planning to swing by the store during lunch to pick this up Do you know if this can be played online?

i'm all over it!!

Well I guess I know what my Best Buy gift card I got at Christmas is going to:dthumb: Is this suppose to be better than MotoGP?

Well I guess I know what my Best Buy gift card I got at Christmas is going to:dthumb: Is this suppose to be better than MotoGP? If it lives up to it's Gran Turismo franchise, it will blow away GP. Still can't wait for GP for the 360. I need moto racing in HD!

I have tomorrow's date set in my cell phones calendar. I'll be picking up my copy.

:here: I'm expecting it in the mail tomorrow.:tt: :willy:

Both Best Buy and Circuit City are showing a release date of 4-06-06??? By the way, if any of you are planning on buying it at Best Buy, there is a printable $5 off any game coupon for reward zone members here: (found through Slickdeals.net) http://www.myrewardzone.com/pdf/getcoupon.pdf

Do they have it for my Commedor 64 system?

they need to make this for PSP!

PSP just got the popular games for now. Maybe later.

I just read the review on gamespot.com and they didn't list Kawasaki as a contributing manufacturer. Anyone know if that's correct? They did mention Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki as well Ducati and Triumph although a majority of the available models are from the Japanese OEM's.

find a gamestop / E.B. games and they will have it the 4th. and no, its not online :wbs:

Whoo hooooo!! Looks like I'll be stoppin' by Best Buy on the way home that day... Chris would be so surprised!! :dthumb:

Whoo hooooo!! Looks like I'll be stoppin' by Best Buy on the way home that day... Chris would be so surprised!! :dthumb: Better check first. It may be in his plans to stop and pick it up already.

4/4 is the ship date, most game stores won't have them til the 5th. Best Buy, CC, wal-mart and other big box stores won't have them to the 6th. Stupid video game release dates, they need to be more like movie stores and release them on the release date and not have this stupid "ship" date.

Unfortunately I found this out not too long ago. Looks like I gotta wait til tomorrow. Good thing I'm on leave. I'll have all day to play it. Girlfriend free too!! I will be worthless tomorrow.

Unfortunately I found this out not too long ago. Looks like I gotta wait til tomorrow. Good thing I'm on leave. I'll have all day to play it. Girlfriend free too!! I will be worthless tomorrow. Yeah, EB and Gamestop both told me it would be in on the 4th. I was all excited today when I went to the store to pick it up. God I was so pissed off when they told me tomorrow. Only good thing it is only 39.99.

Yeah it's a good price.

Only good thing it is only 39.99. alot less than i expected. now im deffinately on it.:cheers:

I guess the days of 49.99 for new releases are over :scratch: or at least until the next generation PS comes out.

I guess the days of 49.99 for new releases are over :scratch: or at least until the next generation PS comes out. I got a feelin they'll be 60 bucks like the 360.

Yeah XBox 360 games are ridiculously overpriced right now as well. Most of them suck hard and the ones that dont suck are way too short. It's like look at the pretty HD, but damn this game is sh*tty.

Has anyone got a copy yet??

Yeah, I been playing for about 5 hours straight. It's good, it's a lot harder than GT, but that is to be expected with bikes. Turning is kinda tricky and there is so much to freakin setup. This game will eat up time like nothing I have ever seen before. It is much more of a simulation than it is a jump in and arcade race the hell out of it with your girlfriend. I can see a lot of people getting very mad at their PS2s with this one. I really like it so far though. Just won a 05 R6 in challenge. Did you not preorder and have to wait til Circuit City or Best Buy gets them tomorrow?

Or is it, what you see is what you get? How do the exhaust's sound? Are there multiple views?

I gotta wait. The graphics are tight? Can you swap plastics and all that crap? Or is it, what you see is what you get? How do the exhaust's sound? Are there multiple views? Graphics are fantastic, much better than that Suzuki TT isle of man game. Depends which mode you are in your choices of plastic you get on the bike. Some modes have one scheme and some modes have 3 or 4 for one bike. I am pretty sure in career mode if you win one bike, you can change the plastic every time you race. Yes it does have multiple views, behind the bike, in the cockpit and from the front fender. Same as GT. It's pretty much just like GT as far as bike/car selection as well. You can customize 4 suits, two race gear, two street gear. You win gear as you progress and you can always change your gear. There is so much you can do in this game, I can't mention all of it unless I typed up the instruction manual. You won't believe how much control you have over how you lean in the turns. You can customize I think 4 different types of lean for your profile, but you can only pick one to race with. Some work better with high speed turn tracks and some with low speed and so on and so on. This game is pretty damn cool.

