Do someone here plays the Ferrari F355 Chalenge arcade game?

[veilsidebr]

Yeah, i would like to find someone who plays this game too..

This game, on arcade mode, has 3 monitors, manual and semi-automatic gears, clutch, brake and gas pedals. Very nice.

I´m from Brazil, here there are some malls that have it. I always play on the manual mode, in Suzuka or Monza. I have got a first place about 15 times, 12 in Suzuka and 3 in Monza.

Here are some pics while i´m geting a first place on Monza and Suzuka, enjoy them :D

i have played it in Vegas it was fun but i think i remember that the speakers next to my ears were irritating

I've played it a few times and have it for my PS2. Fun game, the arcade version is much better with the clutch and all but it's like $3 to play it.

[veilsidebr]

Yeah it´s a very cool game... i generally get second and first places in the arcade version, always in manual mode. I want to record it and make a movie to put in JW. It would be cool eehehe

:D

I love 355 Challenge, but I have a few qualms with it. The shifter is incredibly vague so there are always a lot of annoying missed shifts; and since you can't actually feel the car, launches are always a bitch. Oh yeah, its also expensive as fuck.

[antonioledesma]

it's a nice game, but i have only seen it in 2 or 3 places, and u have to pay $ 2.50-3 usdollars to play it. It's a little expensive and i like more to play easier games that allow me to stay more and don't spend too much money

[mrzonda]

Ya, its fun to play, but there is no feel. It's so hard to figure out what's happening. And ya, its expensive to play, and the game ends to quick if ur not a pro.

[veilsidebr]

Here in Brazil it´s cheap, about 90 cents of a dollar converted to dollar.

very cool...

i´ll take some pics while playing and getting first place, then i´ll post here
:D

[veilsidebr]

in manual mode and in suzuka off course..

:D :D

[cho_888]

yeah good game it will sot you an arm and a leg. Love the idea of the clutch needs a bit of a graphics update.

[Balls]

I've played this game as well. I like it alot but basically have to agree with most of the posts thus far. No Feel, Very Expensive. The physics seems good and I really like the functionality of the clutch.

[WhiteP]

I love this game, my best rank is only no.3 in Suzuka.. I agree the shifter is really vague, but overall, it is still very realisitc....

Veilsidebr, can you share some of your techiques? Did you even heel toe in the game?

[SamuraiGti]

I only played this game once in arcade, never seen again that arcade =|

It was a little expensive to play, about 1,5€.

F355 challenge is my favourite arcade game joint with Tekken, Metal Slug, Cadillacs&Dinosaurs (anyone here played it ??) and Virtua Cop(I always threw in two coins to play with two guns :twisted: ) . It's a great driving experince with the clutch and the manual 4 speed transmission. I can't remeber how well I did coz I played it a long time ago.

[BACR]

ye i play it loads at an arcade near me i spend a fortune on, could do with more bass tho

[corvette97]

yeah once in italy going to rome, i play it 3 times, great game,

[veilsidebr]

Well..some techniques to win in the game, at least in suzuka, are:

Use always Heel and Toe, and double clutching. To race in manual mode, when the man say "3...2...1...GO!" keep your rev near 4000 and when the man say go, leave the rev untill he down about 1000 and start wide open throtle. I can do about 4.3 seconds of a 0-60 mph test. Pretty cool

It´s not sooo easy to win on the manual mode and on Suzuka(for me) but i can get always some second places. Always drive on manual mode, listen to me, this will improve your driving techniques, i say, when driving in a real car.

I´ve trained a lot heel and toe in this game, and, when i made the getaway movie(see the post "my own getaway movie, and i´m just 16 years old...") i could drive faster than when i didn´t know it. This helps your driving alot.

So, traing a lot and have fun. I´ll record a first place in a video camera and put into PC to you guys see it. Pretty nice, but you don´t get another credit when you win.

:D

[veilsidebr]

Cool today we recorded on a camera i wining on Ferrari Chalenge on Suzuka and on manual mode. Cool, i took some pics too, when everything be ready i´ll post here.

[itsthepham]

Yeah I played it before at a place called Powerhouse. Only played it a few times until it ate all my money. lol

[DTM8]

Yep, that game is great. I also played it at Vegas, but I just found out that theres one around here. The first time I played it, I accidently put it on automatic, errr.. but when I played it again, I did pretty good

[veilsidebr]

I´ll post some pictures of when i am geting first place here today...just waiting my dad take the pictures from the store...

:D
