CART Fury Championship Racing Preview

Gamespot has a preview up for CART Fury Championship Racing for the PS2. http://gamespot.com/gamespot/filters/products/0,11114,471985,00.html It looks like they didn't bother to update the drivers and teams, as it has Vasser racing for Ganassi with Honda engines. Gee, you know it's gotta be a quality racing game when there's a "demolition" mode....

It's a racing game, not a sim. Never claimed to be a sim nor should it have been a sim. You might not agree with their tactics, but CART is going to have a very good summer in the marketing department. A videogame that is intended to sell and a movie that is intended to draw in the mindless masses. Neither is realistic, but both will raise awareness of the sport.

gonna go back in time :) pez Sideshow Bob <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Unless either (or both) is *so* mindlessly stupid, that it casts the series in a strongly negative light. (I'm thinking more of the movie here.) Time will tell, but I'm not holding my breath. :( And for those who say "any publicity is good publicity", how are sales of Firestone-shod Ford Explorers nowadays? :) "But in a way, fear is a big part of racing, because if there was nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark

I wasn't planning on it being a sim. However having two year old teams and a demolition mode is not helping CART any.