How do wrecks look?

Got my copy today as well. Unfortunately, I haven't played it yet. I spent the entire night formating my hard drive and re-installing software.

How do wrecks look? They look ok, nothing too brutal. You warp back on the track like 2 seconds into the wreck before you even stop sliding. I wish you raced more bikes, most I have seen on the track at one time is 4 including myself.

I still don't have mine! :cursin: Maybe tomorrow.:tt:

If you hated GT's license procedure to be able to drive certain cars in career mode, you will be mad when you see you have to do it for this game as well.

I stopped by the store yesterday & it was not out yet. But Ill be pickin it up today for sure. Anyone have anyword on MotoGP4? I cancelled my preorder last month or so..cause they kept pushing the release date back.

I just spent like 100 bucks on booze and food last night. Now I gotta wait til next pay day. :cursin:

Woohoo, picked up my copy at lunch and the wife will be gone all evening...jackpot.

picked mine up at lunch as well....sweet game...but disappointed that you cant play it online...otherwise Id be smokin U fools online:lol: Well guess well have to race each other when motogp4 comes out...its suppose to have online capabilities.

wow, for a complete PS2 newb, this is a tough game. I'm sure you guys are smoking right through it, but this is my first and only game (well, besides dance dance revolution:leaving: ) that I have played. Fun:dthumb: But tough

thinking about picking this one up tomorrow... is it a rental or a buyer??

wow, for a complete PS2 newb, this is a tough game. I'm sure you guys are smoking right through it, but this is my first and only game (well, besides dance dance revolution:leaving: ) that I have played. Fun:dthumb: But tough Well, it's not an arcadish game at all. It is a pure simulation. It is definitely not a mario kart, balls to the wall full throttle through the turns, pickup and be good right out of the box. However, if you are use to the GT series games, the learning curve is real smooth. Expect to work the brakes (yes there are two of them and they do make a huge difference on how you use them) as much as you do the throttle. Drewpy, I think it is a definite buy, but it depends on what type of gamer you are. This is not a casual gamer type game, it's very in depth.

Went to Blockbuster but they had none in the stores. I guess I'll just shell out the $40+ for my own copy tomorrow since I don't really want wait any longer. Somehow I can imagine how frustrating I'm gonna be trying to get the stupid license just like GT4 :nonod:

Somehow I can imagine how frustrating I'm gonna be trying to get the stupid license just like GT4 :nonod: So far I got 3 out of the 4 licenses, haven't tried the 4th yet, I am obsessive though and have to get all golds so I can unlock all the cool stuff. Getting silvers isn't that bad, the golds I think are tougher than GT. It takes a lot to get use to the braking. You can high side the bike easy with the front brake. Blockbuster always get games like weeks after they come out.

Personally I think this game is way to indepth to rent. I strted out on the license mode before even attempting to race. I'm stuck on the two-up slolem. I'll get it though, I ain't sceered.

I'll get it though, I ain't sceered. :iagree: I played a little last night and completed the Novice license. It took some getting use to, working both brakes and throttle, going through the hairpins. It is a great game and very addicting.

thinking about picking this one up tomorrow... is it a rental or a buyer?? like many have said...its a simulation game & just like GT takes quite time to progress through the game & be able to control the bike. :2cents: If U r not much into games to begin with or are looking for a plug & play type game ......then u might want to rent this first....just to see if youl like it. then again game rental is around 7-8 bucks...:2cents:

GT was like super easy for me because I raced simulation games much more in depth than GT in leagues for years online. Made some money doing it as well.

I picked my copy up on Wed. but didn't get to play with it until last night. I also went straight to the license section and spent about an hour just to pass the novice section. It is pretty challenging and I enjoy every minute.:dthumb:

i think after the bar tonight might stop off and pick up copy from blockbuster, im guessing its not a drinking game... ill let you know how it goes...:leaving:

i think after the bar tonight might stop off and pick up copy from blockbuster, im guessing its not a drinking game... ill let you know how it goes...:leaving: They probably won't have it. I worked there in my younger days and it usually takes them a week or two before they get new releases.

oh ****... I'm headed into Best buy tonight to get that bitch!

oh ****... I'm headed into Best buy tonight to get that bitch! See what you been missing out ebbs...

