[quote name='Hoffer']I think I'm already done with the game.
The cars handle just terrible. I can see that you get new classes of cars and can upgrade them. Problem is I can't even beat the early races to get these new cars.
I'm on about the 5th race right now. I've tried it 4 times and the best I've done is 4th out of 12th place. I HATE racing games where I have to do an event more than 2-3 times to beat. I've got too many other games I'd like to play to spend an hour trying to beat 1 race.[/quote]
The big thing is not touching your brakes... ever. I couldn't nail the first couple races either because i was using the e-brake to turn and it just slows you down too much. the regular brake doesnt allow you to turn, so you stop in a straight line... very frustrating. then i saw one of the loading screens and it said if you let off the accelerator, start your turn, then reapply acceleration, you'll skid through your turns. it works. it took me a bit to mentally leave the brakes alone, but i was getting at least bronze from then on (as long as i avoided big crshes) just using the accelerator.
also, if you do wreck, or end up facing the wrong way, just hit Y to reset your car, its much faster than trying to turn around to ramp up to speed. your car will begin by going about 35mph... its a big help.
I happened to see this on the racks the other day, so i bit. lots of fun for $20!
