Worth the price! Beautiful Mitsubishi 2000 Eclipses

I bought this game because I thought it looked neat, a concept I haven't seen in a racing game. Creating your own car company and manufacturing your own cars to race. The basic plot of the game is to build cars and race them to gain exposure to sale as many as you can. This is called the Dream Mode. When you sale a certain amount of cars it unlocks the right to create other cars and expand your business. You start off with a roadster car, and work your way up to creating a sportscar, super sportscar and eventually a dreamcar. The only catch with the creating aspect of the game is that you don't really create, you just choose a design you like and some guy that works for you in the game builds it for you. Also, your company grows as the game progresses. Your office gets bigger, you hire more people to help out, and of course your garage gets bigger and better. As you progress through the game you also unlock licensed vehicles as well as concept vehicles you can race in single race and two-player mode. Not many games allow you to race third generation Mitsubishi Eclipses. However this game has the 2000 Eclipse in the RS, GT, and GT racing models. The racing Eclipses are very nicely designed, and armed to the teeth! A big positive for me was the actual racing of the game. The cars always stay together through the entire race, instead of spreading out, which makes the entire race a battle to the end. It is very easy to lose the lead, but also very easy to regain the lead. You always feel like it is a close race every time, but a race you always have a chance to win. I hate those frustrating racing games that make you run a perfect race to win, this game is not like that. Although I was a bit disappointed with not being able to have more "hands on" with designing of the cars, and only being able to race the Eclipses in the single race and two-player mode, it was still a neat concept and fun to play. I think this game is definately an under-rated game.

Best Racing Game ever

It is the best racing game ever because you create your own car company and race against other cars like Ford, Chevy, and Toyota!! When you win you get sales for the car you raced and can get better and cooler cars if you get enough!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoy many racing games . . . GT3, Burnout, Rallisport . . . but this one is horrible. Handling is fine, graphics are beautiful, replay fun, but everything else doesn't live up to the hype. Sound: you cannot hear the cars, the cheering washes out the cars and no way to adjust what sound is at what level. Tracks: are odd and irregular. And AI seem to cheat a bit . . . but that is in every game to a degree.

A Great overall game

Another great Atari game. In this game you not only race but you manage your own dealership and build cars from old blueprints of concept cars that you found in an old gas station. Although the driving is not as realistic as it could be, It is really fun to try to get your dealership up and running. You have to compete in multiple race circuits and by winning them you sell more cars and get more money. You also get to customize the Name of your company and pick the logo. A game thats actually worth the retail.

4 stars...considering I'm not a racing gamer

Now Usually I don't like racing games unless its a good classic such as Mario Kart 64 or something. But usually I dislike racing games. On this however you can customize/invent your own car and more. The gameplay/racing is'nt too bad itself. There is a big selection of nice/good cars such as Mercedes CLK's, Toyota Super's, and much more. IF you're a racing gamer this game is worth buying, IF you're like me rent it first or play the demo before you think about buying it.
