Title: GTI Club Plus (PSN) Is Out
Post by: bork on January 16, 2009, 06:14:20 PM

Not a bad little game for $10.  It's made by Sumo Digital, the same guys who have done the Outrun 2 ports for Sega.  This is basically a port-up of Konami's old GTI Club racer from 1996; it looks pretty decent, but don't expect Wipeout HD-quality visuals.  There seems to be a small variety of online race types although I have yet to try it.  Single player has three difficulty settings which seems to be just be variations on the main "course."  Lots of shortcuts too, and even some traffic here and there.  There's also online leader boards and you can customize your car's paint job, add decals, and change the horn.

Yeah I played the demo and already have some eurofriends who've played it, and I thought it was worth a purchase. But Magic Balls or whatever that Arkanoid-like game was just came out too and I love Arkanoid too much to ignore it. :-\

the demo is enjoyable, but I'm content with just that.  If I do buy it, it will be on a whim once I get a racing wheel.

Oh, this is some sort of series?  There's a new GTI club arcade racer that I saw, looked dumb but I didn't realize it had some history.

Decent game
mediocre visuals
weak value (one small city)
bad physics
