DON'T BUY TOCA RACE DRIVER

A warning will just do, I hope... Don't say that I (and thousands of others) didn't warn you... I hope the Codemasters guys can read... which I seriously doubt...

I haven't played it myself, but from what I've read it apparently drives like shit, so I won't even bother with it, no matter how good it looks.

Read the reviews above and have cancelled my order :) No point in buying the game if you're unable to steer the car!

I'd pre-ordered it some time ago as I've always beed a fan of codemaster's racing games such as TOCA and Colin but after trying out the latest demo I cancelled straight away. It just doesn't drive right, even the older demo of it was much better and it doesn't even look that good and the cut sceens are just appalling and a waste of time. I'm sticking to GTR2002 Some Call Me Tim

But in this news group everything drives like shit except one particular sim. The should at least rename the newsgroup for crying out loud. *Wonders how many other newsgroups would tolerate "I ran a 1:34.8 at Los Lomos Raceway" posts.* GJ "Ice D" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:MVDha.216326$[email hidden]... > > "Doug Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote: > > > Just read some of the posts here - it looks niceish - sounds good ish - > nice > > variety of tracks and cars ( even if very inaccurate) - but it driveslike

I had it on pre-order and then when I tried the demo I switched the pre-order to F1 Career Challenge. EA's not perfect but I love F1 2002. - Tom N.

I tried the demo for the first time this morning and although I kinda enjoyed parts of it the poor steering was a real disappointment. Plus going to the race after completing the driving test twice caused my PC to reboot!! Anybody else found that?

Is this the same game that is coming out for the Xbox called 'Pro Race Driver'? I was really looking forward to that game. "Trick Dacy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a8Bha.13244$[email hidden]...

I don't imagine it would be called any differently, but even if it were I wouldn't worry. It'll probably be fine on the Xbox. The control problems are specific to the PC version, AFAIK. Jan. =---