See what you been missing out ebbs... yeah I know:wbs: back now though...:dthumb:

just bought my new copy, had to goto three diffrent places to get it but its worth it you can even race scooters...:yikes:

Just brought mine home tonight. I havent payed yet but soon.

Ok, this is weird but I managed to wheelie with ease on a 600RR in 4th gear!!! Is it doable in real life? Like I predicted, the stupid license tests are causing me a lot of grieves. I think I'll try again some other days.

Ok, this is weird but I managed to wheelie with ease on a 600RR in 4th gear!!! Is it doable in real life? Not with out a rear sprocket the size of a pizza pan.:lol:

HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am done with the license tests!!! I will never have to do them again, well unless my memory card dies.

woo hoo I just won the yammie tzr250 '85.....I need training wheels for some the courses.....:lol:

Just started mine. Its defiantly like GT games.

I got the Yam R1 Race Modified on the first try and been stomping the competition in the last championship racing series. I am also wearing the doctors race gear, so it only makes sense to beat the sh*t out of everyone. What I don't get is that the RM '05 R1 is painted like the '06 R1 50th anny???

did ya finish all four series of test already?

I got two bikes that stomp ANY RM bike. They're both Hondas though.

I got two bikes that stomp ANY RM bike. They're both Hondas though. Yeah Drewpy, I have all golds in all 4 licenses. Unfortunately Dlit, you are limited to what you can use in some competitions to just race modified bikes. It's just like the limitations they have on GT competitions. Did you get the game already, I thought you had to wait til next week?

i cant get close to gold on some of those, like a sec off on two...:rant:

i cant get close to gold on some of those, like a sec off on two...:rant: How many licenses have you got so far?

It's just like the limitations they have on GT competitions. Did you get the game already, I thought you had to wait til next week? Nah, I got it...Friday. I said **** it. I got all the licenses, now I need to get all the bikes so I can beat the game. I'm not too many races from doing it. All the game stores were out of it. I found it at Walmart of all places.

got mine from walmart and got two lisences, almost done with expert

i like the two player battle with my roomate wish we could go against other cp on the track at same time

Nah, I got it...Friday. I said **** it. I got all the licenses, now I need to get all the bikes so I can beat the game. I'm not too many races from doing it. All the game stores were out of it. I found it at Walmart of all places. You don't really need all the bikes to beat it, just need one for the world champ. I was able to beat the world champ with the RM R1, so any liter race bike should do the trick. Just figured out what you were talking about about the Hondas, didn't really run that many full competitions that aren't single race before I said screw it and got all gold licenses and got the R1 and went champing. Starting to go back now and get all the championship bikes you win from the smaller series of races.

I actually raced the TT championship again in hopes to get another sick ass bike like the Hondas, but I didn't get anything.

You guys must really be spending some time with this game. I messed around with it for a while, got a few licenses and had to go ride the real thing. Then some partying with friends and now :whore:ing here.:lol:

Then some partying with friends and now :wore:ing here.:lol: It was suppose to storm friday night, so I just stayed home. However it didn't storm til late and I wasted a night of real riding to video gaming riding... I played a ton during the week after work because I don't have much to do because I live in an apt and no real housework or kids to put up with. I didn't play much today. It kinda lost it's appeal after I beat the licenses and the champ. Little too easy and getting the bikes and gear wasn't as hard fought as it was with the GT series and the money issue. I perdict I will be playing other games within the next week as I will run out of any challenge to this game. It really needed an online option and more opponents with more skill. 4 bikes is just not enough for any fun, even if I don't qualify and start from the back I am in the front with in a lap. Not to discourage anyone from playing this game, it is incredible and worth the price. I just rush through games like mad. It is better than any moto game out right now. We will have to see if Moto 360 can top it though.

I may agree with you latter. Once I got the hang of breaking and lean angle. It started getting easy. Then I quit. Did the same with the GT games and then they started killing me. I'm still stuck on the last challenge on NFSMW too.

Ok so what are cheats???

Ok so what are cheats??? given up already gas?

I perdict I will be playing other games within the next week as I will run out of any challenge to this game. I was thinking about that "Godfather" game. Anyone played it?

I was thinking about that "Godfather" game. Anyone played it? nope I will probably go back to racing NR2003, rFactor, and BF2.

I was thinking about that "Godfather" game. Anyone played it? I played it...it was ok...

