Title: Race Pro
Post by: Horney on 27 October 2010, 16:23
Anyone on here got this?

Tempted to purchase it to sit between Forza 3 and F1 for some good old tintop racing. Can be picked up for £10 on ebay etc so thought it might be a cheap addition to my growing collection of Xbox games.

its a good game, i enjoyed the WTCC cars more than the others. takes a little getting used to just like F1 2010 did compared to forza

Cheers, reviews online seem to be a real mixed bag but for £10 I might just give it a go.

Ive got it and its pants. Played it a few times and thats it, would rather have a few pints than buy this game for a £10.

Should have just Paypaled you £8 instead of buying it off ebay then.

Anyhoo it's turned up today so will give it a whirl this week. Can't be any more of a disappointment than Force Unleashed II and that cost me £50!!!!!!

When I said it give a whilr I meant, put it in, do a race and see if it's any good then pop it on the shelf for playing some other time.

TBH I'm not gonna have much time to do jack with my xbox this week, got a ton of work to do in the evenings for the office. Wednesday night is OK though and hopefully I'll get enough time to jazz my S4 up a bit before then.

Just quickly did the first time trial/practice/get to know the controls thing and really like it already. The car sounds great, love the noise on shifting, sounds like a real race car. Physics seem good and I'm surprised at the graphics as everyone on the internet said they were rubbish. Sure they're not Forza 3 but they're still pretty good.

Just played a couple of races in Career Mode, a couple of single races and I'm well impressed TBH. 16 car grid round brands GP Circuit in 1987 Touring Cars (E30 M3 Evo, schweeeet!)? Awesome!

Edit: Oh yeah and flames out of the exhaust of the car in front on down changes, simple things make Horney happy :grin:

It's certainly not as pretty as Forza but the handling and feedback through the controller is way way better. It's almost as good as F1 2010 for giving you that real race achievement. I think it's one for the motorsport geeks though and not the casual gamer. It doesn't have flashy graphics or any in game music, just really good racing. Well worth the £8 it cost me.

Anyone else got this and fancy some online racing in a few weeks once I've learned the circuits a bit, give me a shout!

the track deforms, so no 2 laps are the same
