Race Pro Review from Official Xbox Magazine

Official Xbox Magazine writes: "No rookie drivers with stars in their eyes, no fictional leagues to master…not even a garage-like hub for fiddling with your unlocked cars. The cars and environments are equally austere, and the slowdown when your car goes off the track is disappointing.".

[DavidMacDougall]

I'll stick with GT5

[Smileys]

same. err... if it ever comes out. -_-

[arika]

i thought this was a gt5 clone or some even said its a gt5 killer. well uhhm... i guess this review speaks for itself.

[Awesome Possum]

Like I said before this game is average.

[sonarus]

This is honestly what i expected. The general video game review scores we run now is basically if a game has no hype expect low scores. Hype rules the scoring system

[nbsmatambo]

if ur own magazine is bashing ur game, u really f'ed up...

[Montrealien]

great sim racer, not for everyone and Gt5 is 3 years late (still can't wait for it though).

the people that wont play this game and look for e-peen stroaking instead of gaming are just going to miss out on a quality sim racer. No need to hate, uh wait, I forgot, this is N4G, where people complain and bicker more then they actually game.

This game was never intended to be a GT5 killer, even though some random special person said so and special people take eachothers comments seriously, or so it seems. And it is very well worth the 40$ an till we actually get Gt5 or Forza 3, I will have my money's worth.

And sonarus , Too Human begs to differ with your theory.

[djtek184]

Óh god more flops, there's no stopping them. 360 is on a roll.

[Pennywise]

I cant floppin believe it!

[lokiroo420]

HAhahaha, man where are the usual suspects again? POG, mart, blur crab,fox, looks like they have tucked tail and ran once again! They must be busy eating their own words, should be getting rather stuffed by now.

[Kaliumhest]

Maybe the game's not that good after all.

[Rims]

sorry xbots. enjoy Star Ocean in 510p.

[Queers of War]

didnt SO4 get a flop review as well? 7/10 if i recall

in any case...LOLOLOLOLOL

even an xbox mag went harsh on this flop

[Obama]

yeah SO4 seems to be a flop as well since the bots have been calling WKS a flop when it only has 2 reviews.

[NovusTerminus]

I am a PS3 owner, and I want Star Ocean. the game looks fun. I don't know why people look at platform instead of the game anymore.

But yeah as for the game at hand... I don't like racing games... Any of them really.

[Dpa]

Ive just been playing for the last 2 hours, and its exactly what i expected. Reminds me alot of MotoGP 08.

This game is basically a simulator full stop. Its ugly, dull and has horrific presentation BUT it has a brilliant and realistic handling model.

[ViceKingz]

my god motogp 08....
cant believe i even bothered dling the demo

[Montrealien]

I agree Dpa, if people come into this expecting a flashy racer with a rookie who has a twicke in their eye, they will be dissapointed, but if your a gear head and you want a brilliant Sim racer for you living room instead of your PC, this does it's 40$ job very very well.

[LarVanian]

Lol we PS3 owners get quality racers like Motorstorm and Wipeout while Xbots get this crap. LMAO!

[TOO PAWNED]

worthy of being 360 exclusive

[123456789]

2 reasons 1. It wasn't a good game 2. Now when they give an xbox exclusive a perfect score xbox fans can say the site isn't bias. If this game was hyped they would giv it a 8/10.

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

And it was dubbed the GT5P killer. Hahahahahaha!

FLOP!!

Man the flop train is getting longer for the 360.

[Neo604]

the review is bias!!!!!!

[TheColbertinator]

Sony must have paid for this review lol

Oh well.I was not interested in this game anyway.Simbin is mainly a PC developer

[jessupj]

You stole my avatar! Theif!! Arrest that man!!

:)

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

Where is PoG now? GT5 killer my @ss. It looks and plays like crap.

The 360 can't render interior and exterior models as good as GT5P. Not to mention it still looks like crap rendering just the exterior model. See Forza 2 for example. Xbots should be ashamed of themselves for ever comparing this POS to the masterpiece known as Gran Turismo.

[cmacdonald]

This is too bad. Oh well there is always Forza 3.

[TheColbertinator]

I agree

[Montrealien]

If you want a good sim to hold you over till GT5 or Forza 3, this is 40$ well spent, any true racing sim fan should not miss out on this game imho.

[GiantEnemyFlop]

lolll another flop

[Kushan]

This was never going to be a big hitter, this kind of game isn't for racing game fans, it's for real life racing fans, the hardcore of them as well.
It's designed to be realistic and unfortunately for some, realism isn't all it's cracked up to be. It may only be a 6/10 in the eyes of a gamer, but for a racing fan, it'll likely be one of the best games out there, purely for the authenticity that's often overlooked in favour of "fun".

[table]

thats probably why the reviews for this game are all over the place.

[Kushan]

More than likely, it'll be a love/hate affair I suppose. I'm not fond of it, myself, but I can see what they were going for.

[Montrealien]

yeah, this is a hardcore racer, not your average console racer. Like Flight simulator is to Ace Combat.

[Power_Of_Flops_]

Another day, another flop for the 360.

It's sad to see a console dying ;(

[GiantEnemyBOT]

AHAHAHA what a flop

[Spike47]

I'll stick to GRID

[ActionBastard]

Wasn't this supposed to kill GT5? Awwwwww.

[mt]

seriously we need you GT5 now . it is PS special logo for racing game

[geda]

mart? are you there mart?!

[eagle21]

we all knew! :)

[intruder_qc]

Well everyone go back to GT5P, until the real GT5 comes out ;-)

[dustgavin]

I can see all the PS3 haters hugging each other in a corner and crying.

[dustgavin]

Ouch. This game looks pretty horrible. Gta5 prologue blows it out of the water.

[Montrealien]

I issagree, I actually think you get more for your moneys worth with this game. Don't get me wrong, I loved GT5P and can't wait for the actual game, but this is a great steal if you want a good racing sim.

[Microsoft_Spokesman]

What was that about it being revolutionary?

[Obama]

Where's giantenemyflopster?

[djtek184]

He ran back into his hole.

[dukadork3]

quoting theFART: "And yet another genre the 360 is king."

and that genre is...

CRAPPY, ASS LOOKING, BORING AS SH!T RIP OFFS OF GREAT PLAYSTATION FRANCHISES

i can't wait for next xmas when forza3 and this turd will be obliterated by GT5.

[djtek184]

The correct quote should have been "And yet another genre the 360 is king of FLOPS!!."-theFart at XboxQueens.com

[Magic_The_Celt]

LMFAO

Flop

[gravv]

can't wait to compare race pro, star ocean 4, halo wars metacritics with killzone 2 :D

[tudors]

based on the mixed reviews I think I will give it a try and see what I think.
