Simulation, what simulation???? It can't even be played with a steering/pedal set.
The lack of a controller really takes all the fun out of racing games.
This is an Arcade Racer pure and simple that you can bunch up to an infinite number of other equally lame titles. The graphics are fine, if you have a good card, but that's all. Too much smoke without fire.
Sound is horrible, handling horrible, simulation non existing, very poor damage phisics and too easy for any hardcore gamer. To top all that the single player championship is just, a single player championship. Unlock new cars, new tracks......for an arcade at least it could have a story like other arcade racing games, where you had to go up the ladder....it really lacks something.
Waste of time and money, if you take into account that there are some older racing games, therefor much cheaper, that can get your blood pumping, like the old Geoff Grammond's GP4, or any older simbin games race 07, GTR2 or GT legends. They all are fantastic "sofa simulators". And as far as Arcade Racers go, even any need for speed game it's better than this.
If simulation is your game, Rfactor is the name.
