I haven't seen much discussing of the new Ford racing. Anybody have
any thoughts on it? Is it any good?

I saw the box in EB this evening. The in-game graphics look highly
impressive, as well as the car physics.

Shame. It could have been a blast had it been a simulator.

absolute pants - a real disappointment

improves slightly as you get better cars - but then the KA should be one of
the best handling models to start off with

sound is abysmal - all cars sound the same from the 1.3 KA to crappy big
yank stuff

tracks are dull

collisions are laughable, and no damage

physics are probably the worst i have played in any driving game ever - it's
not even arcade, it's not anything

control options are pretty much non-existent

graphics look good but i get horrendous stutter - i have a p3 450 voodoo3
system that runs RC fine so no excuses there

no in car view

you could just about forgive the ***-ups if it was at all enjoyable (like
RC) but it's not - requiring no skill whatsoever, no need to brake anywhere
and only requires lifting off the gas now and then

M25 Racer is better and a lot more fun

and if you want to drive Fords wait for GT2 on PSX or hope it runs on Bleem!
or CMR2 on PC

i like Fords (UK), especially recently, but i hate this game

and there is no Capri - not that i've found anyway

Hi SAW.

 I got GT2 at the release date in Japan.  It's make me suspect graphics
are more cruel than original GT. 320x200 resolution graphics is no more
pain.
 I recommend who planning to get GT2 to try your racing sims or games its
has 320x200 and carefully think about you can live with that low resolution.

 One more pain for me is No in car view, a little usable view is only bamper
view. But, it's too low to drive with.. 2 external views are for kids.


LWFF. =)

P.S. Back to the on topic. I was e***d to drive Ford Falcon in
Ford Racing... hmm the other hope is gone.

I just read somewhere (blue's news?) that the bleem! producers filed a
countersuit against Sony for monopoly and patent misuse (just from memory).

david vs. goliath again, will be interesting.

Haven't played it yet but it seems to me that you can get a Ford Crappi
(don't know for the Capri dough) :)
