Calling all Cars now available - Let's Play now!

I've found, while intensely fun (especially snatching cars last second and then scoring). It does get tired and it's not playable for very long. In that aspect this game is quite similar to motor storm, though this game BY FAR has way more intense VS action. Plus while marred by many similar problems with the online lobby and headsets working.... This game is way more polished than motor storm was.
 
I agree, simple party game that gets old after a while single player.
And after a longer while multiplayer gets boring too. (unless you people have headsets!)

10 bucks? Hell yeah.
 
Posting from Wii again, pc is busted. /sigh
Had a lot of fun trying to unlock new cars n such. I only got two unlocked though. The yellow racer, & the out-house on wheels. Many of these are super hard to unlock. I wonder if once unlocked can you use them online?

Yeah, you can use them online.
I've been using this Cat car, haha.

The only ones I haven't unlocked are the ones for Chief difficulty.
Way too freakin hard.
 
anyone getting lag in games? I didn't really notice it in the past week until tonite, perhaps it was just the 2 games I joined. My ping looked fine according to the bar though. I really wish all games would include # pings instead of the stupid status bar.

It also could have been that i've only hosted a majority of times or that my router is just retarded. Either way, just curious.

Yes, I had some in the last game I played.
Very annoying when things don't register hits.

I played a lot more last night and still didnt get a single other car unlocked. Freaking hard.

You can do it Brevity! Hehe.
I still can't get any of the Chief cars, damn, they're hard.
 
I think I'm going to reward myself and buy this for my birthday tonight. I'll try to add a few of you to my Friends list tonight as well.
 
its pretty fun. so far i've just unlocked the race car.

i only just discovered the turbo button.... i was wondering why everyone online was going so much faster and why i couldnt' bump ppl to knock out the robber consistantly.
 
WTf... what game is this?

Anyone else having problems getting online with this game? Every time I've tried going online, I haven't been able to...

lets just say it's the best game you won't hear about, aside from David Jaffe's rants.

Were you able to get in to the lobbies? If so, just join an open room and it should start up automatically.

nope. I can't connect at all...I get an error after the menu option to go online.
 
[quote name='MillerTime2523']:lol::lol:

So anyway, I take it this game was worth the Jaffe tirade?[/QUOTE]

This game is nothing to get all worked up over. I've only played a few games on it and from that I would give it about a 7ish rating. But I have barely gotten into and only played one level and haven't even tried online yet.
 
I just got my ass kicked by BREVITY and a couple others. It was good fun... I have no skill but how do you guys go so fast? I know about the turbo button... Everytime I got the robber, I was immediately bumped. Still fun times.

I was having some network issue with Resistance earlier so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
 
Wait. There's a nitro button AND a turbo button?!?!? Shit. No wonder I was so damned slow. :D I used the nitro button a bunch but it runs out. Turbo will be useful. Thanks. :)
 
[quote name='amicus']theres a nitro button (R2/L2) as well as turbo (X)[/QUOTE]

never knew x was a turbo.... I need to play this more.

i was the opposite. i only knew of the turbo. and i played a friend, and he totally destroyed me using the nitro. i was like HOW IS HE GOING SO #$#$^@ FAST!!!!!! but i accidently hit the nitro button, and leveled the playing field.
 
Wow... this game, is insanely fun.

Only played it for a bit. Im going to JUST play this game little bits at a time.

Very fun, definetally better because I got it for free (thanks mofo122).
 
The X turbo button is a bit retarded and there's no real need for it since you keep it pressed all the time anyway because it doesn't run out.

I never kept it pressed down. I never even knew it existed.
 
Played a lot of games last night. Everyones headsets were clear and since I hosted all of them they were great lag free games. So much freaking fun.

I wish I knew how to send game invites to friends or join their games like on XBL.

I hate that there is no guide to CaC I had to just muddle through what each setting did for hosting. I love that I found how to make it so people could enter a game thats already started.

I will be on hosting again tonight for sure, after I try to unlock a few more cars.
 
Guide for the game.

The premise is simple, but the ensuing action is anything but. There's no time to think, just drive, but in the chaos you'll have to squeeze in an ounce or two of strategy.

Welcome to Calling All Cars! Each map in the game requires different tactics that we'll break down for you. As well, we'll help you unlock the game's ten bonus cars with tips for the ten Achievement-esque challenges. But before you get started, check out our basic tips sheet for some clever tricks.

In this Calling All Cars! strategy guide, you'll find:

* BASICS // A quick tip sheet of easy-to-use strategies.
* MAPS // A run-down of every map with scoring tips.
* SECRETS // Hints for unlocking the game's ten hidden cars.

I just wish they would offer me a demo.....seems rather lame to not have one. They are still lacking behind.

Although, reviews have been positive, I still like to try first.

I wish more people would set that option!

What do you name your rooms? I'd like to join in if I see you.
 
I always name it BREVITY. The option is opt in or something its short name is sync I think up on the top before you enter a game.

IGN has a nice guide on the game on the front page today. Even has a tip or two in it for getting all your cars.
 
I don't know who I was playing in the CAG room tonight but we had a good time. We had to go into OT. I lost 14-12 but it was mad fun. :) I'm getting better at the game but I hate the "burbs" board because of the moving targets. I haven't quite perfected my aim/steering yet. :lol:
 
[quote name='DarkNessBear']I made a CAG room and I froze in the middle of the game and it kicked everone.[/QUOTE]
I was in there but I'm glad we all got kicked because I really don't like that board. I was the only one in there for about a minute and I was still only to score once. :lol: I did much better in the city.
 
I convinced a couple of my friends to throw down 2 dollars each and we bought this game last night. I ended up playing it for 4 hours, while another friend was the shit talker on the mic. It was really fun, I cant wait to go over there later on tonight to play more.

Hopefully some of you guys will be on later!
 
[quote name='Zoglog']HAHAHA I went on tonite and there were only 3 people playing o_O....[/quote]

I know man. Wtf is going on.

It was embarassing I had my friend play and he searched ALL games and only 6 games came up. 2 Were locked 3 were full and 1 had 1 dude in it.

I was just like... god...
 
Yeah. What's going on with this game? I played earlier today and there a total of 25 people on. In the entire world?!? I ended up playing a game with one other person but we still had fun. I was up 8 points with like 2 minutes left and came back and beat me. Damn. I have an excuse - my son was crying upstairs. :lol:
 
I think it really has to do with the lack of content. The game only works in spurts till it gets boring and repetitive. This would've done better as a portable online.
 
Calling All Cars! heading to PSP!

The latest issue of "PSP - The Official Guidebook" includes an interesting wee tidbit of information. The PS3 downloadable title Calling All Cars will soon be available to transfer over to your PSP, just like PS1 games. While there isn't much more information than that, currently, the magazine says that "comprehensive multiplayer modes in both Ad Hoc and Infrastructure" is to be expected. A release date will be available soon.

We think this is a great idea. The game definitely suits a handheld and, with full online multiplayer, we're definitely looking forward to getting it on our PSP. There's no word on how exactly it will work yet. Whether you will need to pay for it again or not is up in the air. Ultimately, we're looking forward to the day when you don't need a PS3 to download stuff like this for your PSP. Bring out that PSP online store, Sony.

Okay, I'll admit... I haven't picked this one up yet. I want to but I haven't felt the urge to jump in on all the fun yet. I might get it soon, but if this stuff about the PSP is true AND they can get some robust multiplayer options then I don't see how anyone on the fence still could past this one up.
