question for Playstation2 owners

Anyone tried CART Fury? I bought a PS2 last night so I can play Grand Turismo 3 and I need another title, anyone tried it? It looks VERY arcade, am I right? Thanks, JS

It's scary it's so bad- for this newsgroup it would be considered the work of the Anti-Christ or something- the worst of the video game point of view on racing games. Rented it, played for 30 min. enough to do all the tracks and find out they have abolutely nothing to do with the real-life counterparts- like Long Beach has most the turns gone, replaced by long turns a mile wide. Don't even rent it. "VERY arcade" is an understatement. From an actual arcade coin op game. Be ascared, be very ascared. NASCAR Heat 2002 is a fairly good port of the original PC Heat- they kept the feel and it has real nice graphics, and if you are limited to the U.S., F1 Championship Season 2000 is good for hot laps. Le Mans 24 Hours, if not out yet in U.S.(17th?), should be soon and will be good semi-sim fun if the Dreamcast version is any indication. I would go for any of those. Tim

Cool, F355 Challenge is coming to the PS2? I've heard great things about the Dreamcast version. I also heard good things about the LeMans Dreamcast version, the PC version sucked though. The Lotus will be a must buy, I hope it had the 49B like in GPL. JS "Galley_SimRacer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Yeah wasn't that weird how the PC version of Le Mans sucked, and then when they "ported" it to the Dreamcast, all of a sudden it didn't suck?! Obviously the Dreamcast programmers were more talented than the PC programmers and probably started from scratch instead of porting the crap code. Now, the question I have is where is the PC port of the Dreamcast version? :-P "JS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9itr48$llf$[email hidden]... > Cool, F355 Challenge is coming to the PS2?

I have a TM Ferrari DC-wheel. who cares? :) -- Gunnar #31 SUCKS#015 Tupperware MC#002 DoD#0x1B DoDRT#003 DoD:CT#4,8 Kibo�: 2 FJ�SE!

Actually, it was developed alongside and by different teams. The DC/PS2 version was developed by Melbourne House (of GP500 fame), while the PC version was done by Eutechnyx (huh?). I think that explains the difference. -Gregor Alain wrote:

Yep, it was announced a few weeks ago, whih was surprising considering that Acclaim had lost the Ferrari license and F360 Challenge had been cancelled long ago. F355's physics are on par with Viper Racing. -- Stuff You Gotta Have software for BeOS and PalmOS http://www.stuffyougottahave.com/
