So this is really for the people of the forum that like racing games, and for those who don't, this game might even change your perception of them, it really is brilliant. Ive played racing games for as long as i can remember, the latest apart from LFS being Test Drive Unlimited. I thought TDU was the best thing since sliced bread but this really blew it out of the water.

I was recommended it buy many people who said (with a wheel, which i still don't have but am in the process of purchasing) that it would improve your race craft and ability, a real substitute for time in the seat due to its realism (i race karts). So i tried it out and that seems to be the case, but i will have to wait for a wheel, but even if you don't that's OK, its still fun as hell if not a little harder.

Anyway, ill stop raving on about it. Here's a link to the demo:

http://www.lfs.net/?page=downloads

and just click a link that's relative to you.

The thing is, if you wish to buy an S2 license, threes no disk, just the account that you bought the license with and you login with that through the demo giving you access to all of its features.

The people who make it are not a big company, only three dedicated people, who work hard on this project to make it the most realistic racing sim there is.

give it a go i suppose.

I know. Ok, here's me. I'm not going to download but I can still make a constructive comment:

"Cool, it looks good +1 for the find. I can't be bothered to download it atm but I'll give it a go tomorrow maybe. Anyone download it, is it any good?"

Wow, I even amaze myself sometimes.. Seriously, if you have nothing to contribute to a thread, just don't post.

Ive played it, and it amazing, but if your like me, and not a huge fan of very realstic driving game you wont have as much fun. The game has a learning curve, and it helps to know a thing or two about cars, but not nesscary. Its fun for me to screw around in, but I wouldnt buy it personally.

Play it all the time great racing sim! So much more about the racing that GT. GT is more fun with custimizing your car and less time on a track.

It is a cool game. I've got the Logitech g25 wheel, and with the 900 degs rotation, it's wicked. That game is not only amazingly realistic, but it's easy to run, lots of great features and good value. I give it 5/5.

p.s. it's not worth it if you don't have a wheel. Trust me.

Funny, about the G25... I have had one a while too. I still play LFS all the time and visit their forums as well. They always laugh at G25 owners that are compelled to tell the world they own a G25. It really does make any driving game much better its just strange that an owner of the G must tell every one they have one. I guess after the money that we threw down and the + in fun it gives you... well you must tell it on the soap box.

I not sure what your point is? Is it a bad thing to share my insight with others that are also interested in LFS? They might come back and read this old thread just i did.

BF2S Forums [Live For Speed] What a game.
