From Avault.com:
"The NFS Porsche Unleashed Demo comes with a 15 day time limit which will let
you play Single Player/Quick Race games with one car and one track."

Great graphics, drives good, but I think Viper had more throttle control of
over/understeer at speed.

I get a constant rumble from the road surface with my FF wheel at this demo
track. It get a bit annoying. Are the other tracks this way in the full version,
and are there road with two way traffic?

Yes, the FF constantly rumbles like that in the final game, it's one of only
a few things that bug me about this game. If you turn down the Stick Volumn
in the controllers options it's not so bad. I find the rest of the game so
much fun that I don't let it bother me.

You can configure the tracks to have traffic or not.

 I don't know which car is in the demo, but as you advance through the more
powerful cars, you will find that good throttle control is very important to
controlling the cornering attitude of the car.

A time-limited demo? Now that's what I call mean. I don't remember any
other racing game having such a *** restriction - you could play the
GPL demo for years if you really wanted to.

Not only is the time limit Bullshit-it apparently has a flaw as I was able
to give it but one go before it decided I had reached my evaluation limit.
14 days and 23 3/4 hrs. early.
