Really?  The demo convinced me that I *do* want the full retail.

I wasn't impressed with NFS (the version b4 Underground). It was a game
I played when I wanted to good laugh. I'm not being condescending, I
feel the same way about  Midnight Club 2.  It's a silly game, but fun.

I was mostly disappointed with the graphics in the GTR demo -- they
seemed to be from technology 4 years ago. Perhaps the full version has
better looks. I still haven't seen a racing sim that matches the
graphics of N2003.
I haven't tried Rfactor. I'll have to give it a go.

Well, GTR is a fair bit better than N2003 in the graphics department.  One
thing that people often forget to do is to set texture detail to 'full'
instead of just 'high' - the textures look a bit crappy on 'high' but on
'full' they're the most detailed textures I've ever seen in a game.  The 3D
modelling in GTR is world class too.  The only drawback is that the lighting
isn't as advanced as something like TRD2 but it's still on a par with N2003
in that department.

    Yep. I just installed the press demo and the first thing that hit me was
how good the graphics were. Sounds seemed pretty good too - maybe a bit
tinny.
