<BR>Agreed, 100 percent. Between the cars, <b>long</b> courses -- hell, it took me 12 minutes to complete a two-lap race last night -- excellent driving model and adjustable AI, this game is a definite keeper.

World Racing Initial, and superficial, impressions..
I´m with you 100 percent on the menus. Quite possibly the most confusing interface I´ve seen in any videogame, period. <BR> <BR>All of your other points are spot-on. <BR> <BR>So far, I´m very encouraged by the physics model. It seems to simulate weight transfer very well, even at the default 50/50 s...

All Star Baseball Review
Jason: <BR> <BR>I hear ya, man. I´m not one to complain about complexity in games, as I like a challenge. <BR> <BR>But maybe my reflexes have eroded at age 37, because there´s almost zero time to react to pitches in ASB. I know that´s the most accurate simulation of reality, but it´s not much fun un...

IGN review gives WSB2K3 (XBOX) a 9.1
Damn it, WSB is the only one of the four baseball games out now for the Xbox that I haven´t tried. <BR> <BR>I felt the same way as many about ASB. Just didn´t want to play multiple games. High Heat was realistic but drier than a popcorn fart. MVP was a huge jump in realism and quality from EA with a...

My High Heat 2004 (Xbox) first impressions
Jason: <BR> <BR>The animations were fine. I might enjoy the game if the ballparks were better, too. <BR> <BR>But I´m also really tiring of HH´s loopy pitching mechanics. After playing MVP, I now can how baseball pitching SHOULD be handled in a game. Overhand curve balls should not look like the Apol...

<BR>Thanks for the post.
<BR>
<BR>Have you played High Heat 2004, too? How does it compare to WSB?
<BR>
<BR>My baseball choices probably are down to those two, as I didn´t like ASB and MVP appears too arcadish from what I´ve read.

Rodster: <BR> <BR>I have high hopes for WSB, too, as its bloated strike zone was the only thing that prevented it from being a really solid title last year. <BR> <BR>But be wary of any reviews by IGN.
