I got mine over the weekend. Just got back into town, and loaded it up yesterday. Seems like a nice evolution from the last one, but it's been hyped up so much, I think I kinda expected more. I wish that they had just given us the full GT5 already, instead of this mini version.

That being said, the physics model on this one is better than ever before. The cars are definitely tougher to drive. Gotta finish the game so I can play the intermediate and expert level online races. The beginner's level online races aren't that fun, too many people who will bump you off the track to have good racing going on.

I seem to be stuck on one event in B. It's the RSX event and somehow I always start at the 16th position and have to finish in the top 3 places within 1 lap. The fartest I got was to 6th place.

Anyone complete Event B yet?

I just completed the B events and am on the A events. The RSX one gave me some trouble too. I think the best place I got was 2nd or 3rd. The timed events where you have to beat the target time are tough for me too. I only manage bronze on most of those ones. I can't figure out how to find another 2-3 seconds!

I picked up some time by turning the physics to standard and the traction control to 1. I also got the new wheel at the same time so that may have helped.

Cool


That's a start. I remember using a coffee table and some books to keep the pedals from sliding.

I've got a proper setup now. That picture is hilarious. Do you really play the game that way?

Anyways, this game is a lot of fun. I love using the Amuse S2000 online.
