howiedo1n Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 This is a burning question that keeps me up at night... I just thought it would be fun to see what everyone thought since these games topics seem to be the hotter ones in the Xbox forum. Thanks for sharing your opinions Howie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Monkey Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I deleted the other attempt and voted for RSC2 here. 1) It's the flavor of the month and 2) I like arcadey racers that give a passing nod to sim. I also like the variety of tracks and race types (like cross-over and hill climb). -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howiedo1n Posted May 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 A poll with only one choice is not much of a poll and just no fun at all. Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris F Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Well, I've been playing RSC2 a lot (not as much as Ed wants me too though ). Mostly because I find it easier than CMR04. I do like both though, but I went with the one I got into easier. I haven't bought TOCA yet, probably not for another week or so, just because I like the idea of car ending damage.

rustyjaw Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I voted for CMR4, it's definitely the one I've spent the most time playing, although that's kind of cheating since it's been out longer than the others. And as far as the driving experience itself, it's the one I prefer, I love the way it handles, the subtleties in getting the car to behave make it deeper and more satisfying, IMO. Both TOCA and RSC2 have more variety though, TOCA has so many kinds of racing events it's hard not to find something to enjoy, and it also has more 'simmy' handling than RSC2, but less than CMR4. RSC2 has lots of variety, but it's all rally oriented (unlike TOCA that has Rally, Forumla, Stock car, Supercar, etc). RSC2 has a solid arcade handling style, with enough depth to keep it interesting, and enough slipperiness to keep you on your toes. In short, CMR4's driving style suits me perfectly, but is does not have as much variety as the other two games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I'm quite taken with TOCA right now. The racing can be really good when the competition is good enough (you have to really keep on a guy, pass at the right time, wait for mistakes), the variety of cars is stunning (although you'll probably find a few you don't like which means playing those races is a bit of a chore), the track selection is amazing with actual race tracks, street races similar to PGR. actual temporary street courses, ovals, and bathurst (which I can't put into any of those categories). Graphics, sound, handling, AI, carreer mode, and online features are also quite nice and round out the package very well indeed. My only complaint would be that I'd like some longer races sometimes in the career mode, and the network code is a little wonky. Getting hit from another car in multiplayer is usually quite devastating as you usually go off the track, it's a very hard thing to avoid in the first place as too many people brake way too late, and if you factor in network code that doesn't handle lag all that well... it make for a frustrating experience sometimes. I've seen a guy fly through the air, and nobody touched him on their respective screens. I've also had guys complaining to me about getting hit when on my screen I wasn't even close enough to hit him. Other racing games suffer from that too, but it doesn't seem as bad.

AnthonyVolpe Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Aaaaaagh I like all three Codemasters gets the nod for damage and realism, but RS2 got my vote because of the overall presentation... every time i play it I see something else that I like that much better.
