Pro Race Driver (PC) Video

I know this game has dropped of the radar around here. I just read this brief review and watched this video: <http://www.activereviews.com/modules.php?name=Reviews&rop=showcontent&id=11 5&page=4> While this game won't challenge GTR 2002, it MAY have the right blend of sim-lite physics, competitive AI (based on PS One title Jarret/Labonte Racing with good AI), nice tracks and decent damage model to be a fun change of pace. -- Joe M.

FYI... You have to have Divx installed to see this. Larry "Joe M." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I know this game has dropped of the radar around here.

Looks pretty stupid being played with a keyboard or digital gamepad or whatever. Also quite silly with the powerslide around the corner.. But it does look nice in motion. Is the "SIM" cheatcode goign to be included in the PC version? If so, what will it change? Mike http://mikebeauchamp.com "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:hBAX9.52745$[email hidden]...

Video doesn't look very promising... it's my experience that arcade games using real life settings don't work well. Similarly simulations with heavy arcade influences and a lot of playability compromises don't work either. Both from a simracer and a more casual gamer's point of view. I'm sure it'll sell. I'm also sure it will be soon forgotten, regardless of which type of player buys it. Jan. =---

I enjoy arcade style racers like Daytona USA when I'm not playing more serious sims, but I've got no interest in the games that fall in between the two categories. e.g. Moto GP GP4 Total Immersion Racing etc.etc...
