Don't take this wrong - I can see where Viper is a GREAT game, but it just
doesn't grab ME, although I like a lot about the concept and execution.
From what I've read on SCGT and playing the demo, I think it'll be more what
I was looking for out of Viper - a fun "lighter" sim.

. Actually the tracks bother me the most,
Well many tracksrun a bassackwards races. Hallet does and infact they
run the Kart races backards due to its easier on karts. I have not tried
the backwards tracks yet, but I do know some SCCA regions used to get more
sanctions for races at tracks by running both normally and backwards since
they could call it a different track.

I beleive the rebate has ended. :-(
GET BOTH!!!
Personally I loved Viper.....til I played SCGT.
Viper tracks look like Wiley Coyote and the Roadrunner are comin
around the corner any second. ALL the Vipers look exactly the
same....DUH guess cuz they are.
Viper AI acts like you aren't even on the track if you get in their
way. but there are only 8 to watch out for.
Vipers feel great to drive though and the game can be maxed out on
most systems without a problem. And the options and the garage are
very friendly.And the damage is cool and the replay is nice.
SCGT will bog down most systems when it is maxed out. THe Garage
options are irrataiting to say the least. The sound isn't much better
than vipers.the replay is not very intuitive
BUT dammit its just more fun. graphics are outstanding. Cars have
variaty and detail. AI is much better than vipers. they actually try
to avoid accidents. 16 cars is more exciting than 8. rain is cool.
night is cool although it would be cooler if the head lights really
worked. And both games have a nifty little horn you can beep if you
like. oh yeah and you can turn your viper into an airplane and shoot
beachballs with your horn. (no shit...you can)
