CANNON98 · 05-30-2007, 08:13 AM

ill be gettin this today after 4pm.... anyone wanna race me my XBOX live screen name is cannon98

JMAC303 · 05-30-2007, 03:13 PM

I've been calling Best Buy every hour for the last 3 hours to find out if their shipment is in yet. I really can't wait to have this game in my hands. I love sim racing.

Did anyone else preorder the game? I bought a preorder at Best Buy, and apparently they give you a code or something to go on Xbox Live and download the 350Z from the cover of the game. Apparently it's an "exclusive" car.

**Gonzo** · 05-30-2007, 04:19 PM

I just got back to my hotel room with my copy. I'ma start playing it in a moment.

Punting_midgets · 05-30-2007, 04:34 PM

I hope this game lives up to its previous version.

Waiting on a review ...................

**dentrecords** · 05-30-2007, 05:58 PM

I just got my collector's edition copy.. I'm not going to have that much of a chance to play it due to the Ottawa Senators game tonight.. and then I'm working outside all day tomorrow.. dammit.

***nyblksi*** · 05-30-2007, 06:16 PM

Just got my copy along with the racing wheel! =D

**Gonzo** · 05-30-2007, 06:17 PM

$&% damnit. You mean to tell me there was a Special Edition, and buying it is the only way to get one of my favorite cars, the Challenge Stradale?

I'd ask you to gift it to me dent, but that isn't allowed apparently.

F*#& you Microsoft and Turn 10.

And thanks a bunch for raising the price of Halo 3 Ultimate Edition to $130. Now I can choose between eating and buying it. Just kidding. I'll buy a huge slab of ribs instead. BBQ FTW.

**Gonzo** · 05-30-2007, 07:35 PM

So far I am enjoying the game. I am trying to figure out how to paint wheels right now. I don't think you can paint stockers...

Oh BTW. I gotta say, the music in this game has got to be worse than the last one, and that is saying a lot. (Though the last games menu music was kinda nice IMO)

At least my mac will share music with my 360, but I at a hotel and my 360 won't connect to their network.

**Gonzo** · 05-30-2007, 08:19 PM

I don't think I can explain (but I don't think I have to) how utterly frustrating it is to see cars like the GTi, Celica, Ion Red Line, Mazda3, Cobalt SS, Focus SVT/ST, SRT4, Eclipse, Stock Beetle, even a stock tC for crying out loud.

But no 06+ Si.

I guess we and the Mazdaspeed 3 people have something in common.

Oh and they gave the Eclipse a 3.9 for handling. Almost every review I have read for that car wouldn't support that.

bLaCkAnGeL07 · 05-31-2007, 12:20 PM

Agreed. The Eclipse is a log. Just drive it, 3.9 isn't a very hiugh rating once you feel how much it sucks and how heavy it is. I need to get a racing wheel...

Paddle shifters ftw!

foolio_67 · 05-31-2007, 02:48 PM

Too bad I don't own a 360, this game looks great

**Gonzo** · 05-31-2007, 04:12 PM

BTW here is a tip.

If hitting buttons to shift drives you mad (like me) go into your controller options and set your right thumbstick to shift.

Up to upshift, down to downshift. It's kinda like a Tiptronic. Forza 1 also had this option.

jimmychoi · 05-31-2007, 09:54 PM

This and halo three are why Im considering buying an xbox 360

**dentrecords** · 06-01-2007, 08:20 AM

Or fable 2......that and Halo 3 will be amazing

***nbilyue*** · 06-01-2007, 10:31 AM

it also makes it a lot harder now that rewards cars are only worth 100c

aznives3 · 06-01-2007, 11:26 AM

just picked up the collectors edition yesterday...nice stuff, this game is too awesome with the 360 wheel, glad i got that for $99 cad during best buys sale, definately worth the pickup!

***Excalibur*** · 06-01-2007, 02:46 PM

I can't believe they're not gonna have our car on it. I hope the new gran turismo will have it.

JMAC303 · 06-01-2007, 06:35 PM

I'm really hoping for downloadable content for an 06-07 Si...I'm very doubtful though. That would require a new set of physics for the car, new engine sounds, not to mention the actual car models before and after body damage...just seems like too much for DLC.

Oh, and for the record, there is a Mazdaspeed 3 in there, it's called something different though, I can't quite remember what.

I'm LOVIN this game with my steering wheel. Started out with the same '94 Vti/Si I pushed in real life for 8 years! I love that little hatchback.

**Gonzo** · 06-01-2007, 07:42 PM

What type of downloadable content do you expect them to release? Of course they are going to release new cars. I would be very surprised (and angry) if the FG2 isn't one of them. They have tons of other Si's and Integras. I can't imagine it would be hard for them to get the rights.

I am pretty sure the Mazdaspeed3 is not in the game. I only saw the standard 3. If they have it that would be great.
