Just bought this off the marketplace thing, now to wait the many hours it will take to install!
I did the same. The amount of time it took to install was a fking travesty.

Just drove my mate home, went to the shop and I've just got back to it on 39%...

I'm starting to think the Alfa Spider might not have been the best car to replace my never driven RS1800. It's a right looker, but god was it dull to drive. Hardly surprising it never really made much competition to the MX5 when the MX5 was a new thing. I had expected it to feel vaguely similar to drive, but it was quite staggering how slow it felt. The gears feel rather long (but they're not) because of the wheezing top end, jumping into the RS1800 is a revelation. I can't wait to stick a couple of upgrades on the Escort.

Played the demo, and the game turned up today. An hour in and loving it. Loads of hand holding but its great fun so far.

Just getting into the online road trip. Like how it rewards you for clean and 'skilled' driving in general. Drifting also nets you loads of points. I may come 5th but still win.

It's also satisfying to see all those people who barge come bottom, even if they may have crossed the line first. smile

Haven't picked this up yet as I'm still on Destiny. But have they sorted the rubber banding yet?

If they haven't, I haven't noticed it. Some races I finish 10 secs ahead of the pack so I assume so.

Nice, I'm working away at the moment. If I ever get the time, I'll pick this up.

I started downloading this late yesterday afternoon so it should be finished by the time I get home this evening, hopefully...

Has anyone made a PH smiley available in the livery store yet?

My gamertag is designergeek if anyone wants to add another racer to their friends list …

I'm really enjoying this at the moment, when it works!

I've encountered a persistent glitch that comes and goes and fks the game up, most irritating. It requires a full reset of the system too, since it seems to lock the pad somehow and prevents you from using the button to get back to the browser, and the Kinect voice is a pain to navigate with even if you could shut the system process for the game down. It only seems to happen when you're in free roam, the pad will stop working and lock the car into acceleration in whatever gear you're in, and the car will just run away until it hits something. Pad resets don't seem to work either, what a fking pain in the arse.


That said, I'm having a great time driving the Lotus Eleven around, I love the way it will slide gently before snapping into a pendulum like oversteer.

You know it's 36 GB yes? And that you can start playing once it gets to 9%?

This game is fantastic,it's so very good looking and awesome fun... Couldn't put it down last night. Didn't take long for me to be able to buy a black F355, I had a lot of fun cruising around free roam with it. Have also been gifted a 360 Challenge!

It's not too realistic and I think it's all the better for it.

Is anyone talented enough to create genuine UK number plate fonts? There was a guy on here that did it for Forza 4.

Landed up buying this for the 360 yesterday. Good fun, but a bit irritating being able to buy all sorts of upgrades but not fiddle with any settings.

What do you do when you get to that bit of the game where your girlfriend gets in a mood because you're spending all your time on the Xbox?
