CMR 3 should I buy it ???

Hi all, I'm not sure about this one. Hearing about CMR4 that doesn't have the central pivot point. That distubed me in the demo of CMR3. And the sound was horrible in the demo. So how is it ?? I like realism. Thats why I (still) love GPL. Opinions ?? THX in advance Tony

The demo made a pretty convincing argument for me not to purchase. Perhaps on a top-end machine things get really impressive with CMR3, but the graphics look just as nice on my machine in Rally Torphy, and run about twice as fast. The physics are much better in Rally Trophy, and with several add-on cars available to download, you can even have some WRC fun, but I still prefer the old loose, slidy, slow period cars in RT.

Do what I do and win a copy in the BBC online competition - then you won't have to pay for it and feel disappointed. To go back from CMR2 with all the extras (arcade type races, challenge races plus "proper" rally championship mode) to either championship or single stages is a complete disgrace. The car does pivot around the centre, and the ff on tarmac is nonexistent. Having said that, some of the stages look fabulous (particularly the UK ones), and the distracting effect of a helicopter blowing sand all around you when climbing a hill on the US stages is excellent. But for all that, I still object to having to lose 3gb on my hdd to a game which is essentially a prettier but far less playable sequel. And to cap it all, for Christ's sake, he a) doesn't drive for Ford any more and b) has a new co-driver!!! Glad I didn't pay for it..... (Still enjoy playing it a bit though......) Matt

You have to patch it up and get a 3rd party physics patch and you will then see that the physics engine in RT is quite advanced over CMR3.

We agree on this point, actually. I simply said the RT physics are great, you can have WRC cars in RT if you want, but I like the classic cars. Stephen

If you want something fun to drive that's no better or worse than any other rally title, pick it up. It's not like we have any realistic rally sims to play or any coming in the foreseeable future.

I read this part and thought you were talking about RT, but I now see you were talking about CMR3. "The demo made a pretty convincing argument for me not to purchase."
