Whats this game actually like then?

I cant bring myself to buy it because I compare everything to GT3 and nothing thus far has come close.

What version are you guys on - im assuming PC?

Its no GT3, but its a great game in different ways.

More of an arcade racer than simulation, but all the mods you can do and win make it interesting, and the drag and drift races are superb!

graphics top notch, specially with motion blur and light trails turned on, everything goes into warp vision when you hit nitro!

Quotei gora get me a internet thing for the PS2

Yeah, me too. It\'s an OK game single player, but I can\'t see it lasting me too much longer without multiplayer...

I started the game with the MX5 (\'cos it was the only rear wheel drive car), and kept it until I got the RX-7. Statistically though, the MX5 is better, when tuned up, than the rex, and runs a close second to the skyline (statistically the best car in the game). I still use the rex of course, makes it more of a challenge. :)

Only thing I don\'t like about the game is the way you have to kev-up your car to progress with the game at certain points. Some races you need a certain amout of \'reputation\' (read: bodykit) to enter. Unfortunately, the kit that gives you the most reputation is usually the most hideous as well :)

Still a blast to play, though. :D

i got it off bit torrent for the PC, on race 99 out of 101, its bloody hard, and i hate the slow car catchup thing, really annoys me how i can be slaughtering them, and you can be going flat out and they still overtake you :reallymad

the rx7 is the best drift car ;)

And it is a monster on there, the only thing better is the skyline but i never use it :p :D

Post by: ScuttleRX on December 07, 2003, 05:22:44 PM

you can mod the rx7 in normal mode, but not in underground, i dont have it to use for underground but it\'s there for me to race online.

I cant believe it. This is my first post on here and its about xbox\'s and not rx7\'s. I\'m a student and I\'m struggling to get my Gen2 EGI through its MOT for the new year. Well anyway, if ur into your gaming u should get a modded xbox. This is the only thing I can afford to mod while I\'m at uni.

Check out //www.baldbouncer.com for pre-modded xbox\'s or if you\'ve already got one got to //www.xbox-scene.com and learn. I\'m not joking this is the best investment you can make. I haven\'t had to buy one game for my xbox and I dont even have to get off my arse to change game as there all on the hard disk.

Hopefully one day I\'ll have a proper job and then I\'ll be able to afford to buy and run an FD. Or maybe the government will ban them by then for being far too much fun......hope not.

My skyline has had a 22.8 sec/234 mph drag before.  This was with a tow then a hearty injection of NOS.

ive found out the best way to get a quick time is to nos it early 3rd, 4th, and part of 5th. all the way lol

Post by: Matt on December 30, 2003, 10:11:48 AM
The best way to get speed on the drag strip is to get right up someones ass and slipstream them, this gives you extra boost and when they use there nos you will keep right up with them, then near then end use your nos, ive had 244 mph.

Guys, you need to give Project Gotham 2 on the X-box a shot too. If you\'re familiar with Edinburgh, youll see why!

The track detailing is quality! Nothing like drifting an RX-7 down Lothian road onto Princes street :D
