Hello thom. Personally, I rather like tthe thrill of being expected to react instantly to a new course, and the fact that even when i'm racing against art on "push faster daddy" i stil get and risk some cash, even if I limp around the course crashing more than windows.
Rather than a streight try out feature, how about several tutorial tracks, purely for the purpose of getting to grips with common features of the game? Just say a short one section track with a 30 jump in it, another with a 45 curve, and another with a force field (I could certainly go for that sort of thing). Btw thom, what pod cast is this? i'd be quite interested to here how somebody else gets on with RR, but all I've seen on blind cool tech thus far is che's own demo from his site. Beware the Grue!
