Toca Race Driver New Demo - Link Here

It's pretty and fun and has absolutely *no* physics realism whatsoever. Not to be too harsh, but ... :) http://www.avault.com/pcrl/demo_temp.asp?game=tocarace [96MB] ==================================================================== War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. - John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) ====================================================================

Tracks - very very inaccurate Sound - bad Menus - very Bad Controller Setup - very very bad Physics - no existant. And I mean that. this isnt aimed at the GT3 market, or the F355 market - it's aimed at people who like, I dunno - who the hell IS is aimed at. It's an RPG ( and so very VERY cringeworthy at that - think Mafia meets Toca 2, less the physics ) Doug

The ps2 version had a code that you could enter which gave it fairly decent physics, although the graphics are pretty poor in the ps2 version compared to GT3 and the like. The pc version if it has the same code tweak, combined with alot nicer graphics and hopefully more cars on the track in a race, could be a decent buy. I will reserve judgement for the retail version.

Graphics setting and test go well, but crash to desktop when going to track (I assume, after setting gearbox and hitting continue). Athlon XP2000+, 512Mb RAM, Win98se, DX8.1, GF3 Ti200 (v29.42 drivers). Oh well, I'm overdue downloading the GTR2002 v1.2 update anyway. Jan. =---
