The car physics was good back in the day. Now it's like driving floaty jellos with marshmallow suspension. I'd be hard pressed to call it a simcade even.
Spent a lot of hours playing this game. If u haven't played it, u should pick it up. Pro tip; accelerate out of the corners fast. I posted this 7 yrs ago. LOL
It wasn't even good back in the day. It never pretended to be a simulation, it was the "modern" equivalent of GT1 or GT2.
Yeah Codies has always been a simcade developer (except Dirt Rally), but I always remembered it to have reasonably drivable physics. Early this year I decided to pop the disc for old times sake, and it's nearly undrivable. Obviously my expectations have changed, having driven GAS, GT5-6, AC and other sims since 2008. Shows you how strong rose tinted glasses can be.
Let me think, I could take advantage of free time because of holiday to play my favorite SIM or download an old game that was never that good even back then because it is free, which is fairly representative of what it is worth anyway, though call!
Really? I only picked it up a couple of years ago (or like, two dollars or something silly) and while it took a little bit of getting used to it was perfectly driveable. Although if I remember it was a lot easier with a pad than a wheel, something about the wheel just never really worked right. No real loss though.
