As impressive as MBTR was, trucks aren't really my cup of tea.  MBTW
was awesome, though, both graphically and physics-wise, so this latest
title could be a surprise blockbuster.  Even though it will only
contain Mercedes-Benz cars, there have been some AWESOME M-B cars over
the years, so I am really looking forward to this one.  Is anybody
else as e***d as I am?  I was really looking forward to Pro Race
Driver from Codemasters, but that was a HUGE disappointment -- I hope
that MBWR doesn't follow suit.

Anybody else hearing anything about this title?

I too was disappointed with PRD and heard similar complaints about
CMR3.  I had to order MBTR from Europe but it was worth it.  I am definitely
going to get MBWR.

I was worried about NFS:Porsche only having one brand of car but I loved that
game.  MB has lots of great cars.  Now all we need is a similar game based on
Ferrari.

In the screenshots, there's an SUV race with the ML55 and Gelandewagens (sp?);
too cool! :)

Hopefully World Racing will have incredible graphics and equally
incredible and realistic physics!

Does anyone know when this game is going to be released? I can only
find an XBox official site for it...

I owned the xbox version for a day (about as long as Apex and Lotus
Challenge lasted).  It was pretty horrid.

What exactly was "horrid" about it, and -- just to provide the proper
frame of reference -- what sort of controller were you using (i.e.,
X-Box gamepad, driving wheel, etc.)?  Details and impressions, please.

I would guess that Total Immersion Racing is pretty horrid on the
X-Box and the PS2, but with the proper tweaks, the PC version is
downright satisfying physics-wise, for example.  Pro Race Driver, on
the other hand, seems to be TRULY horrid, regardless of the platform.

So, please, a little more detail on your impressions of the X-Box
version.
