How would you rate that game in terms of simulating driving physics?

Aracde physics- but closer to sim then Ridge Racer type game. Somewhere between GT and RR. But the controls are nicely tuned and feel very good.

So what are your guys screen names? I play online quite often. My sn: failsaf3

I dont have a screen name. Just bought an X-box for my wife since she wanted to get a dance game that claims to be a good workout. Haven't set up the unit yet, but I did order Motor Trend Lotus Challenge for when the snow prevents me from driving the Z. I was told that's a very realistic racing game.

This past winter I used the Porsche Unleashed game on my PC to get me through the days that weren't suitable for Z driving.

Don't get me wrong, the physics are great. Very polished. I would highly recommend this game since you already have an xbox. It's even better on Live. I play this game more than any other by about 5x.

PGR2 is a great game. It was a big part of the reason I decided to get an Xbox. Not quite GT3, but still kick @ss!

Jason you made go lap around Nurburgring for the last 45 minutes but i finally managed a 8.09.924 more than a full second faster than my previous best lap.

I found a classic trick that helped "launch" me a lil faster thru the turns. The classic Tukumi gutter trick actually works on those high speed under steer corners. You can actually get up on top the alligator strips and retain speed and it grips harder on tight turns. You can also use the strips to catch air into a downhill turn, but be ready to cath it and drift out of the turn.

Unfortunately I never purchased live. I have beem allocating funds to the real car, that and I never have time to play much. I'm heading down to strictly z for most the day, get some stuff done and chill with the guys.

I've never played that game before. How is it? I've got the PS2. Need for Speed Underground is also a great game, more of an arcade style than true simulation. Not to hijack your post, but since we are on the subject of online gaming. Does anyone play Socom II online. If so, PM me. I'll meet up with you online.
