CMR3 Mini review... StAnZo\'s Played it..

i dunno about the pace notes issue Cordie, i\'d love proper pace notes aswell. most people would get used to them
but i\'d see it as a big problem coding the calls into the game. it would give some devs a proper headache.
But i would love to have \'real\' pace notes in future rally games but sadly games are for the mass market.
i doubt it will happen.

Well, check out the Codemasters CMR3 forum and see what people think. there are lots of mixed
reviews from people.. i\'d say that a lot are dissapointed in some way or another, but there are people there that
think the game is excelent.

I\'ll leave it to you guys to make up your own minds..

Stanzo,

do you think your expectations could have just been too high? I mean, its obvious that your a hardcore gamer, one that filters through news columns, previews etc to find every scrap of detail on the game.

Going by the movies, the graphics are amazing. Sure, Codemasters could have screwed all PS2 owners over again and used CG imatating RT but I doubt it. You say its based on CM2 PC graphics wise, why is this bad? CM2 had excellent graphics on PC at its time.

The gameplay looks classic CM to me, especially in the vids, seeing the cars the way they handle.

I dunno, its just I doubt that Codemasters would have really screwed up a second time. Have you tried the XBOX version?

Whats your opinion of all the evironmental effects? The rain droplets, dust, mud, shadows, good lighting?

Hehe, mate, I doubt StanZo had too HIGH expectations for this game, if anything he had low expectations for this one and still got disappointed :P. Ah well. Better wait for WRCII then, hopefully be better than the first which I felt was alright but nothing more.
