Jimi · 17 Jan 2007 at 03:46

Umm, I don't see how my computer can make me forget what day it is, but I corrected my first post anyway.

bloomin eck. i'm getting over 600kb/s on the pre-load. it's funny how it never downloads at more than 200kb/s on games that i've paid for.

Does it have good handling then? Im not keen on need for speed, etc

I like Driver (original) and Mafia driving style games. Would I like this?

Spunj99 · 18 Jan 2007 at 12:17

It's a simulation, so completely different to Driver and Mafia etc...

But if you've got a wheel, you might find you enjoy racing simulations, so give it a go.

marc2003 · 18 Jan 2007 at 13:44

do you guys think this will play with a pad ok? i don't have a wheel but have a 360 and a ps2 controller at my disposal.

webmonkeyuk · 18 Jan 2007 at 15:12

i use a 360 pad on all my race games and it copes ok

UKTopGun · 18 Jan 2007 at 15:46

To get the most enjoyment out of a simulation you need a wheel really (or if you want to get semi-decent times).

silversurfer · 18 Jan 2007 at 15:54

Wouldnt a joystick be ok too, better then keyboard and mouse anyway.

Ive used a mouse with LFS I think it was and it was pretty nifty. I wasnt any good but I imagine it could be good as a controller (wasnt my thing though)

What time will this trial start, our time

A 360pad is pretty good imo, better then ps2
