Comments on: Formula 1 Racing fun with SuperCar Challenge! http://threespeech.com/blog/2009/03/formula-1-racing-fun-with-supercar-challenge/ We're not PlayStation but we sometimes get to speak to them Mon, 21 May 2012 10:37:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Mike M http://threespeech.com/blog/2009/03/formula-1-racing-fun-with-supercar-challenge/comment-page-1/#comment-233392 Mike M Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:10:50 +0000 http://threespeech.com/blog/?p=4560#comment-233392 With a properly dialed in FFB wheel (preferably the G25), GRID is the most fun racer as of yet on the PS3 (the 360 version doesn't support wheel). The speed is arcade but I find the handling is on par with GT4. I love FC as well but the car lacks precision and tightness that one would expect from a Ferrari. It still has a decent physics but I find GT5P interpretation of the F430 to be closer to what a supercar should behave. Hopefully in SCC, the physics and the handling will undergo minor modification. NFS:Shift is sounding to me to be the most complete racer.

GT5 has the handling spot on for console driving. the difference being GRiD was fun,

GT5 has the handling spot on for console driving.

The 'Ring is the short, forgetable GP track. Plus, this game is nothing more than Ferrari Challenge 2.0 - most of the cars are the same, most of the tracks are the same, the only real difference - apart from a handful of notable new cars - appears to be improvements to the AI and difficulty settings which they should have got right in the first place or patched in soon after release. Only buy if you haven't already paid for Ferrari Challenge. Hmmm…

McLaren F1? Nürburgring? Spa? Woohoooo!!) yet none of the major retailers seems to know this title exists.... I agree, the only similarity between this and GRID seems to be that you get to drive a car. And unlike GRID et al, I'm sure this will not have dodgy driving physics - in particular the diabolical, so-80s central-pivot steering - so beloved of CodeMasters.

It's a proper realistic racer and the action is MUCH more exciting than GRID. mobiletone - this is about as far from GRID as you can possibly get.
