^Cool

Still have to set my wheel up too...

got the game yesterday. really bad frame rate issues, plus LOTS of stuttering during races (many bad words spoken...). returned it and got another copy. similar probs but not as bad as before. be advised. also, steering feels VERY slippery - could be because i do lots of pgr, who knows...looks beautiful, though

Studering is from a bug, the patch should be out soon. I can find the link from a Codemasters forum post if you want the proof.

I've had no frame rate issues or stuttering at all. The only thing that is a tad annoying is that sometimes when playing online the lag causes the cars to come in and dissappear sometimes. SO basically you don't see your opponent and then suddenly there he is.

Picked this game up, not really a racer fan, and this game is so MUCH FUN! I wish xbox supported the PS2 wheel that turns like a real car.

Great game, but the stuttering is annoying. Should've fixed this before release as it really breaks up the flow of races.

Also, no split screen single console multiplayer? BOO.

Ha when do they ever do single split screen multiplayer. Might be Xbox Live's fault on that though since they want you to do Co-op with an online friend now and days.

Glad I'm going to rent this first (still broke), I'd say I'd love this game, but this way I can see if I have any fps problems and such. Remember clearing your hdd cache fixes frame rate issues as well if you have any.

Patch will be out next week to fix the issues with the stuttering problem.

Just bought this new for $36.48...how is it overall? Fun? Frustrating? How's the online multiplayer?

That's a killer price, where'd you get it?

Its basically the demo, just more cars/modes/tracks. Play it as an arcade racer, and you won't be disappointed (its even more arcadey than PGR)The flashbacks really make this game stand out, since it can be frustrating when you mess up on the last lap of a long race.

And the experience of midnight races alone almost makes the game worth it.

As far as online goes, its your standard points style racing game. You still have to deal with horrible drivers, country bashing ,etc.

Well, i likely wouldn't have paid $60 for this, but for the price i was able to get it for, sounds like the perfect price point for what the game offers. Any CAGS race online together?

I like it a lot. I had some problems with slowdown and framerate stuttering during the first couple hours but nothing since. The game is essentially a more arcade-like version of PGR3 since you can't win a race by just hitting the gas throughout the entire race, but cars accelerate really quickly and the handling is more loose than a sim-type game. I think it's a lot of fun though, there's a bunch of different types of races, and just switching from open wheel races to muscle cars feels different. The flashbacks keep the game from being frustrating since if you make a mistake you can rewind and try it again, though depending on the difficulty level you are limited to the number of times this can be used.

Only played once online and the online was smooth, but I played Destruction Derby Race and it bugged me that totalled cars seem to disappear, which they don't do in single player.

Well I had this on my gamefly Q but it was at a low availibility rate, that and Xplay gave it a 5 out of 5 so I scrapped up some money and put it in my bank. Got it off amazon and had to pay tax, what crap, glad I still get free shipping. I can't wait to get the game, I've been playing PGR4 the past couple of days and just love these kind of games.

Well I finally got to play the demo which was on the OXM disc! I thought it was a good demo, I liked what I saw and played but man I sucked at drifting. I'm still waiting for the game to come in the mail from Amazon...living out in the Boonies sucks lol.

The demo grew on me...bought the full game and i just can't stand the handling. Honestly, what were they thinking? eBay'd for $47.99.

I thought the handling was good, kept it interesting instead of accurate. It's not a forza. Anyways I finally got the game today and I've played a lot so much, can't put it down. I hit two people in mid air on the derby race, lol omg. If you're into arcade racing games this is a must.
