Graphics are improved, but that's about it. Defensive AI is horrible. Out-of-bounds possession rule isn't followed in some cases. Goalies are lousy. Players sometimes don't catch wide-open passes, which never happens in reality.
The developer posted on the game's Facebook page that a patch with improvements is coming soon. Good. This game needs a total overhaul. It doesn't feel like outdoor lax at all.
Stick to College Lacrosse 2011. Feels and plays much more like the real game.
Yeah, not a good effort but I thought it was a different programming team again, which is like their 3rd developer or so. I think the NLL lacrosse game from last year was the best one out of all of them so far...Stir Fry games took the lead on that one. Regardless I love Carlo Sunseri's dedication to get these Lacrosse games out there for the LAX crowd. It would be nice if a big studio would get behind him.
Maybe this has been mentioned before, I couldn't find it in the search, but have any of you guys tried Magic Racing GP2 in the Indie games? Its a super fun top down racer that has both karts and F1 cars, plus a ton of real world tracks. Only 80 points, and worth much more than that. The tracks look great, and there is changing weather, fuel usage, tire wear and types, pit stops, damage; and it's all adjustable. The dude must have put a ton of time and effort into this thing. Great little game and you just can't beat the price.

That's a great little game. The karts are way easier to drive than the F1's, but damn, the track list is impressive, and the layouts are very well done. Driving in the rain is a hoot.

Been playing this one for a couple of weeks and it's a lot of fun, absolutely. One thing that does strike me playing the F1 portion of the game is that it bears more than a passing resemblance to the indie PC game New Star Grand Prix, which I enjoyed so much I was moved to write a review of it a couple of years ago. Pretty much everything about it, right down to the start procedure and the "Accelerate when the lights go out!" message, seems to have been inspired by NSGP in some way. It doesn't worry me unduly, since NSGP is all kinds of wonderful, but it did make me wonder whether Magic Racing GP2's creator might have taken a fair number of cues from somewhere.
It really is a cool little game, and you can tell that the guy who designed it was a huge F1 fan. It has a ton of options, so you can design the races to run as you want. Plus I am a track whore, so having all of these tracks available is just a hoot (I still love the Indy track, even though I'm glad the Mickey Mouse turns are gone). I've only been running quick races so far (with weather, required tire changes and pit stops!) but will jump into a season soon.
If you are a F1 fan you just can't go wrong with it, especially since it costs a buck. (Or is that a quid? Sorry Adam!)
I just jumped into a time attack and was pleasantly surprised. It reminds me a lot of Super Sprint in the arcade back in the day, without the power slides and spinning of the steering wheel lol
