Anyone Try Schumacher Karting Yet?

Besides DTR2, I saw Michael Schumacher Karting at CompUSA.  (Not sure of
the price).

Curious as to how it compares to Super 1 Karting, and whether it
supports multiple controllers.

Thanks!

very good, very nice, very funny, not perfect as a sim but worth the cheap
price it sells for.....

I thought it was pants!

Game developers seem to be able to get most other sims just right, but
I've yet to play a single karting sim which strikes me as anything but
dull.

I raced karts for a few years (just for a bit of fun). They're
lightening fast, quick to corner, light weight and you clatter your
teeth every second you're in them.

But karting seems difficult to convert to the PC. The controls seem
either too irresponsive, or not responcive enough. In a kart you feel
constant vibrations, but you don't get this feedback in the sims.

I guess another problem is that kart tracks tend to be fairly short,
so keeping true to this in a sim might make the tracks appear a tad
boring...
