just picked this up on monday. Finally got a chance to really play it. Its interesting. But the more i play the more i like it. The whole just cruising around picking up random races is kinda cool. The only thing i hate about the game is that stupid time distortion slow down shit. Any time i go to hit the brakes, i also push the joystick in so it turns on all the time. Its annoying as hell. I wish i could just turn it off. ---

Hmm… looks interesting I might end up picking this up for the Wii once it’s out. ---

ok i take it back. The drifting is just retarded. There is like no control of it at all. ---

drifting is easy…keep your foot in it and you swing out… let off and the car cuts in. once you start controlling it with the throttle pressure its easy. ---

ok do you need to beat all of the races before you can beat that last guy? I will be in the whole race, then the dude passes me and flies 5miles ahead and there is no way for me to catch him. ---

Just got it last night, the control works good but it takes a lot of getting used to. My biggest gripe is the menu. Instead of using a “point & shoot” like every other Wii game, they require you to have the Nunchukusthinggy connected as they want you to use 4 to 6 buttons for menu navigation. :bloated: Otherwise it seems to be a solid game so far. 🙂 ---

I fucking hate the drifting in this game, the physics of the game do not understand momentum ---

Starting to really get into it now. The drifting is wierd due to the lack of momentum like the prior games, but I’m finding super easy to control with the remote so far in conjunction with above use of the throttle. Though it’s a bit awkward to hold sideways for a long duration, the longer I’ve used it the more I’m beginning to like this over an analog stick. ---

I don’t think physics was a major concern when this game was made. :shrug: ---
