De4th Strike said:The cobretti GTS is THE car to use online and offline the handling - speed ratio is awesome and correcting yourself from shockwaves is easy.
i slaughtered every single race once i started using this car
Made it the easiest platinum i have gotten yet
I went online and ranked from 99 to 1 in less then 2 hours often finishing over 10 secs ahead of the pack while everyone else used the top tier cars
think i won like 10 races in a row at one point.
once you finish the game and go online you'll know every track like the back of your hand and you'll soon see the GTS is the best car in the game and its not even a top rank car.
Game was far too easy and im usually pretty poor at racing games. Still.. loved it though and can't wait for a sequel

I know I'm way LTTP but I just got Split/Second through Gamefly and looked up the OT to pretty much make the same comments. I managed to get 1st place in every single event in Pure but I'm halfway through the Season of Split/Second and considering giving up and sending it back.Diablohead said:So, after having a copy of Split Second 360 sat on my shelf over the christmas period due to lack of time to play games, I dipped in the other night, and last night, and today... game is great! I love how they make it feel like a TV show and the action is done brilliantly, every explosion has a feeling of power and size to it and is more then just a transparent alpha explosion graphic, these things look deadly.
I am about 1/3 through the single player races and the only single thing which ruins the game for me is the terrible rubber band AI which feels just as bad as mario kart, you can be in the same car and exit the corner better then the AI to see him pass you 10MHP faster for no reason what so ever, it's frustrating to no ends... but the game is good enough to let me ignore that fact where possible and have a great time racing and dodging blowing up buildings.
Love the helicopter air strike races, love the truck dodging, love the time attack challenges with pre-set action sequences, love when music stops a second before a big explosion or event like the crashing jet plane or cruiser boat crash, love it all!... apart from the fucking cheating AI.

On top of the ridiculous AI (which is way worse than Pure...) either the car handling in this game is complete ass or I just can't figure out the drifting mechanic. No matter what car I choose when I drift I end up hitting a wall or oversteering all over the place 80% of the time.
I'm also deeply disappointed by the severe lack of variety in this game. It's front loaded with content to an insane degree and it really grinds me gears that every single track in the damn game is in a City/Industrial setting. Are you kidding me?! It's a game centered around cinematic, on-the-edge driving and there's no mountain pass, jungle, canyon, etc? The least they could have done is vary up the city setting but no, the whole game looks like it takes place within 10 blocks of each other.
Yeesh. What a raging disappointment. It's truly a shame because the graphics, sound design and concept are all rock solid but the execution is a complete mess.
IIRC, turn and tap brakes while using gas to drift. Temporarily lay off the gas and straighten out to stop the drift.TheEastonator said:and how the hell do you drift effectively in this game?
