Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Well I downloaded it (700mb) so didnt take long. to put it simply...amazing ill be definatly getting it. It looks like PGR 4 in graphics terms but more realism in the looks for the european touring car race. the engine sounds on a surround sound The game is inbetween PGR4 and forza...more towrads forza without all the tuning. (maybe in full game?!?) The damage on it is incredible, you can wreck your car and have to just watch the rest of race if your not carefull. the demo allows you to race ETCC BMW race or American muscle car race...online!! 12 player online racing is great, alot of touching and bashing and has an incar view too. The controls can feel very weird (and hard) if use to forza but after a few races got use to it. you have to be carefull getting on the power or youll spin it and the tyre smoke can blind you and when you go on the gravel it flys up and anyone following cant see. It feels arcadey from outside the car, inside more realistic, I like the incar view coming over blind crests. You'll either love it or hate but well worth the download to take a look. Its a game about racing just like the developers said. anyone else played it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Cheers for the heads up, will download it now. Is it the end of the month that it comes out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 yea 30th. Loved the fact there is alot of banging and touching in the racing, proper touring car style. If you get a good room online it can be proper banging and touching, get it full of idiots they will take you out....my worse so far is 2 of us going through one corner i got bounced over the gravel, rolled it (onboard it looked interesting ) and smashed into tyre wall, luckerly dint wreck my car, decided to go to outside view as i couldnt turn left barely at all....the wheel wasnt in the best condition ive seen, with an angle more suited to drift cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 yeah I thought it looked promising and codemasters do a good job of racing games. My fear is that it still wont be as good as GTR2. Any one played both? Any idea if its avaliable to download on PC/PS3 yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamAhead Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Anyone been doing the time trial competition to win a BMW 3 series.... After many hours of play, I've managed to beat the ghost car at 1:17.60 (ghost is 1:17.72) You get given a code to enter on the website which then get's put on the leader board. While I was on there, I thought I'd check the top of the leader board scores Most are coming in at 1:14...with the top score of 1:13.91..... GOD KNOWS HOW YOU GET THAT KIND OF DARN SCORE!!!! Finding this game VERY frustrating Getting round bends seems very tricky (or is this just me?) So how are you guys getting on with it???

Thorin Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I'm downloading the demo on PS3 now, from looking at the back of the box the other day it looked a bit like Burnout from the screen shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wHIZz Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Sounds good! - didn't know about this one I'll be able to play it on my new 360 Elite which arrives tomorrow - mind you if it had only been available for the PS3 that wouldn't have been a problem - cos my new PS3 arrives at the same time :p:p:p:p:p Both birthday presents from 'er indoors (cos I couldn't decide between them) wHIZz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 sat on this for a bit on the PS3, its good fun bit weird on the steering seems to be a bit twitchy almost like theirs a dead spoit on the analoge pad. Bit like a more seriouse version of NFS but with that good old Codemasters damage engine and realisum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Jake needs alot more practise at this Im getting into the controls alot more and can go round much faster and stop the car sliding. 1.16.54 on the touring car track is my fastest time.
