I tried to pre-order this title but it stillw asnt on the lists at GameStop last time I checked.

Is the US even going to get this title?

Good question. But since this is a region-free PS3 game...?

*Found it

Apparently it's a good solid grade C game.

You mean I should go try pickup a copy this afternoon?

And here I thought I would spend a few hours working on the real car this weekend :P You bastard hehehe ;)

Hehehe. I don't know when grade C was ever worth immediate release purchase. But whatever, knock yourself out! :mrgreen:

Cant be worse than Grid - so may be worth a look. :)

*edit* - Just had a quick peak at teh game. It seems like Forza2 for teh PS3 without damage or tyre wear.

If these guys did not license the Forza2 engine, then I expect lawsuits because the look, feel and overall impression if of Forza2.

did you get the game?

i just saw some damage in the video.. :S ??

Yes I picked it up - I totally forgot I pre-orderd it. The store ran out of the "free download" certificates so I didnt get my F575.

The damage is cosmetic only.

The game is ok - looks like Forza2 with F-Cars only. In typical "rush to market" fashion, the game is not finished.

Replays have no save featur, so far I have found no way to name my "Player" - so the driver standings are "PLAYER" while the other teams all have names.

All in all a must have for Ferrari fans, bu only so-so.

I just played with controller, and did nto bother to haul out the seat and wheel - so who knows, it may get to be more fum yet.

The AI is pretty good, but they are driving cement trucks - they hold their station even if you try push them - but overall they are pretty savvy at not running you down.

I want to get the game only for the ability to drive the older cars. But I am kinda bummed reading the reviews here and on fchat. Looks like a lot of people are not too jazzed about the game. :( Fuckers took so long to release it - I was expecting something great.

It is also the only title that has ever locked up the PS3.. for hat thats worth... maybe it is just a license of the Forza2 engine after all ;) hehe

Well I broke down and got myself a PS2 & the Ferrari game. The PS3 was a breeze to set up. :)

I struggled to play with the wireless controller and am now trying to get my Logitech G25 wheel set up for the game. The wheel is fine. Its just that I am struggling to position the pedal box to prevent it from moving on the carpet.

?
You got the PS2 and the PS2 version of the Ferrari game

or

You got the PS3 and the PS3 version of the Ferrari game

Sorry for the typo - meant PS3 game + system.

You know what. I was going to buy this game. BUT i am now boycotting ferrari.. so fuck that shit.

Still the best car I've ever driven... i'm not likely to buy this one...

It'd be pointless to get the PS2 version of the game, so I'll give it a pass.

I bought it and was deeply unimpressed initially, as the cars felt unresponsive, woolly, and the physics just seemed rather unrealistic compared to various other racers I've used over the years.

Once I got a bit farther in and began reducing the number of aids I was using, the cars started to feel a lot better, began responding in more predictable ways and it became far, far easier to understand what was going on from behind the wheel. That being said, I'm still not completely sold on how well the competition works. I have to say the AI is far better than GT5 and it makes passing without contact quite interesting...you have to be very clean and find openings or create them very quickly and precisely. In any case, I'm starting to really like the game...though the graphics aren't as good as GT5, and the car-modelling isn't as impressive either, it's still pretty damned good.

Anywhoo...back to work...then back to play :-D
