Anyone got a good word for SoS?

Before I download the demo, is there anything good to say? Which track is featured in the demo? And which cars? Thanks, - Michael

Donnington. Mercedes 154 The opening splash screen looks good. Stephen : Before I download the demo, is there anything good to say? : Which track is featured in the demo? And which cars? : Thanks, : - Michael

Michael, there is something good to be said about it. It can be DELETED!! Hielke

The only good thing I can say about it I'm glad they put out a demo so I didn't waste my money. What a disgrace. Bob

Uhhh.... maybe the demo is a beta, just like Rally Championship, and the full game will have GPL-like physics? Andre

I don't understand that. What is the use of a demo than? -- Groetjes Kees

LOL. I don't think so.

>Before I download the demo, is there anything good to say? The acronum "S.O.S" should provide for some amusing interpretations. That's the only good thing I can think of.

At this point, the MOST that can be hoped for is "half decent arcade physics that doesn't make Sega Rally look like GPL by comparison".

I wish I knew how to extract that pic but it was an 'ssb' file or something like that. I'd like to wallpaper it on my desktop. The rest of the download was a waste of time. glen

You get a four lap race at Donington in a Mercedes 154 I think. But it's not worth it. The game is utterly pathetic. It's not fun at all to me. I'd rather play the ancient Indianapolis 500 simulation than this... Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://members.xoom.com/simcrash1/simcrash

only one good word... tracks...... donnington must have been awesome at that level of non-safety and speed... and i enjoyed it.... and the force feedback in the demo sucks, but i'm an early GPL'er ,whose hoping that it can be that way....in time..... two words..... AVUS.....HURRY

It is one in a long list of titles that seems to have a lot of potential, but gets released far, far ahead of its time. A demo of a supposedly "sim" title that won't support split-axis pedals, has non-linear steering so wildly non-linear that the car is almost uncontrollable and no way to get out of auto-shifting mode (that I could find). Add in virtually non-existent FFB and you have a distasteful experience to say the least. For me, the graphics are fine, the sound is likely OK, the track selection is very good (although we only get to drive on Donnington in the demo), but very, very basic aspects of the title are wanting. Let's hope this is an early beta locked into arcade mode....that's the best I can say. And as the opening to this message suggests, the biggest disappointment is the failed potential. I don't think a title since CART:PR from MS has disappointed me more because I so wanted it to be good. Rally Championship may well be the next one unless it too is dramatically different than the demo. Marc.

Sack of Shit by the look of things in this NG:)

Well, my local game shop showed me the promotional brochure, that looked nice. I had just picked up N3 and was wondering whether I had made a mistake, until I saw the negative comments posted about SoS.
