Anyone get it yet? It's pretty fun. You don't need money to buy parts and stuff....you just have to unlock all the good sh*t. I've boosted a 2k3 Tibby up to 483hp. PLaying online is super smooth. You can also make up racing teams....which is always fun.

Bought it yesterday, couldn'T stop playing until midnight smile.gif

It wasn't in the games display at walmart. Had to ask if they have it. No wonder I was the first to buy it...

Got mine yesterday. I'm in love with it. The control does take a little to get used to though, as everyone will say.

I must say i had VERY high hopes for this game when i saw it's early development however i'm VERY dissapointed in the gameplay.

I understand it's meant to be an arcade racer, but WTF? ALL of the cars drive the same (fwd, rwd, awd) and all of them drift like crazy. I had a 2k3 tib spinning in circles without me controling the steering and it's circular motion characteristics were that of a rear wheel drive car going in circles!!!??!!

I'm sorry but these guys TOTALLY missed the mark here on car physics. If you're going to make a drifting game, Namco's ridge racer series hit it on the mark and i ALWAYS prefer traditional non-drifting car physics (unless physically expected like rally racing ala GT3).

If these guys gave an option to choose normal or drift, i believe this game would appeal to a broader audience and give an overall better driving feel. This game looks like it could be a 5 star hotel but drives like billy bob's motel 6.

If Sega makes a new Sega GT it will give Gran Turismo 4 a run for it's money. Sega GT 2002 is fun, just not as fun as Gran Turimo 3.

IMO, the ridge racer games BY FAR have the best soundtrack. tongue.gif smile.gif
