He asked what was the best, not was the most realistic. Big difference when it comes to entertainment. Bruce. "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Xj9Ja.10693$[email hidden]... > > > CMR3 is not a realistic rally sim. >

But isn't asking what the best "Simulation" the exact same as asking what is the most realistic? If we are going by eye-candy, then I'd get GPL out of there.. it looks a little dated by now.

He did say "sim" though Bruce, not game. To me and I think many others, that automatically implies realism as well. CMR is really arcadey, so it gets almost no points on realism. -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash "Bruce Kennewell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3ef54341$[email hidden]... > He asked what was the best, not was the most realistic. > Big difference when it comes to entertainment. > > Bruce. > "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:Xj9Ja.10693$[email hidden]... > > > > > > CMR3 is not a realistic rally sim. > > > > >

Well - the term "best" is subjective. In other words, it is defined by opinions and, as we are well aware, everyone has differing opinions. Therefore, in my opinion, "best" in this context relates to overall enjoyment and the "eye-candy" (as you refer to it) is only part of the recipe. I just happen to like the three games I mentioned..........i.e., it's my subjective opinion. Bruce.

The original person said "I highlight the word SIM". That excludes such arcade games like CMR3, whatever fun they may be. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://ymenard.cjb.net/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

A little premature? It's not actually out. I believe it's released today. Dou

> A little premature? It's not actually out. I believe it's released today. Well, kind of... It was on the shelves on June 19 in New Zealand. I've got it in my hot little hands now....first impressions are very positive.
