Hi all, So I checked out this video available at: http://www.racer-xtreme.com/video.php It looks great! I love that 350Z model.. nice. Anyway, I then downloaded Racer to give it a whirl, and as it comes installed it seems nothing like the video. I realise there are downloadable cars and tracks, but what I'm wondering is if the game is really at a "worth-playing" level yet? Live For Speed with some of those graphics would be killer.

Racer is mainly a "car showroom" sim at the moment. It has the best looking car models of any sim (easily eclipsing even GTR 2002 and the GPLEA, IMO) but it also has the worst looking cars of any sim. Physics is there in theory, but unfortunately in practice the driving experience is lacking - a great sim for tweakers but not at all easy to "pick up and play". From a car modeller or track modeller perspective it's superb. If that's not you, well, come back in a year :0) Jim

Yeah, that is the impression I got. I just wanted to see if a solid game could be revealed through tweaking. I hope it gets finished; it looks like it has incredible potential!
