yo.... i was playing this game for 90minutes today at EB... it cots NZ$69.95.. or maybe AU $50-55... :D

its pretty cool... but everytime i put on my brakes, i locked up, and spun around.. everyime i did a spin, or come into a corner too fast, i always spun exactly 180 degrees.. argh.. and no neutral... argh.... i was trying to do burnouts.. its like its got tractioon control or something.. for first 50minutes i was racing some other weird name track...
anyway, when I finally didnt crash tooooo much, i managed a 1:00. flat.. the track name was like xxxxknup .. oh god.. aussie names.. i have no idea.. lol...

and then i realised there WAS a bathurst track and racedd that.. haha.. 14 people pit.. starrt last, into first corner in 4th place.. just go right down the left side.. anyway, i won fairly easy.. did 2:30 first lap, and 2:20.0 2nd lap... and could go faster.. maybe 2:15.... whats a good time?

one thing, in watching the Bathurst 1000 live, u see their speeds are 285-290... anyway, i came onto the straight basically at 0km/h coz i hit the last exit rail.. lol.. and my car was badly damaged, yet i got to 295km/h before the end of the straight and the elbow.... a damaged car like that should only hit maybe 250 or something.. :rolleyes:

still overall seemed good...
7/10 my rating...

PU: 9/10 :p

I got mine for $64.95


The guy at EB said they lowered the price by a few $ because it took to long to release so its a "bonus" for us customers

its because like all games the selling price is only reccomended ... reccomended retail price

mmm 69.95 here... but that is 50-55 Australian.. :p


plus shipping is somewhere in that.. so surprised NZ is cheaper.. :D



I played some more now at Electronics Boutique....
I didnt know there were Formula DICE cars, or whatever they are.. damn those are crazy... any lower gear than 4th or 5th, and u spin out easy with some gas... and down conrad straight, the cars were hitting over 350km/h before the uprise, although nearing the limit.. i must say 370 must be doable.... i dont really know.. i was playing on keyboard again...... still a fun game, and the sound seems good, but i couldnt really notice it well on cheap PC speakers.. on home speakers would be good with my subwoofer...

:love:
