Forza Motorsport 2 Demo Thoughts

Been waiting for this demo for months now, and finally it has arrived. I patiently waited with bloodshot eyes and sweaty palms as the countdown to the release of the demo took place.
After playing though each car class, and using about every car. I have got a fairly good feel for the game.
Positives
- Computer A.I. is smart. Finally, a racing game with competition. Passing the computer on this game is definitely touchy. You have to decide the right time to make a certain move. If you pick a wrong move then it could spell disaster. The computer will also cut you off, and draft you from behind.
- The overall feel of the game flow and movement is great. The cars all seem to react different, and each have their own feel.
- The menus, opening video, and overall presentation.
- All of the sounds. The audio in this game is amazing. Each car has its own unique sound, just like the real life counter-part. The environment, such as fans in the stands react well. The tire and collision sounds are also very nice.
- Graphics are nice. Although not the best graphics for a 360 game, it still doesn't look bad at all. Also considering everything that is being compiled into this game, its actually impressive.
Negatives
- The sense of speed is not really what I expected. I understand this is suppose to be a racing simulation, but some sort of motion blur would make this game tons better. I still don't feel like i'm doing 160 MPH.
Just from a demo its hard to draw many conclusions. I am happy with the demo, and excited about the full game release. That means the demo served its purpose for me.
