You mean from a competitor?

lol

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't this just a re-hash of RACE 07?

I guess it shares a lot of commonality with RACE 07, and I think this is exactly what people are expecting, a high class simulation.. but there are fears they will dumb it down..

 

[tonyyeb]

I hope they don't dumb it down. Consoles need a decent racing sim. With realistic damage, no boost if you are loosing option, reward good race driving, ban online people who just ram....

GTR Evo is a closer comparison as it has the GT cars as well, although not the Nordschleife I believe (maybe in DLC?), but it's on a different format (i.e. xbox instead of PC), and a new engine, so it's not a rehash for anyone who hasn't played it on PC. Does have a couple of different tracks as well - Laguna and Road America... not that you can't download the same tracks on Race 07 anyway.

Right, there are a whole load of movies (in game) on Xbox Live. Just downloaded and watched the production car one and it looks great. I'm really looking forward to a simulation on a console rather than the slightly more arcady versions!

Oooh, good job I found this thread, I was about to bin my wheel due to the lack of new racing games

 

[tonyyeb]

Is this an Xbox 360 / PC only title?

 

[CocoPops]

On another note, mine was shipped today

Looks good enough to me.

 

[DreXeL]

It's a sim. Some people just won't get on with it.

 

[CocoPops]

Another 8/10 review...

summary
You'll love
No-frills approach
Finally a hardcore racing sim on Live
Online championships will last years

You'll hate
Lacks expected presentation
Graphics could look a little slicker
Career mode isn't massive

All sounding good to me

 

[spaceman]

sounds good

mine was shipped this morning, normally get the pre-orders on the thursday so fingers crossed haha

 

[JBeck]

The eurogamer review is pants, the guy doesn't really come across as 'knowing his stuff' OXM are usually rather dubious and the gamesradar one is a few paragraphs long... Personally I'll wait for the demo and see what one of the better reviewers at IGN have to say. Hopefully someone on a sim forum will give us some decent user feedback.

 

[BlizzardX]

Well my pre-order has now shipped! I've got the bonus car... Should arrive on Friday I hope, so should be some good racing on Friday night

I joined the racepro forum at atari, the game is getting very mixed views but from what i can read between the good and bad... its very much a sim, theres a few bugs and glitches.

the visuals have been slated but the majority think the physics and handling is very good.

aslong as I can have some quality edge of seat races with ok gfx on my 40" lcd tv then I will be more than happy
