definite Rally Game for PC and one of the best Racing Games ever.
I think I haven't had that much fun with a driving game since the days of
Stunt Car Racer.
The goods:
+ great dynamic In-Car view
+ excellent EAX environmental sounds
+ excellent steering feel
+ breathtaking graphics (celeron500, v3)
+ high framerate
+ good but slightly exaggerated physics
+ different cars with different sounds and behaviour
+ very well done multiplayer races on multi-lane tracks
The bads:
- somewhat strange enginge sounds
- clumsy interface, especially the controller configuration
- haven't got split axis working right now (logitech), but it might be me
(see-> interface :o)
I might post some more observations this week. But if you can get your
controller working right in the demo, I'd say this is a must-buy. The best
game released this year so far.
cheers,
