About the whole overpowered bikes and underpowered planes thing....

S0L has mentioned that flying vehicles aren't negatively affected by terrain that would slow the other cars down. So you can take little shortcuts I guess.

Apparently if you are using a flying vehicle, if you pull the control stick back while in the air, you get more height.

And finally, bikes have a lower top speed, which is supposed to be their "weakness".

Or maybe Shadow IS the best character. I dunno, I don't have the game yet. :P

So flying characters are for retards who cannot stay on the track? That is not an ability, that is a Nintendo-handicap system. Only a moron would benefit from this in a practical situation.

All racers should be good on all the tracks.

That is not useful enough to justify the other issues.

But if you keep boosting and pass everyone in the start, why does that matter?

Keep in mind that what I am saying applies to online mostly and that mode has no All-star moves for people/critters/'whatever Opa-Opa is' in the back.

That might be a problem.

While I agree the choices for the game are okay to shockingly appalling (seriously, fuck off with Billy), a lot of missed opportunities and just plain stupid (no idea how they even made a race course based on Samba De Amigo, let alone thee of them), the game is just a lot of fun. There are not many racing games I can stomach as long as I have played this one, it is really to the point where it is easily one of my favorites in the genre. I still like SEGA Rally Championship, Crash Team Racing more, and style wise Power Drift and Virtua Racing will always be my favorites.

While Shadow is clearly overpowered, Kogen just sucks at the game. I played against him with all of the flying characters and completely crushed him, so he is just not very good at the game.

Everyone I see complaining about it just wants more or other content, and I can agree and see why they would want this, but in the end, it is just a really fun and enjoyable game. Would you buy it if it was a rancid piece of shit but had better character and track selections? It is sounding like that honestly.

My favourite character is Alex Kidd... just from the design of the character/bike... had no idea he was supposed to be overpowered.

I must be pretty crap as I usually come in the 5th - 3rd position out of 8. Winning is pretty rare online.

No, that's just you putting words into people's mouths :lol:

Unless you are talking about Kogen, than it's all fair game.

I beat 8 players online in a 9 lap race as the Bonanza Bros. Other players chose Shadow, Ryo and Alex Kidd. Showed those bikers what for!

Wii. Online. Why does it take people half an hour to choose a character? no exaggeration, I went off and watched some tv for a while, half an hour later, the guy still hasn't picked. What with this and game hosts quiting half a lap in and returning everyone else to the lobby I've spent more time waiting for a race online than i have racing. Really needs a "shit or get off the pot" timer. If you can't pick a character in 30 seconds have one randomly assigned to you. Would that have been so hard?

Other than that the only niggle i can think of is the downhill right/left chicance at detritus desert after the wooden bridge. I keep clipping the invisible wall on the right turn. Gameplay's pretty much rock solid apart from that.

Would you buy Valkyria Chronicles if it was a rancid piece of shit but featured different character designs? It is sounding like that honestly.

I think you guys are missing my point. I'm sure the game is a fun Mario Kart pastische, but seeing as I don't like 90% of the characters, tracks and music I don't really want to buy it. I also have a shit-ton of other games out/coming soon that I want to play as well. I don't understand why everyone is getting so defensive about the game.

Still loving this game. I'm just 5 tracks away from having them all. It's so fun to play online with others. I wish Sega Superstars Tennis was this populated online. :(

Okay, I've decided to at least try the demo out.

I'll report back here when I'm done!

1GB is a lot when you live in Australia and have download limits, and you don't really want to play the game anyway. And it's not rape if we are both into it, sweetheart.

I think you guys are missing my point. I'm sure Aliens vs Predator is a fun Halo pastische, but seeing as I don't like 90% of the characters, tracks and music I don't really want to give it a shot period. I also have a shit-ton of other games out/coming soon that I want to play as well so this excuses me from trying the demo at least once. I don't understand why everyone is getting so defensive about the game when it is obviously totally like the game I mentioned because I can see similar characteristics from trailers.

When are we going to have one of those Tournaments again. I'm ready to race you all this time.

I also bet no one can outdo me in Curien Mansion's Deadly Route.
