Will there ever be a decent racing game?

I gave it 3 stars only because V-Rally and NFS are even worse games. Another entry in the seemingly endless flow of racing game shovelware (the likes of V-Rally or NFS: HP). The graphics have somewhat intriguing quality to it - it is not as blatant cutout city as V-Rally's, and not kiddie-game graphics like that of NFS. Gameplay is also somewhat superior to V-Rally's - there are a few modes, including where you can race against other cars. Control - again, much better than NFS, better than V-Rally - but still horrible, it feels like you're playing Splashdown or some skiing game. Im starting to doubt there ever will be a decent racing game - GT3 was a step in the right direction, where cars controlled great, however, you had to spin around a handful of uninspired tracks ridiculous number of times, which essentially killed all the fun.

Just good graphics, the rest is very very POOR

Well, I made the mistake of purchasing this game without reading reviews first. The ONLY good thing about this game is the ENVIRONMENTAL GRAPHICS, all the rest is junk.

Why I say this? Well, some of the reasons are that even that it has ARCADE mode, you first have to complete a whole Championship (and school mode), if you don't, you CAN'T play ARCADE, neither the Argentina and other tracks, you are limited to play only in 3 tracks!! That's UK, France and Italy, that's it for single player mode. The only multiplayer mode is VERSUS, the other option is also LOCKED. The car options are OK, you can choose from several cool looking cars, but BEWARE, they are JUST GOOD LOOKING, <>, yes, there are no different engine sounds or a sense of change on performance. For example, if you drive a Subaru Impreza and then a Seat Ibiza, you will not notice ANY changes, just the color and the physical aspect of the cars.

So, the final ratings from me (1 - 5 scale, 1 = Worst, 5 = Best):

FUN = 2
GRAPHICS = 5
SOUND = 1
CAR SELECTION = 1
TRACK SELECTION = 2
PRICE VRS. FUN = 1

Rent it before you buy it, you'll se I'm not lying.

good if you like a challenge

I cant beleive this game got bad reviews, if you want a racing game where the cars actually take skill to drive this is definitley it. Lots of courses and cars, loads of fun.
