I was playing this earlier:

For the real races, I found the in-car view by far the best. I drove far better that way and won both the races without any real problems, whereas with the out-car view I struggled, especially with the BMW race. Damn good fun once I got that though! made the Mustang race feel like a piece of p*ss!

The drifting took me a while to get used to, out of car view only for this for me. Top score was just under 700'000, biggest combo about 180'000, that was a x6 combo. I suspect with a bit more practise I'd be getting millions too, I DID find that the car didn't want to transfer too well, but letting the throttle off a little made a definite difference at times. But not so much like real life as I'd hoped, where you tend to nail it more and either brake/handbrake (handbrake mid drift doesn't seem to help you extend it in the game!) and more lock.

Good fun though! I did find that several flags wouldn't give me 'bonus' score no matter how close I was.

I'd love to get it on pc, but I've only got a keyboard and it really needs some real moderation on the accelerator, and a keyboard is obviously on/off.



I find it funny how the first 10 comments on the demo were 'its awesome' followed by suddenly everyone saying 'its rubbish'. Its not rubbish, but the feedback and physics are a little lacking. Turn traction control off on the drift and your car is ridiculous, you can't not wheelspin, and you can't hit full throttle in the corners
