The demo is up on the UK 360 marketplace.

I played a few races and the AI was a little tough at times. Turns out difficulty is set to "advanced" by default. On an easier setting, I won a few races.
The demo only lets you play as Banjo & Kazooie and Sonic. Banjo is faster that Sonic but harder to control. The All-Star moves are pretty helpful without making it feel too easy and each feels unique. Banjos has Kazooie hold up that magic wrench from Nuts & Bolts and it rains giant jiggies to get in the way of the other racers and you speed up while it plays the BK theme. Sonics ASM is Super Sonic and you have to bash A as much as you can to pick up and keep speed while moving left and right to knock racers out the way.

Controls are ok but It's not as tight as Out Run Online Arcade was. To boost, you have to press and hold the left trigger and move the stick left and right. I usually just boosted by doing tricks over ramps.

Items are pretty standard with mines = banana peels, boxing gloves = green shells, Sonics shoe = mushroom etc but some of them are a little hard to know what they do and because of that, I'm not sure when to use them. The rainbow, for example. I have no clue what it does so I don't know how to use it effectivly.

I like the game and I hope it turns out to be a lot of fun with everything open to me. The demo didn't really prove it one way or another.

Wait, with the boost, do you mean like Mario Kart style or waggling constantly?

Mario Kart style. Actually, it doesn't have to be left and right. It can be left or right. Just tap it in a direction and you have a boost. One tap for a basic boost, twice for a bigger boost.

Just got done playing it a few times more and it's really growing on me. Had a quick race on multiplayer splitscreen. It still runs smoothly with 2 screens, even when there is a lot going on on each screen. The game can get pretty hectic, to be honest, with everyone getting items and ASM. I had boxing gloves flying around the track while Billy Hatcher was rolling a giant egg (his ASM) behind me and I had to avoid mines.

I think Banjo is pretty bad compared to Sonic in this game.

I was wrong about the boosting. You don't have to move the stick at all. It's just a case of drifting long enough to get the boost you want.

If you hold down the drift button and tap the accelerator, you can drift around tight corners. I've been playing the demo everytime I'm on my 360. Now that I know how everything works, I quite like it.

I'm curious what everyone else thinks about the demo.

Edit: All-Star Move trailer

The games out in the US but the UK wont get it until Friday. Except me. I pre ordered mine so I'm getting it a day early (today).
Anyone picked it up? Thoughts?

Apparantly, online play doesn't have All Star Moves and people are complaining but, to be honest, I think people would have complained if they did put them in online play. Plus, you know someone would have eventually hacked the game to have never ending ASMs online.

Launch trailer:

I got my copy through the post today. The game is fun to play but the achievements are a breeze to get. I got 10 of them in under 20 minutes. You have to buy each track/BGM/Character which is good if you want specific things ASAP, you just save up your SEGA miles. I saved mine up for the Bonanza Bros.
Going to try online later tonight, maybe.

Edit: Tried online. You can use your Avatar online, which I did. ASM definitely aren't in online but you never miss them because, most of the time, the race is pretty close. Sometimes everyone spreads out a little but that only happened in one or two races on the harder courses. Saw no lag in my maxed out room on a very busy track, which is a big plus. All in all, I think the game is pretty excellent. Worth picking up.
As for Achievements, I now have 21 out of 50.
