I just downloaded this for the PC. There is something horribly wrong with the force-feed back in this demo. It's like it has a mind of its own. Going down a straightaway the car just jerks one way and another for no apparent reason. Apparently I'm not the only one having this problem with it either. Looks really cool but until they get this fixed it is completely undrivable for me.

I can top that, on the PS3 version. YOU CAN'T EVEN USE A WHEEL!!! That there automatically made it a skip on my buy list. The same thing with WRC 3. Both games are passes o well, they didn't look to amazing anyways.

There isn't any support for a wheell or it just doesn't work like it's supposed to? I also thought the graphics were lacking on the PC version.

No support, it shows the option in the menu but says its not available for use in the demo.
