Default New RacePro video

Exclusive: Race Pro's GT Class Unveiled -

looking quite interesting!

although i noticed some flickering brake lights on the cars in the video, i hope its not one of them cheap ways to slow down the "badly programmed" AI players

seem this trick used on a few games.

Is this going to be any better or worse than their GTR games on the PC? or is it basically a port?

I don't read too much into demo's these days - the demo's of Forza 2 & MotorStorm Pacific Rift were miles off the finished product.

My mate's just got an Xbox360 and he's working out which are the best driving sims available.

Which would you recommend right now ? He's after more realism than arcadey handling.

First reviews are looking weak

Race Pro (xbox360: 2009): Reviews

2.5 out of 5 from Hardcore Gamer.

Sounds like it has great physics/mechanics but poor AI and rough graphically. Still sounds like it could be a hit online though where AI doesn't matter.

Surprising. The AI in the PC games (GT Legends and GTR) was actually quite good. Hard to believe they've gone backwards...
