 IMHO,
           I just got Demolition Racer and it is terrible. To start there I
no multiplayer support.  How can someone release a game without it? That's
just plain stupid.  That's not the worst part of it.  The control in the
game is awful.  I've tried 3 different controllers and no matter which one I
used the car is totally impossible to control.  You can never get the
steering back to center.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought this message was going to be about N3 online.

I had considered describing some of my experiences under the same header.

Actually, I'm having some fun with this game.  I'm a big fan of sims
and arcadish racers, as long as they make good use of my LWFF wheel,
and the experience is fun.  

I picked up this game against my better judgement since the box said
zilch about force feedback.  I got it home and installed it (it did
something weird to my DirectX installation, but no system problems
yet), and sighed when it started up-- NO FORCE FEEDBACK.  Actually,
using a wheel, there is no sense of control whatsoever.  Terrible.

THEN, I recognized the game for what it is.  A console arcade game.  I
took out the wheel and defined my microsoft sidewinder joypad.  Fired
the game up again and it was actually fun!  I could control the car
again!

It's obvious to me that the game was designed for digital joypads.  If
you take the game for what it is-- a $30 playstation game-- it's quite
a hoot.

Some good advice for people who want to give this game a try again--
USE A JOYPAD, NOT A WHEEL!

Not that this title will hold my interest in the least once I get my
hands on a released Dirt Track Racing CD, but hey, it's a diversion
until then.

The same can be said for the recent entrants in the Need for Speed series.
