Why I deleted the PS3 demo for Race Driver Grid

Overall I like the look of this game. Some of the graphics are gorgeous, some of the music is like honey for the ears, whatever that is, and the physics are spot on. There are three reasons I just had to boot it off my PS3 today.
1. The level in Japan in which you have to slide around every corner to earn points. I don't mind that I spent most of the time crashing into everything, I like a challenge as much as anyone. It's that damned Japanese commentator bawling over the loud speakers! It seemed to follow me around the track like an insane ghost! My subconcious was probably steering me into walls on purpose just to get away from it!
2. That smarmy Han-Solo-wannabe coach drawling 'advice' into my ear and calling me 'kid'. Puke.
3. In multiplayer mode, while waiting for a race to finish, they pump the most God-awful techno crap into your head! What happened to the rich, mellow music from the intro?

So fug dah! Begone!
