    Yea i'd like to know too as on the videos the suspension looks a little washy, alot of roll on the cars ?

    Would be interesting to know if they went down the realism route.

    So far, I'm jealous. Any idea why the PC version always is released so much later than the others?

    Was very lucky myself, went to my Local Tesco who had 22 copies on Xbox, and only 4 on PS3. I was 17th in line for the xbox, blimey that was close, maybe too close for comfort. So far, im loving the game, it was a little weird at first, but i'm loving it, woo.

    The driving is alright... As suspected, the suspension is pretty wacky so it's easy to rolls stuff if you're not careful. What I do kinda love/hate is the new brake/handbrake system. It's far more realistic in the sense that you can't go sliding round each corner. If you're not super conservative on the handbrake, you'll just 180 the car and the brake kills all maneuverability so I'm gonna need a lot of practice.

    I've noticed a couple of bugs so far but nothing to write home about.

    Got my copy last night, im not really one for the hype and hysteria of new games, and just thought as i was up, and bored, id see if i could get one.

    Popped to my closest 24hr tesco, no copies, but some helpful policemen inside told me where there were a fabled six left for the xbox360, at the tescos in hucknall, confirmed again by a nice fellow in a chav'd corsa outside, got my copy no problem :)

    Im undecided as waht to think so far!

    Well from my jaunt to asda last night I got the 18th copy they sold for the 360. Gotta agree with acron^ I'm very impressed, the cars handle so much more realistically now and everything is so shiny!!!

    My copy just arrived, while the driving is more realistic, it's not gone down the simulation route. And while the city looks completely different, I do notice that it seems to be roughly the same layout, just bigger.

    Just had about an hour, so far so good. The driving seems much better. Graphics too, obviously. The main thing that grabbed me was the driving and the physics. Can't wait to get home and play more!

    Game buggered me over, I wanted the limited edition but their manager bullshitted that the limited editions were for online only. Either way I brought a normal copy, but alas I thought I had tomorrow off but it seems those plans have changed :-(
