In the demo, the XFI car is capable of real life tricks such as fishtailing nicely around corners where you can recover by steering in the opposite direction, just like in real life.

This game is not rediculously hard like some of the other racing sims, but it is a challenge while it builds confidence in the driver, that is if you do things just right. It is fun in the respect that once you start to get it, you realize that you can fight your way through the race rather than through a wall on every turn. The demo only offers one track and car type, but it is still a good indication of the essence of the game. What may come across as mundane or dull to some racers, to me is a more realisitc feel of something that might be accessible to a person in real life.
