DiemetriX Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Spinning is a bit hard to start with. No problem for me now tough ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caris Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Just got this game, been quite hyped up for it. I'm very, very disappointed with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 ..came in the door this morning ..haven't really had much time with it yet, have done the first tutorial section and the very first race of the bronze cup (only got 96 stars, but that was an S Ranking.. though I know I'll go back when I'm actually good at it and 96 will seem so pathetic.. ) I can see the potential there for me to really get into the game and enjoy it a lot.. shall give it a blast later when my living room is visitor-free (grr..)

Yeah, that's so hard. I did the first one, but now I can't even do one. It's so frustrating. I also got the summit car with the slow stearing. It's still not great, but bearable, and I got a couple of s ranks with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I woke up late this morning. I planned to get up at 7 and go across the woolworths and get it, and then play it lots before I went to Uni. Thing is, I had uni at 1, and I woke up at quarter to 12. I barely had time to get ready, let alone go to get this. My ex-girlfriend saved the day. She went to woolworths for me to pick it up, and alas, I have this game. I played a little before I left the house, and I absolutely love this game. Can't say that I find the controls particularly difficult or anything. Getting speed and performing a jump is just awesome. It won't have a long lifespan, but if this is the future, count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zechs Merquise Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Just got this game, been quite hyped up for it. I'm very, very disappointed with it... I thought this looked like total crap. Now give me Wave Race! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 well just completed the bronze cup, here's how I did on the first run: so had to do the second track again. so far loving the game,love the way the stars are the way to progress, you can win all the races and still not get enough get all the stars so means you have to go back and play again. love the tracks, even though they are bordered off still seem plenty big enough and plenty of routes to get tree runs in them. like the different ways to win points as well stops it from being stale and leads to you adapting as the tracks around you form and move and such like.

Oli1983uk Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Picked this game up today, cant play it tonight as I am out and staying at my girlfriends, so will play it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I think this is quite good, not amazing, but it's decent fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 The platinum cup is quite hard, only done 2/5 of them so far (was 5th place in both of them). I'm surprised at the amount of "supers" I've done. 4 Super Air 56 Super Tree Runs 22 Super Drifts 80 Super Truck Smashes 10 Super Rings And I've managed to do 2 1080 spins (for some reason, It doesn't keep a record of them). It's great that it's still fun to repeat a level after failing it many times, but annoying when you are around 2 stars under the target. Clocked up 5 and a half hours so far, still have the Super Excite and the Mirror cups to do, and I haven't touched the challenges yet. This really isn't as short as I expected... edit: Forgot to mention all the S-Ranks I need, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Social Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Picked this up yesterday ( pal launch ). Luckely you can change the music cause it really sucks but the gameplay has been pretty good so far. I pretty much always got an S rank on the first try at the moment because it's really easy, but it might become harder once I finish the gold cup. The graphics could use a bit more polish though... oh well. I also find it kinda weird to drive without using a steerig wheel thingie because flicking the remote up and down gets me confused lol. they could have released this at launch for europe though...

Gizmo Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Absolutely loving this game. Me and a friend have been playing it all day - the VS mode is limited whaat? If there was a bot option I wouldn't even use it. I've only done the bronze cup single player (to get mroe tracks for us to use) but I loved every minute of playing it. Single player seems faster too, so that's a a nice "suprise" to me (as in, I'm going up from vs, where most will go down from Single). My favourite Wii game I have bar Zelda, but that was a single player game. Playing this in multi is just ACE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motion Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Pretty fun game. Not groundbreaking or spectacular but as That Guy says, decent fun. Still can't figure out how to do air spins though?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I've only done the first tutorial, so far. But, I'm cooking some dinner first, and then will be playing some more of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicktendo Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Bought it this evening from Gamestation. Pretty fun game. Got an S, 2 A's and a B in Bronze Cup. I like how easy it is to pick up and play and the sense of speed is really good too. I think I will like it even more as I get into it. A good game in my opinion. Nice Graphics. Definately has that Nintendo feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonM7 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Horrible first impressions. I mean the screen tear/wobble is awful, the framerate irratic, the amount of stuff you're supposed to keep track of plus wiggling the controller = hate. Then it gets fun. And then some more fun. Now I'm having fun with it and the niggles I had are not as pronounced anymore but they do keep it from feeling any brand of fantastic. But it's fun, and it suggests grandeur from upcoming games, I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I really don't think the air spin works properly it seems hit and miss whether it decides to spin or not, I mean you sometimes get it just tilting left to right, you sometimes get it alternatly facing the left down then the right side down.... But so I am loving this game, and is a lot more indepth than I thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 While I do love ET, I'd like to pick up on this line: But it's fun, and it suggests grandeur from upcoming games, I like that. It seems to me all too many games are leaving people with the feeling. Zelda was good, but there were niggles which could be fixed: red Steel was good and a sequel could be more than that: Monkey ball was good but could be expanded on; the list is huge. I'm hoping that developers stop tapping excellence on the shoulder, and start turning it round and punching it in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonM7 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 But the system is still super young, and all the titles you mention are all launch games. I find it admirable that they all leave us with positive feelings at all. Compare these to what the DS had, because DS the IDEA was a lot stronger than its titles for a long time.

Fierce_LiNk Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Fierce, you "absolutely love this game" after only 1 tutorial? Good on you Haha, I know. But, just putting the controller in your hands and figuring out what to do, it just feels great, imo. There's a lovely sense of speed in this, and thats how I love my racers.
