Been playing this for a few days and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. Compared to the other capital letter racing games (SHiFT, GRiD, etc) it feels pretty good. As everyone has said, there's not enough focus on proper point-to-point rallying, but most of the events are alright. And the RWD rally cars don't feel twitchy enough, but that's a minor issue.
And for anyone interested, here's what I got as my prize:
Don't think binding would help now - they've been this size for a long time. Maybe lopping off a couple of toes would do the trick.
But the game itself is definitely worth a trick, unless you want nothing but point-to-point. Not been online with it yet, but anyone who has a 360 copy should look me up.
I'm hoping that there'll be more actual rally tracks released as DLC.
I would trade the shoes for a G25 or the Fanatec wheel though. Might even be tempted with a plain old DFP, because I really want to get back into playing LFS properly.
This thread has gone so far off-topic now. Dirt 2 is good. The cars feel weighty and behave more or less as you'd expect. The RWD ones probably not as twitchy as you'd think, but it's all good fun. Loving the open wheeler.
Cockpit view is a nightmare when you go through deep water. Love it
I played this game on the weekend. I did the Trailblazer world tour (spoiler ahead) to win the Dallenbach Single Seater hill climb thingy and a few online races.
The funny part was that I was doing a race in the 'Mali Alan pass' Croatian Rally track, and before the 1/4 mark, there is a tight corner that has a steep fall. I fell into it. TWICE. The 3rd time I went on that track, I had to go really slowly, which cost me alot of time. I hate that track now!
Done that a couple of times myself. You rewind (and I still hate myself for using that feature) only to repeat the exact same move again. Awesome
My least favourite track is the Spillway one (I forget which country now). Too much barrier, not enough natural obstacles. I can't do that one fast at all.
The problem was when that happened it was online, so I ended up loosing a few races. (since there is not flashback there. Imagine if there was :schwitz
I love that feature. The only reason I don't like it is because I expected in to be in SHIFT sometimes. I press the button for flashback then nothing happens.
I love that one and the Utah one the trailblazer course. I have one things thats bothereing me for a long time i cant seem to find that sound track that says WHOO ooo i got your money!!! whats it called?
Lost weekend by The Qemists and Mike Patton. That song is also in NFS, but I barely hear it shift that game since the rest of the soundtrack sucks hard.
Now I need to find that song that goes Duh duh duh duh DUUUUUUUUUUH, duh duh duh duh DUUUUUHH DUUUUUH!! Not the best way to describe it, but if you heard it, you'll sorta know.
