What MarkRyan said is true. It was a fun game. It just had a glaring flaw. If you can suspend disbelief, you'll probably love it.Quote:

Basically, it force you to drive like a grandma on every slight curve, heck, on straightaways, I dare not touch the control pad.... You can get better by sticking with it (slow way down to turn and try not to touch the gas pedal) and by upgrades... but there are so many superior racing games out there, why subject yourself to a shitty racing engine just for the cool graphics?Quote:

* Out Run 2 & C2C : Nothing else needs to be said other than get both of them.
* Battle Gear 2 & 3 : These arcade racers have Japanese street type settings and yes- Japanese licensed cars. Mazda, Toyota (even a Supra), Honda, Nissan, and Mitsubishi are there. BG has several different views including a true cockpit one.
* Sega Rally 1 on Saturn : Better graphically than PS Ridge Racer. The frame rate is a rock solid 30.
* Sega Rally 2 on Dreamcast: Put in both the U,A,D,D,L,R,B,B,D (reduce detail) and U,A,D,D,L,R,B,B,U (lock at 30 FPS) codes to get a rock solid 30 FPS with no slowdown. The game play is actually decent. It's a shame you have to resort to this since Sega didn't do all they needed- but this is better than the normal unsteady framerate hell.
Seconded... and not just because I imported a PS2 at launch to play it.Quote:

Racing games are pretty fun.
Wipeout 3 is the best of them all.Quote:
