How's the activity here vs. FM5? I got both for Xmas so I finally bought a 'bone over the weekend. I have a ControllerMAX on order with the hopes of making my CSR wheel useful, but I'm playing gamepad for now so I'm hoping FH2 is where more of the action is since that's a lot less dependent on the wheel.

You're probably going to be disappointed with the controller max. I have one and tried it and it's not very good. It just emulates a stick so it's super non linear. You might be able to dial it out somewhat Wii uh the fanatec settings but I gave up on it pretty quickly

That's what I'm expecting, but it seems like a nifty device one way or another so if it doesn't work out for the wheel it won't feel like a total waste.

I just did the Finale so I'll finally be getting online, attacking rivals times, and the like.

Just finished the F&F stuff. Kinda wish it was set up as a DLC rather than a standalone so I could have the unique cars in the full game and modify them rather than just in the limited area and configurations of the special title. There's probably some lawyer-related reasoning behind that. It would also be nice if it would see that I already own the full game, expansion, car pack, and VIP so there's no point in trying to advertise to me.

I can't really complain though, $free is a fine price for what basically amounts to a lightly themed and heavily condensed version of FH2. I don't know what the demo was like, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is a lot better of a demo than the real demo was.

They're all bad.


They're bad in a good way though. Don't see them looking for cinema genius and don't think too hard about the driving, just turn your brain off and enjoy the craziness.

I always thought they missed an opportunity to have some sort of test track leaderboard where it could display your top times with stock or modified cars regardless of class, like on the show.

Agreed. I have a leaderboard at my house posted over the racing seat that's basically this, we have categories for the Liana, Cee'd, and the "house car" which varies from time to time (currently an A600 tuned Miura). It would have been so nice to have the game support keeping track of this automatically for more than just the Cee'd in the Rivals challenge.

Welp, guess there weren't lawyer reasons as much as accountant reasons...

I was kind of hoping for a '91 928. H982 FKL plates everywhere.

Oh well, at least I can build an awesome rally 959 or put poo poo tires on a CGT and do my best Roger Rodas impression. Here's hoping at least the 959, CGT, and 918 motors are available for swaps in to the rest of the lineup.
