Speaking of other racing games. This years NASCAR: Inside Line looks like a pretty big improvement (And has a few non-ovals this year like The Glen and Infineon) and Euthechnyx say they are going to try keep the 360 version region free or even get it released on Games On Demand. Anyone have any experience on the first one? |
pros: the graphics are pretty nice, the actual racing physics are pretty nice, the feeling of speed is good, it has 16-player online play, the single-player is pretty well-done, lots of customization options w/r/t both aesthetics and performance (though not quite as deep as say, dirt to daytona for gamecube or papyrus' nascar racing).
cons: the wreck physics are ridiculous (although sometimes humorous), matches with randoms are mostly unplayable, the caution system online is horribly broken (get ready to race 0.6 laps of a 16 lap race! the rest will be spent in caution (because someone started going backward (classic!) on talledega) staring at the big yellow loading screen and watching your car slow down to a crawl in the brief non-loading screen while the dumbass who wrecked the field and his victims (possibly you included) go to the pit and everyone else just... waits. holy shit. what the fuck), the spotter is both terrible and repetitive ("still there")
i have a tiny glint of hope for inside line

forgot to mention the custom car appearances are also bugged/broken online, being that the game will become excessively laggy for everyone if you come into the game with a custom paintjob and/or decals. also, i believe parts of the decal creation system are bugged as well. this game is pretty buggy. i've seen cars driving through the stands, falling through the ground, spinning endlessly in the air, though all of these things happened online. the game also tends to freeze on me, though that might be my disc.
one last thing: iirc, the game does not give you any way to gauge tire temperature, which... sucks

HEY! GRID 2 has split-screen for PC!
PC Games always shaft you on the split-screen. This one brings the love.
Beyond that, RobotRocker is right on the money.
