 Is Touring Car Challenge from Codemasters the North American version
of TOCA2 or something new and different?

Also saw on EB's site that Barbie's race and ride is due out. Any beta
testers care to comment if this game is more sim or arcade, how is
multiplayer, and does it support FFB?

It is the American TOCA 2.

The article looks like the publishers press release. Any opinions from a
less biased source?

Yes, we have seen the demo. What about the full retail version?

Yes, I wasn't thrilled with the demo either, but it only had the "standard"
mode. I was hoping that someone would have some experience with the
"advanced" mode. Also, I wanted to know some more about the street course
that is supposedly included.

Well, it isn't an article, but the PR. It says article, but it's in the
sense of "The Full Article". If you want to read reviews on the game, just
go to any site and look for TOCA2 reviews.

Ah, hell, I broke down and bought the game this morning anyway.. It's pretty
fun and has more options than the old TOCA 1. I love road courses, and it
didn't take much to convince me to buy a game that has so many. The actual
racing simulation is simplistic compared to SCGT or GPL (so is everything,
of course) but it's still fun and you do have to pay attention to what you
are doing.
