I got CART full

by Max Thoma » Sat, 08 Nov 1997 04:00:00

I downladed CART Precision Racing off the internet, 35x1.44meg disks. Its
the full packaged version,minus the movies. I havent played it much (cos its
crap). This is what i noticed:

Surfers Paradise, which is right outside my front door step, has got this
horrid 3rd chicane which is lined with walls, and almost 90degree turns, and
straights in the middle.

When you are lapped, the computer cars slow down, so u can get your lap back

Graphics are great, but u need a ninja computer

Cars flip unrealisticly, almost like they did in stunts

Damage is so unrealistic, that if you have a headon at michigan, you can
continue the race, but if u slightly hit the wall, your wing falls off.

When you spin out at 200mph, it takes about 3 secconds before you stop.

If you are going at top speed, and shift into first, it stops alot faster
than using brakes, etc like you normally would.

If you just miss the pits, the game gets confused, and you drive the rest of
the session in autopilot.

If you rub the walls, you get stuck on them easily on the speedways.

First corner on the non oavl tracks is mayhem, cars crash off everywhere

Computer cars crash all the time

If a computer car crashes, and looses a wheel, it tries to continue, but
having 3 wheels causes the car to do donuts, doing this it takes out the
whole field eventually. Even at michigan when it happened, the 3 wheeled car
got hit several times, but recieved no further damage, and the cars that hit
it suffered minor damage like a wing or something. (is this supposed to be a
sim microsoft??)

One of the street tracks i tried, was Elkhart Lake. The lowest gear i whent
through any corner was 3rd, the sharp turns at the end of the long straight,
which in indycar2 is taken in 1st, can be taken in 4th at high revs, hardly
realistic.

I am running a p166, orchid righteous 3d, 48mb sdram, and found it hard,
even without smoothing on, to have a decent framerate throughout the whole
game.

These are some of the things i have observed after only a few hours i have
played it. I found it hard to find things i liked (apart from the
graphics).To me this game is a great dissapointment, If it wasnt for the
extremely poor AI and little bugs, it would have been an icr2 or gp2 beater.
I know alot of you will not believe me, but you will see it when the game is
released and you buy it... on the shelves is where this one belongs.
