I love NFS Shift but I hate that you get rewarded for crashing into people.

I found that slighty annoying too.
That makes it too easy to level up.
The game on a whole is a bit too easy and in my opinion it doesn’t have great replay value. You beat the game once and thats it.

The tracks look very well though I must say.

can you change the direction of the steering wheel?
so that the car goes left when you turn left, and not right.
(if you understand that?)

I’m an avid racing gamer on console only.

I love NFS Shift but I hate that you get rewarded for crashing into people. The graphics are great and it has better tracks than Forza3.

Forza 3 seems the more popular of these two games, especially if you play online. It has excellent graphics and the addition of Suzuka that SPEED doesn’t. But then Forza doesnt have SPA so it’s, for me, a give and take.

Forza3 has taken tuning and liveries to a level not seen before in other games.

For us F1 fans the biggest downfall of both games is no F1 cars in either game.

Living in the states it’s hard to get a decent F1 game for console so I was terrebly excited at last years news that Codemasters was doing a 2009 version. Gutted that I have to wait until mid October 2010 to play it on my xbox, as I dont have a wii. And the more I read about the the 2009 the more I think I will be dissapointed, although I will buy the game on release day as there arn’t any other options.

I guess singing the praises of GPL (Grand Prix Legends) will only mark me out as an ageing has-been. Still play it and get a kick from it , though.

Games based on the Formula One racing circuit tend to appeal mainly to hardcore racing fans. If you fall into that category, Codemasters have got you covered with the release of F1 2009 on PSP. Fans around the world will get the chance to take to the virtual grid and emulate their favorite drivers as F1 2009 races into stores across North America today. Europeans have to wait a couple more days before the title arrives in shops. The PSP edition of F1 2009 will also be available.

Just took delivery of F1 2009 on the Wii. Great game. OK not the best graphics but it is a Wii. You CAN tweek all the settings, wing angles, toe in, wheel cambers, gear ratios etc. My only real gripe is that all the cars seam to have KERS.

Fair enough At the end of the day I like most decent racing sims. Some more than others. All those we’ve both mentioned fall into this category. So may it continue!

also on iracing tracks…the the whole lazer scan thing isn’t sole property of iracing, there were laser scanned tracks in rfactor 1st…and this will be the basic standard from now on.
Iracing is good but it’s mainly hype, which is re-enforced by marketing and the fact you have a high cost. $ doesnt always mean better.
I mean nike shoes cost about$1 to make but sell for hundreds of $

I dont belive iracing has the best physics, that title goes to nkpro.
Best immersion goes to any simbin product.
Best allround features in a sim would be GP4 or RBR, most content goes to rfactor.
