Man this was a huge dissapointed. What a horrible, horrible game. If I had something positive to say I would, but this was disgraceful. We're in the year 2005, and this was the best they could come up with?

The crashes are fun. I got bored of the racing (far too easy), turned the car around and nutted another civic head-on. I rolled the bastard! it was great! At the moment of impact, the cars just cracked into the air, I landed first, and pushed him over. I'm looking forward to massively hilarity in multiplayer games, but thats about it, as the racing is really quite dull.

All I want is for someone to make a PC racing game with the physics, damage and car selection of forza, the scenery and tracks of need for speed, and if I'm not asking for too much already, then a drivable city ala GTA would be cool too.

Man I'm actually looking forward to this what with now dirt-track racing. It'd be even better if they had a bit of rallying in the game besides the buggy and Outlaw racing we've seen in screenshots.

yeeee haw!!!! this is fuckin awesome! physics feel better than trd2 and the graphics are kick ass. Ai is also much improved.
plus it runs great on my ancient ati 9000.

only complaint is the civic. this car is slow as shit.

what happened to the blur effect they had in toca1. they removed it in toca2 and i was hoping it would come back in 3.
either ways, crashes rock.

Logitech DFP users, you'll probably have to edit the pchardwareconfig.ini in the savedata folder for the game to recognize the wheel.

change "ExtraWideWheelLock=0" to "ExtraWideWheelLock=1"

This info can be found at the bottom of the readme.txt but I thought it was worth a mention here.

The demo seems to lose the profile and controller settings upon exit so you'll have to reconfigure the controls every time you play.

It's only one track and car and is very easy.
From the readme, in the recommended specification section - Pentium 4 or Athlon at 3.2GHz, I'd like a 3.2GHz athlon please.
