I saw this demo is up at the Adrenaline Vault: [link lost in import] Has anyone gotten this yet, and is it worth the download? 9.3 MB, and it supports 3Dfx. -- Scott's Photo Gallery http://www.soltec.net/~goatboy [link lost in import]

The graphics are quite good, but the game is nothing more than an arcade game. If you are younger than 10 years, you might enjoy it. >Has anyone gotten this yet, and is it worth the download? 9.3 MB, and >it supports 3Dfx.

It says in the readme that the demo is setup in arcade mode and that in the full version will have full simulation mode. chris
This "game" was on my HD for about 24 hours. Didn't impress me Tim A. Deatherage "admitted sim ***" >I read recently that this is supposed to be a full on sim. Johnny was quoted as saying >that GP2 was getting old and it was time for something better! This'll be good!

I read recently that this is supposed to be a full on sim. Johnny was quoted as saying that GP2 was getting old and it was time for something better! This'll be good!

It is weak. It pales in comparison with GP2 and F1RS. It is more along the lines of Andretti Racing. > I read recently that this is supposed to be a full on sim.

Are you guys talking about the demo or the full version? It's not released yet is it?

> Whatever....it's not worth it. > > Are you guys talking about the demo or the full version? It's not released yet is it? You might be right, but most demos are pretty bad. What is the release date? Larry

Pudden jones wrote Hmm yeah sure.. marketing deal. That just means that in the full game the "full simulation" mode is nothing more than the arcade version with a full length GP + qual. Not a better game engine or more setups...

I admit the gameplay is a crap, but I think that the driver's point of view is much better and realistical than in GP2&F1RS. - Javi -
