It was on the lastest cover disc from OPM2, your thoughts, I thought the handling was hardwork but after looking at their website I am please to see lots of cars and tracks, release date 28/9 or 1/11?. These developers seem to work to different calendars to the rest of the world!

Even Le Mans 24 which was quite impressive is so far behind GT3 - I dont think anything will come even close!!

The graphics are good, but not as good as GT3 by a mile. If it had been released before GT3 it might have had a chance.

It plays like a t**d. releasing the demo was a fatal mistake as it is so weak compared to gt3, though I remember the gt3 demo ages ago was not all that hot imo.

Shame, it looked promising.

What amazes me is, the demo is SO bad, did they really thing it would help sell the game?!

Altering the options (Auto braking etc) make huge improvements to playability. There is no contact email address on the official site, was this done on purpose ?????

I haven't seen the demo of this game but you guys have just put me right off of seeing it or buying it.

I'll be advising my mate who was going to buy it not to as well.

Thanks :)

Once you alter the options (Auto Braking etc), it gets better.
Steering is best woth the stick, the control pads seem to have a five second delay !!.
Shame there isn't an email address to get in touch with the developers on their site.

It's rubbish, I don't know why they bother.

The graphics were very plain and the game is poo in a word, Seeing the driver was a good thing and one of the steering options was fanastic where you pull down the analog stick to turn but other than that it's garbage.

That demo was absolute crap. Now that GT3 is out other companies should give up making games in the same style unless they are amazing. Instead they should focus on the wipeout/f-zero area of racing.

Hmmmmm, it wasnt bad but it wasnt exactly brilliant either - I may not bother with it as there are tons of better racing games to come!!
