Great review. If you're interested in technically competent racing games with, uh, unique handling characteristics, besides 'Auto Modelista', then seek out 'Driving Emotion Type S' by SquareSoft. Made for PS2, it was Square's last racing game. It's also unique in that it's a CD-ROM game instead of DVD-ROM, so you'll have BIN + CUE files instead of an ISO; and it doesn't take up very much storage space either. Unfortunately, it has very weak self centering in the steering. I think it was made for a sim racing wheel. You can get used to it on a controller by making use of your brakes before was turn and counter steering after you clear the apex...
@Channel2SАй бұрын
It sounds like you're playing the US version of Auto Modelista. There are basically 2 different versions of the game: the original release that came out in Japan and Europe, and an "improved" version that was made for the US and released in Japan as the "US Tuned" edition. The US revision controls horribly, and is not the version of the game people are usually talking about when they praise it. Try and get ahold of the EU copy (PS2 only, unfortunately), and you'll probably like it much more.
