Redline Racer sucks

This game is very annoying. Only three tracks (it won't let me access any of the others, and there are no working cheats I can find), horrible control (the demo was better), no options (not even basics like controlling the number of racers or laps) and HORRENDOUS AI (bike ramming you from behind and such). A real disappointment. Will Ubisoft ever make a decent arcade racer? I'm starting to doubt it. Joe

I'm assuming that you have to win the races of the playable tracks in the highest level of difficulty. to be able to access the other tracks. My main problem with this arcade racer (as you stated) was the controls. It's horrible. The steering is not sensitive enough, and give you a huge amount of dead-zone. When riding, my TM wheel is always going to the extreme right or left, while everything in-between does nothing for bike control. I have no idea how they could have left this problem in the release.

A steering wheel is closer to a Motorcycles' Handles than a keyboard, joystick, or gamepad. I've tried it in MotoRacer also, and I find it better than any other controller.

I did, but on those dirt bike tracks, no way. I have no problems with a Gravis Gamepad Pro. -- Captain Dark Phoenix Join the world's best CO-OP clan! http://www.globalserve.net/~goldenhawk/quake2/ ICQ # 5905329 >A steering wheel is closer to a Motorcycles' Handles than a keyboard, >joystick, or gamepad.
