Is there a sense of speed when playing this game? Thanks ======================================= "Forget 911.....I dial .357 "Trespassers will be shot.Survivors will be shot again." =======================================
in a word, yes! Talladega Greg

It really matters what you want to compare it to. At the long Dayton track, I really didn't feel like I was doing 190MPH, more like I was doing 80. But thats my opinion. GPL so far has the best sense of speed for me. But that's just me. Jesse

The sense of speed is OK, the physics are remakable, ideal for those of us who find GPL too frustrating but still want more than an arcade racer. Balance! Fun! That's this game.

I'd agree with the balance, fun, and remarkable physics comments, but for me the sense of speed was nearly nonexistant. On some of the tracks, it's downright unbearable how different what you are seeing is from the speed you are supposedly going. I would love to see them fix this, and get some more inspired track graphics, in any sequel they might do. BTW: are there even rumors of a sequel yet?

I haven't heard anything official yet, but I believe MGI would like to have another racing title ready for this year's Christmas shopping season. I don't know if they're working on anything yet or just hoping, but keep your fingers crossed . . . -- JB

sense of speed depends on which camera view you use. The in car seems the slowest. The suspension cam is the best. Doug.........Lifelong die hard Boston Bruins fan....Driving Sim racer....avid Sam Adams drinker....3 Stooges fan....Proud American !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suspension can is the one I always use, it gives the best sense of speed and lets you plant the tires within inches of the edge of the track curves (good for picking up tenths of a second!)

The sense of speed isn't great, but the game is awesome. It reminds me of Need for Speed SE for some reason. I imagine I'll still be playing Viper in a year from now. For reference, NFSSE is probably my favorite sim with GP2 and MGPRS2 both coming in second. I think Viper will now take second place .. I love this game. :)
