The worst thing is that it invalidates your lap if somebody is in YOUR slipstream! Towing somebody down a straight is fair enough but being penalised for having somebody in your dirty air is a disgrace.

Aye that is daft. Wouldn't mind if they were right behind the whole way giving ya a backdraft (dunno the right term :pac:), but the way it is is crap.

i forgot about that. the should have just kept hotlapping separate so your online and single player times dont count. then they could have kept the old system.

Anyone got some recommendations for an Xbox 360 wheel for this? Bought it today and will start with the controller, but I can't see myself not buying a wheel!

There doesnt seem to be many that are compatible with the xbox - the official MS one has been discontinued.

Porsche 911 Turbo S Wheel - doesnt seem to be available in the Ireland shop any more. Only PS3/PC ones left

Is this really that good? I've cleared Halo:Reach last night and was gonna trade it in against this, the online play really doesn't appeal to me:(

It depends - there is a kindof addictive nature of wanting to do just one more lap, trying to beat your time. As someone said, once you start hitting apexes and getting the braking right, you want to push it a bit more for the next lap.

On the other hand - you might hate it cus its pretty unforgiving, you need to know the track to put in good times and even with traction on medium the lower cars (only raced a lotus so far) will spin out if you plant the foot exiting a sharp corner. Plus it keeps invalidating my laps and next laps if I run wide which is annoying

Just to note - be careful when you save the Game
You can get a save file corrupted in a few suitations
One of which happened me :mad:

Codies reckons the corrupt game save malfunction only occurs if, after completing an R&D objective, you: retire to the paddock via the Engineer (in the garage); terminally damage your car and select retire to paddock; get disqualified and select retire to paddock.

There is a fix promised - Link below:

It seems Xbox 360 has better graphics than PS3, haven't seen any other comparison yet(but haven't really been looking)

Yeah it happened twice to me and I just presumed it was because I powered down and maybe it had been saving in the background.
The second time I was on 5th race on full length seasons and have not had the urge to play again since as I raced etc for so long to get there.

DARK-KNIGHT

so whjats the general opinion on this game? is it a buyer now or a shelf minder?

Captain Slow IRL

I ended up getting it for the ps3, I've no complaints about the graphics. I haven't had a lot of time to play it yet but it is a very challenging game - it's very easy to spin out on the first corner of a race!

There is a lot of assists that can be tweaked - a racing line, like in forza, and brake assist, which makes any braking by you unnecessary. They're both handy when you start it and break you into it easily.

Get it, it is a decent game - everywhere were sold out of ps3 copies when I went to get it and had to travel a bit to get it:mad:

How avoidable are the things that cause the corrupt save? Any estimated time when the patch will be out?

I'm dying to get the game, but I'm already playing FIFA 11 which is riddled with bugs left, right and center.
