Well I tried the demo and set everythign to simulation and no assists........it feels very similar to Forza 4 really. Graphics are the same as well.
They seem to have taken the DIRT approach and made the menus very bright and colourful with epic voice overs between races and stuff.....other than the lurid packaging it drives like Forza 4.

Agree Jack, I've tried the demo this morning and was pleasantly surprised. I concur that the driving feel is similar to Forza4, if not a 100% port.
I think the reviewer more or less hit the nail on the head. For anyone who likes all kinds of the driving genre, this is definitely worth a look. If you're a die hard sim nut, then maybe this ain't for you.
I'd categorise the demo as a Forza4-Lite/DIRT3/NFS/TDU hybrid. All good fun, free roam driving and the Rivals mode from Forza 4 thrown in.
