i went to EBgames today and the guy didn't even shelve it yet. I told him to yank one out and sell it to me. It came in since late last night but no one bothered to stock it up! Oh well, if i can get some nice vids from it, i'll post it so you can see if you want to buy it yourself.

my review on it is this.. i don't like it much.. the handling is horrible compared to GT3. definitely rent first then buy. i use the joypad and i had a hard time just tryin to keep it steady. i tried drifting in different ways and as soon as you hit the gas or slam on the brakes, it gains grip all too quick. i like how it the car backfires when you downshift real quick but overall, i'd prefer GT3 over it any day. good to have if you're a racing fan but you'll lost interest quick if you're not into it. my 2 cents.

"And how many people with a playstation 2 that like racing HAVEN'T played GT3?"

*raises his hand* I played one level, that hardly counts.

:eek: you need to go buy GT3 NOW! It's $20!!! For the best game on PS2!!! What in the world is stopping you?!

oh, btw, I decided to get Xenosaga instead of Auto Modellista since it got some bad reviews. Let me just say that I played Xenosaga for 7 hours of the first 12 I owned it... the other 5 were spent eating or letting my friend play video games since I was borrowing his PS2... That game rocks...:D

I Like iT!! Its really not comparable to GT3, becaust thats alot more serious racing, hell it includes Porsche Ruff's and F1's. But i herd something about Tokyo Extreme Racer up there, theres a second one coming out???? When??? that game rocks, and if you liked it, then you will like AM. Its just a fun game with mess around with. I just played a friends last night, but i think im gonna buy it soon, but i HATE spending the money:D

I only like the game because it is good to play online and all the customization it involves to make your car look nice. Other than that and it is a piece of S H I T. The fact that it doesn't have an S14 makes it more of a piece of S H I T. J-spec Tuner can say what he wants bout S14s, i still believe the S14a is one of the most beautiful cars out there in the import scene especially when it is hooked up nice. In my opinion, a Nissan owner who trashes other nissan cars is just flat out stupid and gay. Why do you even go on a site where all nissan owners chat and talk like a friendly community and trash nissan cars(notice how i didnt say someone's car in particular, cause some people just deserve to get their ride trashed).

97' black 240sx. (redtop SR20 motor is being shiped as we speak)

I bought it and I like it. There are alot of secret cars and upgrades that can be won while racing. At least with this you have the ability to choose what brand upgrades you want. I didn't necessarily like Nismo for everything for my GT-R on GT3, I wish I had more options. This is more of an arcade game than hardcore racing like GT when you can adjust ride height and spring rate. Adjusting the cpus and things like that. As far as Initial D., I like that one too. I like killing the Mugen Civics when I pop in my card with a fully modded BNR34. Damn I love walking off them. Anyway, I think it's alot of fun since there really isn't alot out there right now. I get tired of getting my *** kicked in Tao Feng. But that's fun too.

Yeah it does look like it's going to be nice. Anyway, there is an engine swap feature on Auto modellista. I just put a RB26 in a Silvia, the only bad thing is you cant tune it.

mSg-So does mine. Is it me or does the game favor Integras and RX-8s?

ive played A.M.(auto modellista) for about 3 hours.its deffinately not gt3 or x-racer zero, but i really like the originality approach and you can drift like a biotch.I want the rb26 swap and do you have to unlock the s14? Overall i would describe it as a 2003 ridge racer.
