    Forza Horizons....who's had a play of the demo?

    I've just noticed the demo on XBL (exclusive to gold members for 1 week, apparently), who else has given it a go? What did you think?

    It'll be tomorrow for me.

    From what i've read - excluding Polygon's review - impressions are completely positive, surprisingly so, perhaps. The main sticking point in me possibly picking up the game (along with Halo 4!) is that it means digging the 360 out and having to play on a 2560*1440 screen /firstworldproblems.

    Shamelessly stolen from NeoGaf:
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: Forza Horizons....who's had a play of the demo?

    I don't like it's... There's no real word for it but Codemasters-ness. It looks great, sounds great, the handling model sits nicely between Forza 4 and more arcade style racers and I love that they haven't sacrificed anything to give us an open world setting to hoon around in but it's all too "extreme" and flash where it doesn't need to be. As if the DiRT dev team got in there at the last minute and painted the UI a special shade of Ken Block which for me is a bit of a deal breaker

    Back to Forza 4 and F1 2012 for me for the forseeable future I think!

    Well you'd hope it'd be cheaper over a year after launch . I paid £20 this time last year.
