Alright ppl, bought Auto Modellista for GameCube (Cel shaded racer) cuz there are not many good driving games on GC, and I must say i was DAMN impressed, It has FB's and FC's and FD's from the get go! Border and RE body kits and wings and such, name brand turbo's and tires and shocks (tho only 3 brands for shocks: Ohlins, Bilstein, and Tein) and the game is good, circuit races, downhill and uphill drift races, and if that wasn't good enuff, u can drive a Mazda 6 (ho-hum) and a Cosmo21 (old school Cosmo body with a Renesis ) and the RX-8 (bleh)....has old Fairlady Z's in it as well as the 350z and 280ZTT, LOTS OF CARS!!!! go buy it on whatever system you have and play play play!!!! lots of old school and new school cars, very nice, even little econo boxes to turbo and race

o yeah, and there are some domestics too...like the Le Mans C5 Corvette....

 

too bad its not out for the pc.... or is it?

 

yeah its pretty good on PS2 also. the thing is, cant u fix up your cars without winning any races already. i dont own, ive only played it

 

you start out with some basic upgrades, but you can't tune engine only change turbine wheel if the car was originally turbo, in other words you start with 297 hp and change out stock turbo for a 308hp turbo that comes on later in the rpm's..after you win races you get chip and engine tune ups that jump up the power a lot, o and weight reductions and body kits are won also...but you start with 1 body kit for every car and all tires shocks etc......don't pay anything for any of it, you just have to win most stuff, you get a 30 car garage too, so you have limited space, i think there are like 50+ cars at least, and you get to decorate yer garage with posters and props and stuff VERY good game, and I am not sure if there is a PC version planned, i dun think so, but i could be wrong no one thought there'd be a GC version...

Also, forgot, Once you win a bit, you unlock a option called Auto Modellista Shop, which is a engine swap shop, so you can throw in an FD motor in an FB etc. etc. in only works with the same manafacturer tho and won't help if you have a RWD motored car and are tryin to throw it in a FWD..also you can't tune it once it's in...but it's good fun to get a little honda econo box and throw in a ITR engine!!!

I liked the idea, just not the gameplay.



the handling was too annoying to be fun.

 

pretty fun game, the way the cars handle is a little funky at first.

 

i think its one of the worse racing games produced

 

It was fun for the 4 hours i had it up to i beat the game and dropped a 3 rotor in my FB i couldnt mod.

 

I dunno I thought it was kinda fun..
