Well Iv'e only driven for about an hour and I never drove toca1 and have
been driving GPL for months now so I may be a bit ..uhhh.. biased. It is
fun! Quite a change of pace for me. Sound is ok but it's hard to hear
your car in a pack. Graphics are ok too, some oddities appeared but are
most likely demo related, the overall effect is pretty cool. The physics
are decidely arcade like compared to gpl, the car leans in the turns in
an odd way and the handling is more like NFS. It took me a while to get
the steering configured reasonably well (still not right), you must
quite the racethen sort through a lot of menu's to get to the
cali/config screen, then go back through all that and reload the race,
obviously not a concern once it's right. I'll definitely drive some more
and consider it but with SCGT and TramsAm coming out it will be tough to
decide. Very good for touring car buffs.
Maybe I should get the TPTCC patch for N2 since I haven't driven that
for months.
