Hi
I didn't read through the 10 pages here, but I just wanted to say that I've played Enthusia about 40 minutes on the Leipzig Games Convention in summer '04...
Graphics : Well, I stood about 1 m in front of a midclass tv, so all I can say that it never the less looked good, but you alle know the videos so let's go to
Gameplay:
I really liked the gameplay: it reminded me most of Gran Turismo, I'd say.... I think the way the cars handle etc can be compared to GT, although steering is a little more difficult, so you have to drive carefully, we have to see if they changed something since last summer or if tuning is availible to improve steering.... so I would say that Enthusia is a bit slower, but it's fun never the less... I've raced on 6 tracks or so (desert-cool, but a bit too slow perhaps; oval : well, oval...nothing special to say about; part of Nueburgring : darker but seemed to be like in GT 4, so better than Project Go. R.; a night course with wet track, really cool grafics and changed gameplay(wet track), a rally course, well hard to steer and to drift as I can remember, perhaps not enough oversteer to be really realistic, as far as I can remember....; and amy favorite course was the track with the old european looking
town
Conclusion :
I will definitly import the game from Japan, and it will be a great game, even if they didn't change a bit since last summer, that's for sure, believe me
By the way I also played FORZA on that show, also not a bad game, but I liked enthusia more...
Well,I don't know if you want to trust me, but I'd say that I really know what I'm talikng about, as I'm a true racing game fan ( GT 1,2,3,4P,4 all jp Version played through, gt4 not yet but on my way^^...., Battle Gear 2, Battle Gear 3, Kaido Battle, Kaido Battle 2 : Chain reaktion, Shutokuo Battle 1,2,0,01 Wangan Midnight, Intial D, touge 3, Max, driving emotion, dtm race driver, GT cube... all rally games well I stop here...let's say most racing games existing on any systems since the mid 90's..... so belive me, enthusia will be a great game, no GT, but a perfect game to spend on 30 hours or so....
