The game is out in February and we are already talking about past reviews? When was it reviewed,in december?

Give me the link and I will believe you,but don`t try to downplay a AAA racing game that MS was smart to secure it exclusive.

I see some people aren't even willing to give the game a chance. I will wait to pass judgment since I'm familiar with the developer's track (no pun intended) record.

just had a look at meta some1 gave it a 4................doesnt sound like a big franchise 2 me, its mabey a niche game for fans.n i hav no worries for ppl who want this game at the end of the day...........i may take a look at it though it could turn out great, if its got a realistic driving in it it will be fun

Here is the developer website. Simbin has developed many award winning racing games on the PC and seen by most as the best racing sim.

My only fear is the will cater so much to the console gamers and turn this version into another arcade racers (that we already have so many of).

Anyway, racing genre seems pretty dead now so this game will most likely be overlook sadly. I hope it does at least decent and get some cult following.

The vid didn't look to shit hot for a HD vid. I would like to see this on my hdtv before i judge this game...

Simbin always delivers top-notch gameplay, they just can't afford to develop cutting-edge graphic engines. That's why they get so-so reviews.

@mysticD: I've seen screens from the car configuration menu... it's even more extensive than Forza 2.

 The graphics in GRID were great for a HD game,too bad the gameplay was so-so. I prefer great gameplay with so-so graphics than superb graphics with so-so gameplay.

But I still say Race Pro looks great. Not so great as Grid,but still great.

I forgot to say about the 12 players online AND system link multiplayer (Lan). I like that...

No, the February 2009 editions of both reviewed them according to metacritic: http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/racepro?q=race%20pro

You seen the reviewers comments?

"Its monk-like devotion to pure racing simulation is remarkable...and kind of a turn-off for the rest of us. [Feb 2009, p.80]"

"Ultimately, if you can put up with the fact that it's aesthetically rough around the edges, you're unlikely to find a more viscerally rewarding racing experience than RACE Pro. [Feb 2009, p.78]"

"RACE Pro has compelling racing mechanics when it is just you versus the track, but it has more than a few rough patches elsewhere."

"This makes any gameplay not related to racing essentially meaningless."

AKA kickass racing gameplay, they are taking points off it because of graphics and hardcore racing gameplay. Which is what Simbin always delivers.

I agree GRID looked awesome. Maybe the best looking racer to date. I just couldn't get into it and im a big racing fan.
