How is the Castrol Honda simulator?   Is it better than MotoRacer2?

Scott

In road racing Moto Racer 2 (demo, granted) loses out Terribly to Castrol, and
the comparision between the Dirt track, and the Superb Motocross Madness is
even worse.

In all Moto Racer 2 has been easily beaten in both areas, unless they can make
a huge leap.

I've only tried the demo of MotoRacer 2, and I have the full version of
Castrol Honda. I think the few things MotoRacer 2 has going for it is
the sharper 3d effects and the track editor (it's way too much like the
first release). As far as Castrol Honda is concerned, it's the only
thing I've played in the last 3 days since I got it. It's superbly
realistic. It has a few quirks, such as no direct or internet modem
play, however it has a split-screen 2 player mode and a LAN mode for up
to 8 players. I do think it qualifies as a sim though. I've seen
absolutely nothing that compares to the realism in Castrol Honda. I
highly recomend it. Who knows, I'll probably get MotoRacer 2 also. They
had one of the best 2-player connections in the first release.

Peace...

Castrol Honda is a lot of fun and more challenging than MR1. After 4 weeks I
am still having fun with the demo. While I have run some fast laps,it
challenging to run consistently with the other bikes. BTW,   I have the full
version of MR1. I have tried MR2, I was impressed with the graphics but
thats all.

By LAN mode, do you mean IPX?

Any experience playing it via Kali?

Hmmm... Its totally unrealistic. As much as everyone says it is. I road
race, and can tell you foresure, its more like driving a car than racing a
motorbike. I hate it. Maybee im just picky, but as far as i can see, id
rather motoracer (never played motoracer2) road racing, because its not
trying to be realistic. Ive tried my hardest to like castrol honda (because
thats all there is for the moment) but i cant. Dont bother.