I played it...it was ok... Would you recomend it? Is it hard? Is it long? No pun intended...

picked it up today. Its gonna take some getting used to the controls. The things fun though!

picked it up today. Its gonna take some getting used to the controls. The things fun though! Which one. DLITALIEN kind'of :jacked:

how do you get these hondas?? i beat the gsxr 1000 challenge on my gxsr 600, felt pretty good about that

how do you get these hondas?? i beat the gsxr 1000 challenge on my gxsr 600, felt pretty good about that I won it by getting gold in the 600 challenge. then one by getting gold in the TT championship.

Would you recomend it? Is it hard? Is it long? No pun intended... if you like GTA you will probably like Godfather..similar game play....

I'm kinda dissapointed in it... you win bikes and gear... not prize money... so you can't save up money to buy a really nice bike or upgrade one alot... infact... other than exhaust and screw'n with the sprockets you can't upgrade them at all... unless they're Race modified... then you can adjust everything but can't replace anything... it's weird. I think they should have kept the prize money... Most of the races are 1 on 1... and if you knock the other rider off your penilized... I'll keep play'n it... hope'n to unlock something but for the most part... I'm dissapointed... the Graphics are very good... better than GT... I'm wondering how they'll look in HD or on the PS3 :drool:

Most fun MC game Iv played to date was the old "Road Rash" series in the NES / SNES :lol:

Most fun MC game Iv played to date was the old "Road Rash" series in the NES / SNES :lol: :willy: :withstupi I still play it.

So I played over the weekend and still completing the licenses but I found something that absolutely pissed me off. My son, who recently lost his game privileges due to bad behavior, was begging to tryout my new game. I figured what the hell, he hasn't played and it'd be nice to race heads up. Well we did and for some insane reason, the time splits kept flashing just prior to a turn. It was bad enough that it's a split screen but crashing because of obstructed view, :cursin: .

Yeah that time split thing makes things interesting, me and my brother were getting pissed about that.

If it lives up to it's Gran Turismo franchise, it will blow away GP. Still can't wait for GP for the 360. I need moto racing in HD! This game lives up to Gran Turismo and then some because it's got street bikes. I didn't realize they'd have old school bikes too. It's tough for a while, but with some work and license acquiring, it's incredibly addicting. :drool:

:welcome: to TWF I still haven't gotten addicted to it yet but its ridding season here and not gamming.

:welcome: to TWF I still haven't gotten addicted to it yet but its ridding season here and not gamming. I was addicted to this game for a week. Then I beat all the races and stopped playing. Haven't turned on my PS2 in awhile, went back to the comp gaming and XBox 360.

My son & I complained of this too. I couldn't figure out how to turn this time split off. Frustrating!!!!!

I'm still hooked, but then, I haven't beaten everything yet. Stupid exams, always getting in my way... On the upside, I found the website for the game, and it's got some cool stuff. Wallpapers, stills from the game, pretty sweet: http://www.us.playstation.com/Content/OGS/SCUS-97502/Site/

i havent been able to play it much. My son LOVES it and plays it way more than i do, doing wheelies and stoppies and occasionally turning. (Hes 3 & 1/2) fortunately i remember alot of the tracks from Gran Tourismo so the learning curve is kind to me.

Would you recomend it? Is it hard? Is it long? No pun intended... definitely difficult but the license courses actually make it a lot easier even though tidious sometimes. go to this messageboard (http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board?board.id=touristtrophy)too for some help. I'm still working on it, probably 65% through the game. tinkering with the brakes also helps you drift and make corners. ~cheers

He has already beaten this game.

Got all the licenses already. I'm two series away from finishing all the races. The bike challanges are what I gotta work on. It's hard as hell to get the TZ250 RM from Yamaha in three laps.

I think he was talking about the Godfather game. He has already beaten this game. Yes I was. I even got confused.

Thanks, but I bought it like 2 weeks ago (or whenever it came out). Got all the licenses already. I'm two series away from finishing all the races. The bike challanges are what I gotta work on. It's hard as hell to get the TZ250 RM from Yamaha in three laps. I had a ton of trouble getting that one when I first started playing the game. I thought it was just from learning the game, I didn't realize it was just that freakin hard to get that bike. It's sad the championship series is easier than getting a freakin 250.

Yeah, i tried like four times and the closest I could get was 2 seconds. I got bored so I got some other bikes and ran some races in hopes to get it as a prize bike, but no dice. I think I'm gonna pick up the Godfather game soon.

Finally got the TZ250 testerday after like 20 tries. It was real close too.

Wondering what you guys use for suspension. I started messing around with the dampers and found that by lowering just the front, it helps with your stability. You guys got any tips or know any other good sites to check out?
