There's something off about this game. The car models look accurate, but maybe it's that the physics make the cars look too rigid. I feel like I'm watching a video from one of those video game school commercials. This game doesn't have the professional look and feel of something like Burnout. It looks like the original NFS engine with updated graphics.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time telling if it's the crappy quality of the video or the crappy quality of the video game...both?

It's German though. Germans like rigidity, right?

The [edit]demo[/edit] is also available to Gold members only by the way. I logged onto my Japanese XBL account and I was given a nice "You must be a gold member" message when I tried to download the NG2 demo :(.

I went to download the demo and couldn't find it. I went to the "new additions" or whatever and found NG2, but the demo wasn't an option. Just a few videos and some gamer pics I think.

Probably should have checked the demo's tab, but I didn't think of it.

Even though I already knew it wasn't available for the U.S., Germany or Canada thanks to this thread, last night when I was queuing up demos I still went looking for the NG2 demo, and was convinced it should be up. I blame the thread title. ;)

This is clearly, 100% confirmed, Queasy's fault.

I got tired of waiting for the demo and bought the game yesterday. I haven't played any of the recent NG games (last one I played was on the NES I think), but this one is pretty good so far.

Noooo, you gave into their marketing strategy! Delay the demo so long that people get fed up and buy it.

Bet you feel sheepish now!!

You need to buy NG: Black, it's fantastic.

I'm in the UK.

I just tried the demo, it felt more accessible than DMC 4 (never played these games before) although the combo lists were crazy. I mashed the buttons and ploughed my way through, the Eclipse scythe is WIN :D

I'm pretty sure I'd get thoroughly pwned in the retail version as I read the weapons are maxed out in the demo.

From what I understand, the weapons are all 'upgradable' but not in power, in skill... so all basically as you progress through the game, you'll be able to do more combos and moves with them.

Downloading now. I shouldn't be doing this, as it's just going to make me go out and get. I haven't even had time to finish DMC4 yet and I bought that when it was released.
