while on topic, anyone seen this before? http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/driving/enthusiaproracing/index.html
Hhhmmmm Havnt heard of that one yet. Looks like gamespot are not too keen on the game... I suppose it would be near impossible to market a good car sim for the PS2 infront of GT4..
i'va rented the game to see if it was worth buying, but in my opinion it is. just trying to make time now to go and get it.
I rented it tonight, and I think it is "ok". Are there not any cheat codes for this game? I can't find any! I always cheat on rental games! If I had known I couldn't get a pimped-out Skyline from the beginning, I might not have rented it!
you can "pimp out" a skyline? here in oz we think of them as bogan'd or rice'd out, never pimp'd. of course we have A LOT of skylines on the road due to RHD and easy (comparitively) compliance. honestly, i thought the first "underground" was kinda fun... for an hour or two, and had that laughability that would endure a night of corn chips and beer with your mates, but it's not really werth buying. i remember waiting anxiously for NFS4:HS, and honestly, was NOT disappointed - considering the available gaming technology at the time -. me and my old man spent a month of insomnia playing that game, nowadays i'm just not sure such time on new games is as "well spent". there is of course the added fnck-off-factor of advertising, which in oz (likely same as US) consists of dumb-ass RnB/RapCrap music and homies talkin' over top about makin' a name for theyself. certainly not an inducement to those who come from a performance car worship background.
Got the Rx8 cranking at the moment! Good to see that they have recorded a fairly decent rotor sound! Check out www.gamefaqs.com for info and cheats (dont know if they work though)
I just got the Audi TT, but the only car I have actually driven so far is the Miata. I have tried a few other cars, but I love the lightweight, rear wheel drive. The Miata has about 255hp right now, and stage II of pretty much everything except transmission stuff.
I am referring to the Miata as the lightweight, RWD car that I love. I haven't even driven the TT (and probably won't). The Miata is pretty tough to win drag races with, but I kick butt in everything else. I actually lapped 3 competitors on a six lap URL race
Damn.... That fast. My RX8 hauls ass at the moment. Had it upto 340km/hr on the freeway....Stage 2 NOS going nuts.....then i hit the wall!!!
Is the Supra Turbo available in the game, or just the "Supra" ? I got a Supra, but it is the naturally aspirated version. It sucks!
Sounds like agood plan. Getting a little tired of having to traverse the city..... Anyone finding it hard to make $ in the game?
i got bored yesterday so i went and rented it. it sat around my apartment for like six hours before i remembered that i got it, so i stuck it in, and well, i'm actually quite impressed with it. as mentioned earlier, the first underground was mildly amusing, but nothing worth playing for more than a couple hours, this one i ended up spending all night playing and am sad i have to take it back tonight. they seemed to fix all the issues that there were with NFS:U and really honed the gameplay. of course i'll be bored of it soon enough, but it's the sort of game i can imagine losing a few hours a night to for a good couple of weeks. quite surprised.
oh, and i should mention the SOUND, they've really captured no just the engine notes, but many of the idiosyncrasies like throttle lift-off and gurgling, plus the tyre screeches are way cool, and the ambient noises are brilliant. every now and then you just hear the dull sound of a V8 thundering away way off in the distance... the first few times i thought it was someone having fun in a monaro a few streets away.
