Default Do someone here plays the Ferrari F355 Chalenge arcade game?

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 ) . 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.
