Rented it out.

Well, the initial reaction is quite shocked, but then after a while i started to get into it. Once you've done most of the series, which i might add is quite easy, it gets very boring. There is no money, and you win tune ups as you go on. The only thing i enjoyed really was customizing your garage, which was fun with all the posters and such, but i couldn't fit half of the things in. There are only 11 tracks, with 5 of those reverse. Apparently some of the courses are from initial d. Too easy for me, graphics still don't satisfy me, gameplay can be better.

7/10
 
Nice "mini review." I was also thinking about renting this out, but now I don't have to.

So its nothing spectacular, right?

OA
 
Not really. After a while it gets REALLY boring. In about one day.
 
When is this game going to be available in the US? Excuse me if it already is.
And wont this game have full online capabilities here in the US as well?
 
No online for us PAL users :mad: US is coming out soon, i dunno when, but it will get full online capabilities.
 
I guess just about any game wouldn't be lacking without some online gaming option. But we don't even have the kit stuff yet, so i guess online wouldn't matter for six months.
 
just bought it. so far its fun, physics take some getting used to. more tracks would be nice and those stripes on cars look horrible, cept on the viper.

after a few days i guess i can post again and tell you guys if it TRULY got boring for me.
 
I just got this yesterday ( First day it came out ) and im find it fun ricing out cars and the garage. But Next on my list is Midnight Club II and after that the Internet connecter.

Is the Internet time unlimited?
 
yea i got it the first day it came out and was racing online for like 3 hours juss trying to like the game but not that much luck either so im thinking of selling it to any1 who wants it for at least $45 so if any1 wants it juss give a holla
playing online was sort of fun but it juss got boring cuz every1 else had vipers and really faster cars than me so i got a fast car to race online and i won a couple times but it juss got boring so if any1 wants it $45? brand new jus got it or i might juss go to a nearby gamestop and return it. playing online isnt that great also its not a greater game than gt3 so im sticking to gt3 for drifting oh yea and u can drift pretty easy in this game too. so its back to gt3.
 
Do you have Vipers in the American version? Damn, we didn't get them over here...
 
I had though of buying it but I guess not. I have the network adaptor and the idea of racing with it sounded fun but I just lost interest in it. Will just wait for a different one...

juss wait till GT4 comes out! dunno when exactly but in gamespot they said around late 2003 or early 2004 dunno.
 
Yeah I've been waiting and avoiding all the damn lies and romours about it. Dont believe any of what you hear about GT4 unless you can clearly see its from Sony, PD, or a very good gaming mag. Pretty much with any great game that is expected stuff like that happens so dont really believe anything unless it is from the developer, the console company, or a trusted gaming mag...
 
I just bought Auto Modellista. I'm not sure if I want to keep it yet. They won't let you remap the gas and brake to the analog stick! Don't they relize how bad those buttons are? It's almost impossible to drive smoothly.

Plus the announcer gets on my nerves.

I dunno - I bought Final Fantasy Origins along with it and have been playing FFO much more.

haha exactly....I beated that game in a good 5hrs.....the cartoon graphics is awesome but the car handling sucks....they could have done better....
 
I played AM last night at the local Toys-R-Us. They has a 350Z on an oval track. It felt (and looked) like I was racing on ice. It had decent acceration, but the corners were nuthin but Drift. My second lap dropped the lap record by 10 seconds (thank you GT3 :D)

Sounds like it would be an OK game at $19US, but not at $45US.
