Righty a friend and I have just landed a copy of Race Pro and we are shocked that they are actually allowed to release games of such a low standard ....here is a list of whats wrong with the game. i'd love to hear your views too ..

No starting FMV to the game...most other racing games have a nice slick vid to kick things off!

The menu its self looks like an original xbox game at best or something you'd download from the XNA creators club!
there is just no comparison to  Grids super flashy menu system for example..

there is no music, yeah we've all heard of the global recession but trying to skip the cost of music licenses is just not on..

with there being no music you'd hope that the in game sound would be good ....errr WRONG! gear changes sound like someone rubbing a jumper over a mic!

now on to the the graphics, considering this is like supposed to be what? 4th generation of 360 games?? i was shocked to see it looked like an original xbox title! there is countless coding issues, the image can be jerky and tears frequently. the draw distance is also very bad (you can see things popping up as you drive round such as trees and people) there is little/no car damage. again comparing to games like Grid in which you can have awesome crashes...

the cars AI is also very poor, in one instance, in the pits the AI driver took over to exit the pits crashed into the wall and then just got stuck there and the race was over ....nice!

i could go on but wont i think you get the idea.... im just confused as to how games like this get to the final release phase ?! doesn't anyone test these things? dont they play their rival companies games !??!?!?!

WHAT THE HELL ! LOL

I rarely play single player games so I can't comment on it but the online game is shockingly bad.  Hangups and lost connections to the host are common annoyances atm but a good online game can be found by hosting or playing on 6 player servers.  

With all the games faults, music not being one of them this game is the best sim on the 360 by a long shot.  I just hope they manage to fix it before something else takes it's crown.

I'm surprised Race Pro passed Microsoft's stringent quality tests.

Ye the game is terrible -  plays terrible looks terrible.

Another thing - they need to fix the glitches in the game asap, 55 secs round monza (in a F300 car) is just rediculous....

Use the wheel.

This game is great it may not look good but its great where it counts if you want a sim buy this if you want arcade buy Grid its that simple if you cant play it don't moan i want sim sim sim i am fed up of arcade games there no fun i want a challenge this game gives it and that's why i like it.

also the damage is actually better than forza not as good as Grid but that's where they spent all the time as the game is bad.

here is a picture of my car after a crash my wheel fell off lol.

Also the game wont be as polished as other big named games as SIMBIN are not a huge company like Codemasters or EA so there game wont be as polished.
