Saw a game/sim called Indycar Netrace Live (Northern Lights series)
selling at EB today for $27.99 CAD. At that price I figured it must be
crap. Anyone here venture to buy it?

If it's anything like the free version I tested online at
www.netracelive.com then it probably isn't worth it.

The Net Race Live software was originally a free download from the
Netrace Live site (http://www.netracelive.com/).  We did an intro
article on it last may on The IRL Insider site:

http://irlinsider.adnetweb.com/400nrlintro.htm

Unless it's changed drastically, it's an online-only thing that puts
you "into" the action, kind of like NASCAR Heat's "Beat the Heat"
mode. The main problem was that the "AI" (or "real") cars weren't
affected by you at all, which was annoying.  Also, you couldn't do
anything with your setups, which meant you were locked-in to whatever
they gave you.

Still, though, I did have a bit of fun with it, so I'd say it's worth
checking out.  Check their site first, though, to see if you can
download the program for less than EB's asking price.

I believe there is also a NASCAR version of this.  A friend of my Mom sent
me alink to it a few days ago.  I'll see if I can track down what it was
about.

I'm at the site now. Don't think it's worth checking out even.

guess it's the first time a sim could make you throw up from something
other than motion sickness.
