Just bought it on PS2 .... I'm looking forward to getting it home tonight for 220 MPH + evening of adrenaline. I know it's not x-box but I've only got a PS2. Last years drivers too so no Scott Dixon BOOOOOOOOOOO

Re: IndyRacing Series on XBox

I played it last night for a few hours on XBox. I read some review that said you could jump into the hardest level without a problem, which is crap. Without changing setup options, you're lucky to lead a race on easy. Of course, I left some "auto AI" setting on, which made them always as fast as me. After 5 races in the series on easy, I've only won once...then again, I won the Indy 500 mode on 100% AI with that setting off by a few seconds. I'll have to turn off that auto AI crap and change it to hard and see what happens.

The handling seems pretty good...I've never driven an IRL car, obviously, but they are fast and twitchy in the game. They stick really well (hammer down around most tracks, just breathing the throttle some to set the car for a corner), and I'm not sure if it's more arcade than sim yet.

I know it's fun, although I'll have to find better damage settings...I plowed a wall a few times with no damage, and the inability to look left or right from the cockpit really gets me. You know a car is there, and they're so dependent upon running in tight quarters, yet you have no rearview mirrors or ability to look around.

I've enjoyed the hell out of it so far, but there are a couple things that eat at me the more I play it.
