Bing Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 [COLOR=firebrick]So, I just got my XBOX on Boxing Day, and this game came free with it! I was playing it last nihgt, and I find it very challenging! Does anybody else have this game?[/COLOR] [COLOR=firebrick]You start off with 13,000 and you have to buy a car. Finding the right car is also really hard. I have found two good cars to buy as your first car. Peugout 206 is very impressive, but at exactly 13,000, it leaves no money for improvements. For around 11,000 you can buy a Fiat Punto, leaving you with some money to spend in the Parts shop![/COLOR] [COLOR=firebrick]So, owners, what was your first car? How good was it? What did you improve? Looking Forward to hearing your experiences![/COLOR] -Alexus Bing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 well i went with buying the fiat punto for 11,000 and then used some of the extra cash to improve the brakes and wheels and things although you can buy used parts which is like 10 times cheaper lol which is what i did and then went on to racing for the cups and winning lots of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Posted December 29, 2002 Author Share Posted December 29, 2002 I won the Stage 2, and I got given a free Cosmo Sport, which I sold for just under 10,000. I can't seem to pass my test, because I'm not very good at these racing games! If I try again, I probably will pass it though. How far have you got? In Quick Battle, I was extremely let down by how.'not-so-good'the Lotus Elise was. I guess it's better at looking good, then performing. Which is your favourite car?

Bing Posted December 29, 2002 Author Share Posted December 29, 2002 Yeh! Hee Hee, I always manage to really badly damage my car. It's realistic, but it annoys me a bit, because it dents your prize money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Yeah i cant seem to brake fast enough and just either smash into the side or spin out of control which makes me lose my lead which is annoying but im gonna just keep trying and winning races and buying a decent car.

Guest tubbyguts Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 it is superhard to control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Posted December 31, 2002 Author Share Posted December 31, 2002 Yes, it is. Do you have anymore of an opinion on the game, except for just 5 words? The controls are easier if you use the D-Pad instead of the joystick. Some cars at the beggining also have very poor hondling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 i use the d pad and i have now tried the peugot and i think i prefer it to the fiat for them time being and i tried doing this drag race and got completely beating lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Posted December 31, 2002 Author Share Posted December 31, 2002 [color=blue]Ah, yes, the drag race. I do like that race alot, but you gotta have a fast car. I mean, one that can do 0-60 in a very short amount of time. Sorry dude, but the Peugout 206 is the car that people's mums drive. It's not for drag racing. The Lotus Elise however...*drools and fantasises*[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Have you got the lotus elise, that must have cost alot i saw one car that was about £90,000 but it looked so cool and i hope if i win lots of races i can buy it and then i'll be able to thrash opponents in the drag racing.

Bing Posted January 3, 2003 Author Share Posted January 3, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] No, but I have driven it in Quick Battle mode, where you can drive most of the cars. There are better cars than that, but ever since me and Break saw one, sparkling at us, we fell in love with it. The Mercedes is worth a try, it's one of the ones in there, it handles like a beast![/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Is it 2 player and do you race against each other? actually thats a pretty stupid question because you probably would lol. I have fallen in love with some of the Jaguars as they look really cool and handle well and but i cant really be bothered to do the races as i find some of them really hard to do!

Bing Posted January 7, 2003 Author Share Posted January 7, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] Well, racing games in my opinion are better to rent out, then to buy. The loose there touch, like this one has. I am thoroughly bored with the game now. It's great looking, and the detail etc is superb, but when kick comes to shove, it's a racing game, and I can only have so much fun with one.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I am thankful that it was a freebie because i would not have spent about £40 to buy this game and i agree with you that racing games are better to rent out first although i do like the games like destruction derby and crash team racing, they are fun racing games.

Bing Posted January 7, 2003 Author Share Posted January 7, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] Heh, I don't think I have ever bought a racing game, I got Rage Racer free on PSX, and I got Ridge Racer Type 4 in a competion I won, and Sega GT free with the Xbox. Shows what I think of them[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 They would like to improve racing games and have more excitement although i dont find racing very interesting in real life the only time i find it funny is when they have it in comedy award things and like you've been framed and stuff.

Bing Posted January 12, 2003 Author Share Posted January 12, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] Accidents are funny. I think racing games are better when there is a bit of an alternative theme, or some violence involved. When there is a risk involved in any sport, it's funner. I was playing a quad bike racing game on my Xbox demo disk, the one I got free with XOM:UK, and you could kick other racers off their quads if you got near enough. It made the game a whole lot funner. Mario Kart as well, you had weapons etc. so it was funner. Racing games need more options to them. I do understand though, that Sega GT can't really include these, because it's meant to be realistic, but in some cases realistic is just plain boring. Ah, we'll just have to make do with the Drag Race heh?[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I dont know why they gave such good reviews for sega gt as its not that good it was getting like 9/10 scores but thats like what top racing games like gran turismo 3 and the collin mcrae games get and i think i have played a game like that when you can kick people off and i like dirt bike racing games as they are funny because you just go flying on the jumps.

Bing Posted January 18, 2003 Author Share Posted January 18, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] Sega GT got such rave reviews because it is very relaistic, and the graphics are mint. As a racing game, it's superb, all you could ever want, but I like a bit of humour, or a bit of action in all my games, so it doesn't really float my boat.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Yeah i suppose the graphics are really good and the cars look very realisitc but seeing as i am not interested in many racing games i dont believe it should have got as good reviews i would have maybe giving it like a 7 or 8 out of ten but thats just my oppinion.

Bing Posted January 21, 2003 Author Share Posted January 21, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue]Well, as the creator, I think this thread is finished. If anyone except Tommy Vercetti has anything useful to say, please post. In you opinion, and you're not a racing fan, so you should rate racing games...silly![/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
