How is the Castrol Honda simulator? Is it better than MotoRacer2? Scott

In road racing Moto Racer 2 (demo, granted) loses out Terribly to Castrol, and the comparision between the Dirt track, and the Superb Motocross Madness is even worse. In all Moto Racer 2 has been easily beaten in both areas, unless they can make a huge leap. Z.

I've only tried the demo of MotoRacer 2, and I have the full version of Castrol Honda. I think the few things MotoRacer 2 has going for it is the sharper 3d effects and the track editor (it's way too much like the first release). As far as Castrol Honda is concerned, it's the only thing I've played in the last 3 days since I got it. It's superbly realistic. It has a few quirks, such as no direct or internet modem play, however it has a split-screen 2 player mode and a LAN mode for up to 8 players. I do think it qualifies as a sim though. I've seen absolutely nothing that compares to the realism in Castrol Honda. I highly recomend it. Who knows, I'll probably get MotoRacer 2 also. They had one of the best 2-player connections in the first release. Peace... Tony Long > How is the Castrol Honda simulator? Is it better than MotoRacer2? > Scott
Castrol Honda is a lot of fun and more challenging than MR1. After 4 weeks I am still having fun with the demo. While I have run some fast laps,it challenging to run consistently with the other bikes. BTW, I have the full version of MR1. I have tried MR2, I was impressed with the graphics but thats all.

Any experience playing it via Kali? -LjM -- [ who | where | what ] Lyle J. Mackey | Freeside Communications | TechSupportSysAdmin

Hmmm... Its totally unrealistic. As much as everyone says it is. I road race, and can tell you foresure, its more like driving a car than racing a motorbike. I hate it. Maybee im just picky, but as far as i can see, id rather motoracer (never played motoracer2) road racing, because its not trying to be realistic. Ive tried my hardest to like castrol honda (because thats all there is for the moment) but i cant. Dont bother. >How is the Castrol Honda simulator? Is it better than MotoRacer2? >Scott
