    I just downloaded the Dirt 2 Demo (A Demo? Whats that?!?!) and have to say that despite my enjoyment that a developer released a demo of a product, I'm quiet disappointed with the game overall. Dirt 2 feels like a mix between NFS: Most Wanted, NFS: Shift, Dirt, and Cruisin USA. While it supports brand new features such as DX11, I found the graphical engine quite lack-luster and the physics engine to be very archaic and arcade-like; there is nothing innovative about the game and feels like a copy of other popular racers.

    I'll be honest, I've been extremely excited for the game to come out, but it seems to be Dirt with 100mph handling and more grass and lens flares. Anybody else tried the demo yet?
