Just tried it, the racing mechanics are really bad, the controls are "Okay", they just seem a bit awkward, and delayed.

Specs.

Windows XP SP3

2GB Ram

320GB HDD

Nvidia Geforce 7600 @ 512MB

Ran fine speed wise on medium, seemed a bit awkward all around, from the camera, to the racing mechanics. Not that great of a racer, but then again, I'm not a racing game fan, and didn't even like the latest Need For Speed game, but loved Most Wanted and Carbon.

I was quite excited about this game, till I played it that is. The handling of the cars is horrid! it's like they are on ice or something...shame really, I would of bought this game the day it came out but gonna skip it now [cause of the handling]. I'm more pumped about Mirror's Edge now, hopefully that one delivers!

don't you pretty much NEED a 360 controller for this. without analog accelerate you can't really play the game because you can only have your foot as hard on the pedal or not at all.

is that why people are complaining about handling? because it works great for me with the 360 controller as long as you don't go crazy on the accelerate.

It sucks on both consoles and PC.

Give me a break...

I could setup my Saitek P2600 controller in options but in-game it don't work.

And if I do map the Pause function on the controller, the only thing I can do in-race is CTRL+ALT+DELETE.

What's the joke?

The 2.66 GHz C2D is a lot faster than the 2.4 GHz X2 3800+. They're not a close match at all :s

The GeForce 8800 is also alot faster than the Radeon X1950. I don't know why they always do this with recommended specs.

this game is really strange, it seems you either love it or hate it. and the main thing people cite is handling. well for some people it seems to be fine. maybe these are the people that don't care about realism. or for it to actually drive like a car at all!!!

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
