Thought I'd ask you all what your thoughts are on RACE Pro.
Heres mine:
Installed the game to the HDD and was 5.0GB, 1 less than I expected, booted it up and the menu's are simple and easy to use.
Then it was onto racing so I chose Brands Hatch with the MINI (German one). On first sights the graphics are very last gen imo and reminded me of some PS2 titles, I think the GT3/4 may even look better than this. Looks aside, I started on Novice and done the qualifying with a rolling start and qualified 1st. Done the race and won with a full section in front of the chasing car, so time to try semi pro.
Semi Pro, again finished 1st in qualifying, then to the race, come off a few times so found myself in the middle of the pack and instantly memories of the early ToCa's come back as I battled through the grid to regain my position, this is when I started to enjoy it. I had a good battle all the way round the three laps with the top 4 cars but I seemed to regain 1st quite easily and if I knew the track well and hadn't come off, it would, again, have been an easy finish.
So after two races I am enjoying it, can see me going onto pro level soon when I get used to all the tracks and move away from the on track racing line being turned on. Shame there is only Brands Hatch and no Donny' or Silverstone but DLC may fill that gap. Just a shame they didn't polish the graphics and get nearer to the level we know set by the likes of PGR and FM2. But I'm enjoying it, still yet to find out how XBL holds up with 12 in a room and how the whole Online feature works. But so far so good.
