Cool, will wait for a few more opinions but it looks like my wallet is going to be getting abit lighter later on today

Defo worth it I bought my 360 bout 2months ago and had alone of this game, never touched any other of my games (saints row, dead rising pgr3, tony hawks) expect GoW which I done on CO-OP. It is the best game I have played in a long time defo worth the 30-20 bucks you can pick it up for.

nice going to do all the races 1st as only got about 4 left to do and then give it another shot, what car you use. Find the enzo the easiest to control.

Try a stage 3 CCR, worked for me

Mc F1 GTR which was level 3'd. Handles like nothing else on the twisties.

Agreed. best handling car on the game IMO. although nothing can beat a stage 3 tuned ZX10R, if you can manage to keep on it

Meh, got 270mph out of my CCR last night, that was scary considering it dont handle too well :eek:

True mate, true. Even quicker if you draft other people aswell

exactly, crap at handling. i think its one of the worst cars in the game to drive.

Vogon · 12 Jan 2007 at 18:58

lol, I find it a far better handling car than the Enzo !

Stellios · 12 Jan 2007 at 19:02

Yeah, but the enzo is rubbish.

I've decided im pants at this game

Ive done a lot of Gold, but the Expert/Champion races are to much for lil old me.

I've found the Courier/Package delivery ones a lot easier now though, im using the Lotus thing - very fast and easy to handle.

To the challenges (couriers etc..) change times depending on car type you have?

There is just a set time for that courier mission. They are all stupidly easy. For the first several i was really worried as when you hit something you lose a bit of money, i was very consious of this and had to keep restarting until i did the whole thing perfect. However, about half way through i read about the speed run glitch, where you can get $80k in a matter of seconds. After that i just drove fast to get the mission done, as i wasn't worried about times or anything - although did get gold as they are easy too. Hated the 4 or five challenges that were 16 odd miles, they really annoyed me, esp when you have an F class car

No, but as you progress through the game to champion levels the times restrictions get smaller, to the point you need to use class A cars to do them.

I am Champion

but the reason i ask is the Lotus is only Class C (iirc) but some of the Hitchikers ive had 2minutes to spare :/

Stellios · 12 Jan 2007 at 19:25

Must just be lucky, ive had a few that were very tight using the Mc F1, but some that i could have done in a Ford Mondeo

Why aint you Ace yet????????? I'm confused

Well, since this thread is still going and since I've finally got a nice TV to play all my 360 games on, I thought I'd give this another go.
Decided that I HAD TO drive the Miura tonight and for once the European Classics place had one in, which was nice. I can't even really be bothered doing anything, might just cruise around for an hour or so...

When i was bored (and need 500 more miles for the traveller achievement

) i used to just keep doing the island tour. Good for cruising that race .

Stellios · 13 Jan 2007 at 00:19

Im rich!

Sold the VW W12 for £1.5mil and the Chrysler Four Twelve for £2.2mil. Cant believe people want those cars that badly, they suck, and they are free upon completing the missions anyways. Guess people are just impatient.

Whats this speed glitch you talk about? :confused:

Stellios · 13 Jan 2007 at 00:30

On the bottom of the map theres a speed challenge that is 180mph downtown and its a 75k prize. Literally takes about 30 seconds to do.
