I am currently in tokyo and have a little time to fill while looking for work. I will be getting myself either a 360 or PS3 but I cant really decide. I know all about just how stunning GTP is, but I need something new. It has come down to race pro or FC.

Now I need to know what the online environment is like for both. Is it easy to find games on each? Does every player have a mic on both? Both stable and playable online? Also when online are custom setups allowed? I MUCH prefer no setups online so this is a factor also (unless I can just download setups from the leaderboards :P ).

Bascially I just want to be able to sit back race and chat with a good community. Which game will be best for this? Price of each console is not really a factor as they are both the same price spec for spec.
 
I have same dilemma and I'll go to Ferrari Challenge.

Race Pro has too much problems like crap graphics (though better than PC Race 07), huge problems with online, problems with feedback support (and there are only two X360 racing wheels), frame rate problems and so on so on. By console standarts it's more like beta version

Physics is nothing special compare to Forza 2. If you have broadband for patches, worth its 40 bucks probably.

Forza 2 is must have if you are getting X360, not Race Pro

So I bought Race Pro. Not bad game but feels too much arcade after Forza 2 and GT5 Prologue. Cars are very easy to control, feels weightless

Graphics is outdated, AI is not too fast, damage is almost nonexistent. So I would recommend it only if you got tired of Forza/GTP.
 
If you are going from GT5:P to Race: Pro, you will be really shocked at how bad the graphics on race pro are. With the game on a realistic setup, race pro is probably more realistic, but i agree with otago, Forza 2 is a must.
 
:lol: No he isn't that bad, infact he's not bad at all! but yes, I sucked when I first joined :D

and coincidently some people are calling me flex again :sick: Although the original name was from the Futurama character. 👍

Back on topic then ;)

Don't understand this:

surely the big decision is 360 or PS3?

PS3 is more expensive, offers blu-ray, more reliable (although mine has just lost its laser disc reader function :( , etc.

I haven't played RacePro, but I've played FC a lot: see this thread for "a bit of" discussion... :)
