Colin McRae Dirt...

[Luke7777]

Demo is out for PC (834mb) and xbox360 (769mb).

The demo gives you 3 tracks and 3 race types to try out.

Firstly there’s the point-to-point, against-the-clock action that’s a hallmark of the series. The PC demo pits you and your Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX against a testing Italian rally stage; the Xbox 360 demo features the same car, on a section of the Windy Point hill climb course in Arizona.

Secondly, test your nerve in off-road racing as you race against 9 fearsome AI drivers in a CORR class 1 buggy packing 650bhp.

Finally, take on the rally legend himself, Colin McRae, in a Subaru Impreza – the race is on a twisting tarmac crossover track in Germany.

Any local download mirrors yet? The international ones are DOG slow (doesn't help that my iBurst is capped but it is still VERY slow)

ok, lotsa fun on the xbox. Will have to hook up my DFP for the PC version though. Strange how using the controller feels perfect on the xbox, and just not right on the pc. Might be me , could never drive a proper racing game with a pad

Now how could the PC one be bigger than the XBox version?

 

[Luke7777]

The inclusion of DirectX maybe

/update : Full dx9 included as well (over 50mb)

I say, I'm very impressed, I downloaded the 360 version of it over the weekend. While rallying isn't my thing, I can't get a hang of the driving, graphically it's absolutely fabulous, I'd go so far as to say the "gears of war" of racing The damage and physics are also very impressive and feel pretty natural.

*bump* any local mirrors yet, having no joy with int. mirrors, lots of failed unresumable downloads

See it's been released overseas, Xbox and PC. BT still shows 29/6 though

 

[Random717]

have you seen the minimum requirements? GeForce 6800 / Radeon X1300
and recommended is GeForce 8800...

 

[Luke7777]

think my 7800GT will make it. My Xbox won't have a problem though

What Luke said

The Demo looks absolutely amazing on the 360.
