Looks good.

Although I did see a clip on the xbox marketplace and IMO it looked very arcade like. Only a 10 sec clip though so not too concerned yet.

Simbins reputation gives me hope!

All we need now is the G25 support for the xbox...

not like the official wheel? as long as you stick a rolled up pair of socks under the brake pedal it's cracking.

Is it another XBOX exclusive?

12 player on line mode that should be good.

"It's the handling model that is SimBin's true labour of love though, and even a brief playtest suggests that RACE Pro has jostled straight to the front of the console pack, alongside - perhaps even ahead of - GT and Forza. Braking, traction and stability assists can all be adjusted between low, medium and high settings. On low, handling is pliable, but more realistic than most easy modes, with the punishing understeer at speed that confounds every arcade adept making the switch to simulation.

It was in an Alfa like this one that Eurogamer scored a definitive last-corner victory over the dirty and desperate tactics of Atari PR.
Medium settings offer tremendous physical feedback, the touring cars lifting wheels and lurching into corners with tangible weight. High, and we're back to paragraph one of this article - but this time we feel like we'll get there. RACE Pro is better-calibrated for Microsoft's force-feedback wheel and less of a handful on it than Forza 2, and - here's the real surprise - it handles magnificently on the pad too"


Great news for us Ms wheel owners!!!

A rather confusing review, at the begining they say it is no comparison to an Arcade game and that a seasoned arcade player would fall off at the first corner. Then in the final few paragraphs they are comparing it to Race Driver Grid.

However, I've played GT Lengeds and I have faith in this being just a good to drive.

some videos on you tube, in car and bonnet cams look great but behind car looks a bit shaky but i don't use that view so
