Any good? Trying to decide if I should get the 4870 that includes the game, or the one with $10 more on the MIR
 .

I tried the demo just for S&G and I was pretty impressed. It has more of a "arcade" feel then what I normally like in a driving game (i like sims such as rFactor & iRacing) but it was fun. Try the demo for sure.

Its a good thing the game has those Flashbacks, its really easy to screw up. Has a nice variety of race types as well. Oh and lets not forget the reasonably good graphics.

The game is sort of a hybrid between a sim and an arcade game. I thought the game was too hard, especially the first few races, until I switched from a Momo (driving wheel) to a gamepad.
Also, if you get the game and have a soundblaster soundcard, make sure you update the drivers to the new ones that were released July 30. If not, you lose engines sounds (but not crash sounds) after a race and you get stuck on loading screens between races. This issue is noted on several forums and the fix appears to be the new drivers- it worked for me. |
