Wow this is one I didn't play for a long time . Wel when it came out I liked it very much. The rain is what impressed me at most in this time. The wet surface of track just looks great. (I know of no other game that matched that so far). In short terms: Physics are nice but there's only one car behaviour model for all cars. Only difference are the horsepower. And then again, the engines behave all the same, only hp and rpm's are the difference. But due to the rainy condition graphics and physics, it's worth a try. Man I even think I'm gonna install it right back on my disk now
I'm running about the house like a mad eejit trying to find my copy of it, can't bloody find it! I always played this game when I was younger, using the keyboard. Would love to play it now with a wheel! Yes, I remember the rain on the tracks was great!
Actually horsepower, tyre grip and driver skill seperate all the cars. The AI in the game is simply awesome. And wet weather is the best i've seen so far in any game. The physics were a little too much "on rails" but it was good fun to play.
Too bad that game has a horrible time with XP. I patched it up and tried so many times on 2 different PCs. Not sure if it doesn't like the service pack. I have no clue. I like the weather effects in that game. i wish there was a quick fix. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
