    go buy it, theres going to be a hexus league/tourny starting soon and the more people we get on board the better it will be. its a very competent game that becomes bloody amazing when you go online.. simple as that
    I agree, especially about the horny rhino. Also need to make full use of the analogue functions, ie not full power all the time, or slamming on the acclerator.

    Sorry had the company do the night before so was not really into staying on for long so thought it best not to hang around, will be on later.

    I notice there are some joinable sessions now, which weren't about when it was first released. Thats good news.

    I had the same problem with "trying too hard". I'd say this is probably the first 360 game I've played where you really have to use the analogue feature of the trigger buttons. Takes some getting used to!

    Can I suggest the we have damage fully on, there are far too many drivers out there who rather than overtaking, just bash you out the way. Not saying Hexusites do it but would be nice to know any joiners don't.

    Won't be on tonight, I'm off to a fashion show at Reading Uni, a friend is doing it. Should be fun.
