Yesterday I downloaded this game cause it was free. Expecting another "racing" game with gimmicks or something that can statisfy me with only a demo like DiRT and Grid did. Unfortunately that is not the case for this game.

It could be the way the demo is set-up by making do a practice loop to prove you can make it and then a real race. It teaches you the basics and you can get through it pretty quickly. It was actually a nice way to do a tutorial. But it was my second time through that I realize it was enjoyable and easy to breeze through it unlike all instructional beginnings.

As for the game, it is actually a racing game. It just feels like all these other games recently coming out have something attached unto it trying to be more than just a racing game. What is wrong with racing? Sure it isn't F-Zero, but not every game can be perfect. You just race, do jumps with stunts to get boosts and go fast and faster. Doesn't help that it looks great and runs smoothly on my PS3.

Proably the biggest reason I liked the demo has got to be the controls. It moves fluidly and there was only one time I felt like I wasn't in control. I am not sure what happened there but I was making a sharp turn and it kept on turning into the woods. But anyways, it felt very "easy" to master and a breeze to fly through. Perhaps it is the look and control that make it arcadey, aka FUN to play. Who needs realism anyways? I can wreck my car in real life!

This puts me in a dilemna, do I buy new game when it comes out to enjoy or do I just rent it? I've never owned an ATV racing game before...but money can be sweet. What are you doing with this gem?
