It's a rally racing game from Codemasters.

I was impressed with TOCA Race Driver 3 from the same developer (despite being stuck on about level 18 atm) so this may be worth a try.

The Game is released on 15th June and the demo is available Here. It's 833Mb.

I'm out of bed and dressed, what more do you want?

I always take life with a grain of salt, ... a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out

One more step to enlightenment ... but which way ?

I use a Logitech Cordless Gamepad whch imo performs better than the X-Box 360 jobbie.

I'd really like a steering wheel, was going to buy the Logi MoMo but they've discontinued it

And it seems to me the only other steering wheel worth buying is the Logi that costs around £150.00

So, for now, I'll stick with me gamepad.

been playing this for the last 10 mins or so, graphics are amazing especially slow mo replays , controls are proving difficult to get set how i like them but it looks like a decent game so far

That the one in the pic in the 'room' thread? Does it have the triggers like the xbox pad does? Thats the reason i like the xbox pads you get very precise control over the accelerator and brake in games like PGR and TOCA. I dont mind the pressure sensitive buttons on the PS2 pads, (Gran Turismo etc) but you cant get half as much control with the buttons they just dont move enough imo.

I take it the pc xbox pads do have the triggers? and they aren't just 'on and off'

I too would like a wheel but desk space is limited....

Codemasters used to have tons of racers for the PS1 & 2 when I used to play on consoles.

Most of them were really good.

I don't have a gamepad

I would prefer a pad myself.

What controls are you using ME? Default?
