    Re: Just got Xbox..What game should I get????

    Blue:

    Will do. I played MC 2 offline for about an hour last night and was less than impressed. Sorry, but I like a driving game that requires the use of the brakes and maybe a bit of a skid when you corner at 125 mph.

    I'm going to give this one more time, though, and give it a go online. But after an hour -- and I know that's not enough time -- I'm not very impressed. And I really liked the original Midnight Club on the PS2, too.

    Take care,

      I didn't like it too much at the start, but if you hate it from the get-go, you won't be more impressed as you go, pk.

      The fun stuff in MC2 is in the quick response of the cars, and a pack of guys in equal cars racing through a city...definitely not in the driving model.

            Terry:

            Yeah, I'm going to give this more time. I just remember the cars in the original Midnight Club being a little less glued to the track than this.

            You're more of a sim purist than me, but so far I consider MC to be way too much of a point-and-floor it experience. Hopefully my brake pads will get a few scratches on them in upcoming races.

            I'm no graphics' whore, but this game isn't very pretty, either. Car models are no better than the original MC on the PS2. A very, very obvious port from the PS2. But the sense of speed and framerate are outstanding.

                  I think that's what I like about the game....pure speed, and you can put the car EXACTLY where you want to. Cutting between 2 oncoming cars, with 6 inches of room on either side, is entirely possible. Offline, dealing with an active city is a lot of fun.

                  If you race online, and compete against guys who have a ton of cars unlocked, it's not much fun...they just run away from you and there's nothing you can do about it.

                  It's a fun game, but it's no MotoGP2 on 100% sim

                        I love the part in MCII when you drive under the 18-wheeler. I got bored of the driving model pretty quick, but I do like all the shortcuts and things to do. The jumps in Paris are wicked!

                              oi oi don't get apex or mc2. Try out Sega GT, Rallisport, PGR, Colin McRae 3, MotoGP2. All very good games.
