Hello Fellow R.A.S.ers; I have not seen this many posts on one sim since GPL. Comment/Question: I dowloaded the demo tried it & I didnt see anything great! What am I missing? Is the full version that much better? All constructive opinions are welcome.. Cheers... Thom_j. aka ^Fretts.. no_spam.n2rif1.vcf < 1K Download

I think it is a good mixture between true SIM (GPL) and true arcade (NFS). I am a true SIM fan. I have every title that Papyrus has ever put out. GPL has taken SIMs to the next level. As far as I can see, no one else can touch it. I bought SCGT, and I am having a blast with it. It's not GPL, but at least I didn't have to spend 2 months learning how to drive it, to be competitive. The full package has a career mode where you purchase a GTQ car and if you win, you earn money, and buy upgraded parts to be more competitive and win more money and eventually buy into higher class cars so you can compete in GT3, GT2 or GT1. I wouldn't use the cheat codes because it will take away from the challenge of really getting to the higher classes >Hello Fellow R.A.S.ers; >I have not seen this many posts on one sim since GPL. >Comment/Question: I dowloaded the demo tried it & I >didnt see anything great!

I hate to admit it, but I did use the cheat codes to get the cars and tracks. But I still end up racing at Chatham, I like that rack the most! It seems to have a bit of everything in it. And as for the cars, I just couldn't wait to drive the Porsche GT1 - my favorite in the real series. But guess what, I got hooked big time on the MB CLK and Panoz GTR-1 more than the Porsche. I know you think the cheat codes take away from the game, but damn, it is so darn much fun racing the GT1 cars! And it is really interesting when you used mixed classes! But believe it or not, in one race a GT2 car came in 2nd overall - beating out quite a few of the GT1 cars!

Very intense racing action. You can spend many laps in the pack, bumping, tapping, etc. All this contact yet very rarely is there a frustrating spin or crash. I find with most sims I try to get AWAY from traffic so I don't rub and crash, in this one I love to be right in the middle! Nice variety of cars and tracks. Good feeling of working through the classes and earning the next car. Mediocre multiplayer code but fun as hell (me and a buddy both have cable modems and I host with a PII 450 yet can't race with more that 5-7 ai cars). Easy to play, hard to master at the higher levels. Very good game. > Hello Fellow R.A.S.ers; > I have not seen this many posts on one sim since GPL. > Comment/Question: I dowloaded the demo tried it & I > didnt see anything great! What am I missing?
