Coolest Driving Game! (No Quattro Content)



OK.  This was so cool I had to share.  Go check out your most advanced video
arcade in your home town to see if they have the new Ferrari F355 simulator.
Locally here in Chicago it's in the Dave&Busters.  This thing is a total
immersion system with wrap around screens and force feedback.  It's got 3
modes of play:
Arcade - lame
Training - pretty instructional for the track lines and driving technique
Simulation - 99% real
In the simulation mode the system has a 6-spd gated shifter (ala Ferrari)
and a clutch!  After playing for 4 hours and spending countless dollars I
was finally able to complete 2 laps at Monza in the full race/simulation
mode and once I came in 7th instead of last.  It was 99% as good as being at
the track.  Gotta drive the right line, brake in the right zones, rev-match
to a degree on down shifting, avoid traffic, and be fast all at the same
time.  The only thing missing was the sensation of power but you really get
lost in the game.  The best part was that friend that play arcade style
(bouncing off other cars to slow down find a much more realistic reaction
than found in any other game!).

I highly recommend this one, it will provide me all the fast driving race
track fix I need in the off season.
