper GT5 to compare, because at the moment, Prologue doesn't

I put the demo back on my PS3 last night to give it another go after everyone kept raving about it and it was bloody terrible. How anyone can say it's better than GT5P is beyond me, you must be hardcore arcade racers at heart. I'm sorry but my opinion of it is it is absolutely shocking.

Whatever you think of Codemasters latest engine, they still manage to keep the feel of the original McRae games and make you feel like a racer.

Well it didn't work with me. The graphics are stunning no denying that but the game play in the demo is simply terrible. Everything from the way the cars handle to the sound effects when you hit something as well as the AI cars just punting you off on every corner. I played the demo for what must have been an hour trying to get a better opinion of it but just couldn't. In the end I just quit it and deleted it off the PS3 never to be reloaded.

AI punting you off? It's usually the other way round mate

I suspect the demo is nowhere as polished as the retail game anyway. As mentioned the drifting alone is superb. IIRC the physics in GT4 didn't allow you to drift on tarmac even in a ridiculously powered car. I suspect GT5 will have just the same dodgy physics to.
