"I've finished TOCA !"

Well almost, I completed the Lola World Championship (on my first go) in the early hours of this morning. I had a total of 7.35 million in prize money. If you have over 8 million you go onto 2 extra bonus leagues (Elite A & B, I think).
After the Lola Championship, you do get the chance to go back to any tier and race in series you haven't taken part in or want to improve your score/prize money on.
I will have to do a few more races tonight to pass the 8 million mark and unlock the extra championships.
Cannot wait !
My overall opinion is that it is a great game, shame about the pop-up, I just get the feeling it was rushed to meet a deadline.
Great game and one I will keep coming back to, but GT3 is still the King.

Too right. Watching AI controlled cars making a mess at the first corner is worth it, especially if you follow up and create Carmageddon (ha!).

Hmm... you've all reminded me of TOCA.

*Runs off to play it*

that did cross my mind Delta, but it's probably tiny insignificant logo's that cause 90% of slowdown.
Still mustn't moan it is a great game, can't wait for a few more goes tonight.
Elite leagues here we come...

I think the devlopers had no choice - they HAD to include the sponsor names, no matter how crap they look in-game.

Nat, surely a sponsors logo or two should have been dropped in favour of slow-down ?, which is more important to the gameplay ? small logo's you cannot read from any distance or slowdown.

Too right, cipro. Although TOCA on the PC will be better than its older PS2 version, I doubt people (like me) who have purchased the PS2 version will buy it again. It's a shame they don;t come out simultaneously on all formats - then I'll be able to take my pick! (except for the Xbox)

Or if like me you spend under £1000 on a PC, with a nice comfy chair, great control set up, a surround sound speaker system, a massive screen and the ability to upgrade the computer to what ever spec you want, and you have a great set up for an awesome games playing machine.

A bit crap at racing games though.

I have to disagree about it being rushed. For a start the game was set to be released ages ago in february when it was then put back to July. Then Codemasters realised their game could be better and put the date back again so they could iron out the problems.

I think the main problem with the graphics is because (If you read Playnation you will know this :)) the PS2 has trouble with textures and the sponsors on cars take up alot of memory. Also add to the fact the game has lots of cars and ace AI and great damage, it's a wonder Codemasters got the game to run on the PS2 at all. I wouldn't expect the XBox version to be miles ahead neither. When both consoles are pushed to the max the XBox is only marginally better. If you want to see TOCA's full potential spend 2 grand on a top spec PC and put up with umcomfy chair, crap controller, and pin hole size screens. The joys of PC gaming :D

I really enjoy the game but do feel the PS2 version was rushed - we have been the gunea pigs this time, Xbox and PC versions may be better (and released later in the year) but hey we still have GT3, Xbox and PC owners will never get or be able to beat that !

Darwock,

a) Have you seen the Xbox version? No, as no shots have been released for it.

b) At first I thought the handling was a bit simple but type in SIM in bonus and it is so much better. The races are a lot more harder.
