This thread has been linked to the game 'Auto Modellista'.
Saw that it's only 19.99 brand new in Game. Is it worth it ?, couldn't find any video's etc on OPS2M Demo discs, looks great and as I love diriving games I think I will have to get a copy next week.
Anyone completed it and what score would you give it out fo 10 ?

Yip, certainly worth 20 quid, I won't go into detail about the game because I have a review on this site about it, but it's a pretty solid game that tries something different.
Sorry El Nå†ßu©, couldn't help but be picky on such an inviting post! LOL!

He clearly stated that he loves DRIVING games. Now that usually means that he likes reallistic driving, which is why I pointed this out. it's up to him what he makes of it.

GT3 was great as there was so much challenge and plenty of rewards. Auto Modellista is far too easy because you can race suped-up supaer cars in the early 'Family car' races! Not good.

Hmmm, clearly you are getting the wrong end of the stick. Any fool would realise I was refering to a range of car parts rather than changing an engine into a win. And I was refering to wings as in side skirting ect, not flying wings. Duh.

Well there's always the chance that he didn't know this. Not everyone knows the ins and outs of every single game.

So that means what? Did the title of the game say "Auto Modellista: no understeer with powersliding" on the box? Nope. You don't like the handling, others might.

You moan when you have to struggle to unlock the good cars, you moan when yet get them made available straight way; what do you want? Oh, and one more thing; does the game actually hand a plate out of the screen with everything on it (just as you described)?

No you can't "spray" any part of your car. Firstly, you "change the colour of parts", and secondly, you can't change the colour of the windows or tyres, so your statement is incorrect.

So you can change all parts of an engine to new wings, implying that engines can be made of wings? Again, an incorrect statement.

So, you make a garage out of posters? You just can't seem to get the hang of this can you?

I'd give it a 7/10. It's a good solid game, but it's let down by two important factors. One is the cars handling. No matter what drive the cars have, they always seem to understeer a great deal. Also you can't seem to powerslide the cars. The second bad thing about the game is the ease. Everything is handed on a plate to you, so all you need to do is pick the best car (All decent cars are already unlocked) and you're away. However, the great customise options are great. You can spray any part of your car, change all parts from engines to new wings. Also there are loads of posters and other things to unlock which you can make your own garage with. I think with you bein a driving game lover then you will like the game, but don't expect it to be anything great. It's still worthy of a bash though. :) Oh, and the visuals are Cel Shaded.
Saw that it's only 19.99 brand new in Game. Is it worth it ?, couldn't find any video's etc on OPS2M Demo discs, looks great and as I love diriving games I think I will have to get a copy next week.
