Got the game today. The F-50 is great! I let the other guys go for the first two turns to avoid the traffic jam and have all five of them beat by turn four. The F-50 just kicks ass. I don't know why but the 360 seemed too twitchy. The 355 spyder was a blast. | ||

Cheats. I don't know any of them personally, but my friend that has it used them to avoid that problem. You can often look them up online, or in a video game magazine. | ||

I'm thinking about getting Project Gotham Racing this weekend. What's the fastest way to get into the Ferrari's ? I hate games that make you waste time in a VW Bug. | ||

Yes, the game's handling is interesting. If I turn off the traction control in my car, the tail will step out if I force it. What the game cannot convey is the dead solid, on-rails feel of the 360 Modena at speed. But what I really like about it is the ability to bang up my car and drive like a crazy guy in realistic streets.  | ||

I have never driven a 360 or even sat in one but it is fun to drive. The one in the game spins out easily and i would imagine the real one has wonderful handling. I do like your black one that is the color i want. | ||

Funny, Project Gotham Racing's 360 doesn't "drive" like the one in the garage. I wish I could have the tach pegged at 8500 all the time without consequences in real life! HA! One problem though. I couldn't select black as my car color in the game. | ||

Well, all the parts finally arrived-dreamcast console, F355 Challenge and Wheel(w/shiter). And, well...its okay. As you probably know there is only one viewpoint, in car, which I have never really liked. My philosophy is that if it's an in car view you could be driving a Yugo with a nice dash. Maybe its juvenile, but to me its more fun to see the car I'm driving. Thought it might be different since it was Fcar based and I liked the arcade version, but no. It's a shame too because the physics, graphics and sound are awesome. The physics are the best i've ever seen (never played GT3, though). | ||

Good deal Erich. I have to start watching ebay for these deals. | ||

I used to have the original Playstation and I actually liked NFS 3. It wasn't that realistic, but it was better than arcade-type racers and there were some really good cars. I saw they are coming out with a Lotus Challenge type game for the PS2 where you drive nothing but Lotus(what's the plural on that-Lotui!?) Let's hope Ferrari Challenge is next. I was hesitatnt on the Dreamcast f355 because I once played the arcade version to the point of boredom. That being said, today I saw a dreamcast being auctioned on ebay, kinda cheap; and a F355 challenge being auctioned on ebay, kinda cheap; and a mad katz wheel being auctioned on ebay, kinda cheap. Figured it was fate that they were all available-so I got them. About $115 total, but that's with shipping | ||

Need for Speed did always suck, but the new porsche unleashed did sort of redeem the name. It still isnt that real though, but its an improvement. | ||

Sega Japan did F355. Bizarre Creations out of England did Project Gotham. Two different development houses, two different driving models. And even though the Dreamcast is a dead system, spending $100 on a DC, copy of game, and steering wheel will be the best $100 you've spent. I've logged thousands of miles on that game. The game actually motivated me to buy a Ferrari. | ||

Need for Speed always sucked to put it simply. I have NFS 3 on Playstation One and it's totally unrealistic. I would suggest not wasting the money. Project Gotham is pretty cool though. | ||

Thanks, I've played 355 challenge in the arcade, problem is that Dreamcast is a dead system. I did find out that need for speed 2: hot pursuit is coming out for Playstation 2 and will at least include the F-50, also saw a Porsche GT V-10. | ||

Dreamcast had F355 challenge and now 360 challenge. Marvellous graphics and sound! Try Altavista or something else you can find enough info about them (screenshots , videos...) | ||

over the years, the car makers have gotten more savvy about their marquee value in video games. i don't know what studios/publishers own what, but you rarely see a game these days with all the cool stuff in it. as a fan of these games, i personally find that annoying, but they still manage to take my money from me. doody. | ||

Does anyone know if Ferrari has an exclusive software license for its cars? Gran Turismo 3 for the PS2 has 140 cars, including alfa, lancia and fiat, but no Ferraris. I heard the same group that developed the Ferrari 355 Challenge for the Dreamcast worked/made Project Gotham racing, maybe that explains it. |
