rec.autos.simulators

I'm not sure what the guy that was ranting and raving about this game
was smoking, but so far it's just very BLAH to me??? There is no real
feeling of speed.  My speedometer said 185, but if you were watching the
game and didnt know, you would think you were going about 55 mph!
The graphics and the cars look very nice, but the gameplay isn't really
exciting to me.  The car handling using "simulation" mode isn't difficult
at all and the steering sensitivity is so low it's rediculous.  The
announcers
are interesting for a while but they tend to say random things that rwally
have
nothing to do with what's going on, anf they get repetitive after a while.
Also, the frame rate is kind of slow on my P200, even with most details
off ( I would say that a P200 would be the bare minumum to run this game).

I would like to hear from others who have this game to hear if I am just
missing something here?  Maybe I need to tweak some settings for a while
to find an enjoyable handleling level??? But for now I am not too impressed.

Your not missing anything.  In fact what you said resumes incredibly well
the simulation side of Nascar Revolution.

Ahhhh the joy of a new ***title entering on the market.  It's been quite a
while since the last one (Ronald you can guess it the company who makes it
starts with an U).  ;-)

while.

Yes they do get repetitive, but they do say a lot of interesting things,
especially if your not a Nascar nut. As for the handeling, I'm not qualified
enoguh to comment, I haven't found the game easy though.

impressed.

Beats me what you could do, I think this is just one of those love it or
hate it games. I don't usually spend more than a week or so with a racing
game then I'm bored, so ask me in a week if I like it.

What brand of 3d card do you have?  3DFX Voodoo2 cards are the best if you
want good framerates.

I love the demo,and know I'll love the full game when I get it.  And unlike
a lot of simulation fanatics, I don't go around bashing simulation games
just because I prefer the arcade type. (I play both, but prefer the arcade
type).

Lots of people seem to think if the racing game isn't *exactly* like Nascar1
or Nascar2, then the game sucks according to them.  They also seem to have a
ridiculous idea that Nascar2 is just like racing a real car... yeah right.

please help??

Absolutely! Do what I did. Return that stinking piece of dog ***
(apologies to any dog ***reading this).

I'm glad we can rely on you and Joe to call a spade a spade - I got a
chuckle out of that.

Cheers!

Aw c'mon you really want me to start the long, long list ? :)

Sorry Ronald I saw your point about continuing the debate but my stupid news
server only keeps post for 48hours (stupid ISP).  I lost it ;(      let's
continue still :)

You get a point Paul, but Ubisoft targeted it as a hard-core simulator, not
an arcade game like most of the titles are.  I just have some philosophy
problems with the Ubisoft family, how they approach our market and how they
design the software.  There is some incredible problems of mentality between
the Ubisoft Corporation and their employees. If you want I will be happy to
continue more in this thread, as I feel there is big m***and social
injustice at Ubisoft.

As for GP2, I used to play that all the time before I got F1Rs -- you
really can't beat the car adjustments and the authenticity of the sim.

take care!
