Online is positively barren.
Aye.
The parks are so addicting. I just spent the last 3 hours getting as many parts as I could. About 9 left across both parks.
That feel when you have 2/3 parts on most of the cars
This game is gonna take about 15+ million to get everything, sheesh.

Nah, you'd need like 50m if you want all the gold skins!

My guess is this is not a big seller. I wouldn't doubt if it's at less than 10,000 sales so far only because I broke the top 100 in a few time trials and that's not usually like me.
A wait of 2-3 minutes in the lobby got me in games with 5 racers and 3 bots most of the time. Not horrible.

Probably a lot of people like me out there that can't pull themselves away from their Minecraft world to try this.

Game looks REALLY good btw.
Only wish there was a better camera for the stunt parks. Camera makes it difficult seeing trophys and car parts.

With so many games out there this really should have been free to play, a good way for microsoft to start the whole free stuff like they had planned the other year.
Online in this game will be dead in a matter of weeks.

Got all the trophies and hidden parts in the stunt parks =)
Some of them are really well hidden, but the hunt was a lot of fun. Just have to unlock all the cars now, which involves playing the final championship another ten or so times. It's painfully easy, which is lucky I guess!
The game does have its flaws, but it's still really good. Will happily buy new tracks/parks as DLC. It'd be nice if they patched in some new championships, just adding "pro championships" with no weapons would basically double the content really easily.

I had the sound down when I watched that I really liked how it looked. Then turned up the volume and Ryan and Jeff were pretty dismissive.. even bored by it. :\

Doesn't xbox live allow Paypal? Why not just use that instead of actually giving them your card.

Yeah, the last few weeks have been awesome for releases. Plus this is a franchise that got sacrificed to the kinect launch.
If you buy the gold colour for one car, it unlocks for all it's skins right?
The number might actually be closer to 8 or 9 million for everything.
Yeah I didn't know they accepted PayPal, but that's what I ended up doing.

Anyone know how to get the third avatar award?
I got the fits one by finishing a race first and I got some checked-flag-pants for buying a car; if my memory doesn't fail.
Cacti Cap - Win a race on every track to unlock this trendy piece of headwear.

Anyone know where the last Crimson Park part is?
Got 40/40 on Perilous Park, finally got one that's been bothering me in Crimson, but now I'm 39/40 and don't know what I'm missing. Anything particularly hard y'all remember?
EDIT: it's the Inception Speed car part too, the one I want most D:
EDIT2: Is there a car part up the big orange wall, besides the one on the ledge on the left o it? If so, I don't know what to use to get that high.
EDIT3: Yes there is, don't know how the hell I'm gonna get that high, but I got close enough to see it.

What cars you guys using for Stunt Park? Struggling to get some of the higher ones.
I managed most of it with the Dojo. Never gave me problems, but when I bought the Inception I started using that.

was extremely impressed by the demo. will buy it today I think.
I don't understand why this has bad online, from the demo it looked like it should be mario kart levels of fun.
The stunt park is a surprising addition and really really fun to play.

If you haven't got it yet: you have to use the speed pad, and then use the boost powerup, the blue one. Might take a couple of goes to land it. Inception helps, obviously!

Fucking fuck. Don't think I will ever find these last three parts... I bet they are all around the same area, as well. D:

If you invite people to your stunt park, will they see what you're missing or what they're missing? If it's the former, you could invite some people to help you look around.
This game is fun. Feels like a mix between the current kart racers and something like Outrun. Or something.
Like the different handling for the classes of cars, and the weapons work well (a lot of these games get bogged down with wonky ass weapons). Pretty polished overall. I like it...and there are FIBs!
Only downside is that I've yet to find a full lobby. Mostly just two or three people + bots.

Thanks a lot for the tip. 126/126
Hey cjelly, if you want to XBL it up I could try and show you places with some difficult ones.

Just gave the demo a try and have to agree with you guys. It's really a lot of fun! Plain, simple fun. I'll give it another try in local MP and then decide whether I'll buy it or not.

To help give this game more legs for those that bought it and enjoy it, has (or is) anyone gonna put together a GAF group so we can all race with each other?

I am happy to report this game works great with the MS wireless racing wheel. Yeah I think I'm going to buy it.

Kinda sucks how Microsoft just released this with no fan fare at all. Game is really good and needs more attention.
