Review: Supercar Challenge | GamesAreEvil.com

GrE writes, "One thing that people need to realize right away is that this game lies firmly in the "driving simulation" category. If you love Burnout style racers where you can powerslide around corners doing 150MPH while using a nitrous boost to overtake the lead car, then this almost certainly isn't the game for you. Even on the most basic of difficulty settings the game still feels like a driving simulation. Sure, it'll hold your hand for you and won't let you spin out if you approached a corner too fast and forgot to brake, but you can still see the game's target audience. This is aimed directly at the gamers out there who love the challenge of learning a car inside out, understanding its strengths and weaknesses, knowing exactly how far you can push it before it gets away from you, and then using that knowledge to attack the various tracks as aggressively as possible..."

Sounds a seriously hardcore racing sim! Nice to see on a console though

[CrAppleton]

But it is fairly accessible to the casual if you use all of the assists.

I love a good racing sim, but I kinda like using the low end cars at first... they should add them in DLC.

[Haly]

DLC would be great to see!

[Neco512]

why would you want to add crappy cars to a game called Supercar Challenge... are you thick?

"If you love Burnout style racers where you can powerslide around corners doing 150MPH"

...yes, I do, tell me more, sir.

"then this almost certainly isn't the game for you"

Sad Hippo. :(

Sweet looking game. Awful, awful name.

Its the second best looking racer on the PS3 after GT5(p). And the only one besides that which does 1080@60fps. (that said, after I got disappointed with NFS:S which doesn't even come close).

Actually, its not just the second best looking racer. Its the second based racing sim, also.

Wait why is this under PC if this is a PS3 exclusive?

If I had a little more money I would purchase this game. I was also pretty close to getting Ferrari challenge. The thing I enjoyed the most was driving in the wet.

[Ju]

Yes. Steering wheel, C0ckpit view, wipers on :)

I remember this is the same people who did that Ferrari Challenge game. That was awful and had horrible track modeling, looking at videos of it, it looks like most of the content is rehashed from it.

[Ju]

What are you talking about? Ferrari Challenge was a very decent game. Mostly underrated.

[MaCkTeHkNiFe]

I'm not much for these simulation heavy racers- I'd rather get a bajillion impossible traffic checks in Burnout Revenge :)

[Tunerboy8732]

I will definetly be buying this game.If its anything like ferrari challenge then I know it will be great.That game was very challenging too even for a hardcore gran turismo gamer as myself but still is great.

[FunkYellowMonkey]

Possibly get this when it goes cheap.

In the meantime its Dirt 2 and GT5 that's all be needed for me driving fix this year! :)

If it handles exactly like Ferrari Challenge, then no, it's not totally hardcore sim. It does have a sim feel to it... but... i personally feel Ferrari Challenge is a little on the easy side... quite accessible to beginners who wish to "enter" into sim racing.

However, for some reason, my Driving Force GT is not responsive for Ferrari Challenge. I hope this one improves though...

I might just get it.... might.
