The notes indicate the following:

"Windows XP:

We recommend using the drivers provided by the manufacturer (where possible,
Microsoft certified!!) for Windows XP. These are the Microsoft
factory-installed drivers for your computer setup."

I guess I can't play because my drivers were not installed by the factory.

You aren't missing much, its sort of like Need For Speed with just a
Mercedes SUV to meander around in. Nice graphics, unfortunately its so
slow and dull you get a lot of time to enjoy them. I couldn't even get
the SUV to roll :-(

There is more in the demo, than just the SUV. You can drive a 300SL
Gullwing, A-Class and a SLK 230 Kompressor version. If it's too arcadish,
you can adjust just how sim'ish or arcad'ish you want, from 0 to 100%. Look
under game options. Deadzone can be adjusted to. Poke around under options,
its well hidden ;)

And if you dont want to drive againt the AI, turn where ever you like and
enjoy a freeride in the Alps ;)

I agree .Gorgeous graphics and some cool cars with pretty good AI. Did I
mention gorgeous graphics?

Agreed.  Looks like the Mercedes version of NFS:PU.  Graphics are
gorgeous and my wheel works perfectly. :)

I ordered the full version from a UK-based place; they said Sept 19 is
the release date.

I haven't tried it on full-sim or full-arcade yet; only the default setting.

Yeah, feels great.  Most arcade-style games feel ridiculous with my wheel.
Race Driver comes to mind....... Oh and CMR3.

I would hardly call a video that is 99% driving on water as a sim.

My one complaint so far is the FF, it feels very canned, like a fixed
spring.  Other than that it's a great game.

I took the off road all terrain vechile and drove off road for about an hour
and was still finding new places on the Swiss Alp map.  Amazingly complex
terrain model.

A heck of a lot of fun too.  ;o)
