posted by: Jure Zagoricnik You'd expect gameplay in a racing game to be fast paced, exciting, and a lot of fun, this coming from someone who was drawn into the world of PC gaming from the thrill of racing games. FIM Speedway Grand Prix is a horrible showing, static and pathetic character movements, horribly frustrating tendencies, and something that really makes the genre look like a joke. For shame Big City Games, for releasing a title so poor in one of its core departments, that it should have been thrown aside and scrapped a long time ago. link : https://www.gamingexcellence.com/pc/games/00137/

Ouch! I saw this game in the store the other day, only $15. I almost picked it up, but i decided to read some more about it... But this review really puts me off! One of the worst reviews of a game i've ever read Is it really THAT bad!?? Thomas.

Did you read our review? It was reviewed by a real speedway driver. _________________ Jure Zagoricnik Blackhole Motorsports https://bhms.racesimcentral.net https://www.3dg.si

Ah...No i didn't I also see there's a demo! LOL Tony Richardsson. I remember him, i watched Speedway quite a bit back then. Great to see him do a review! I had a friend competing in speedway in the early eighties (not in the big leagues) and i even tried his bike once (after MANY lectures about taking it easy!) LOL it must have been a sight. Was the hardest thing i ever done i believe. Since i had some time on motocross bikes i imagined i atleast could do a half-decent lap...Haha, not a chance! I wobbled around the corner, didn't dare go fast enough/put on enough throttle to slide through the corner. My friend just yelled at me: "Just put your foot out, and give some gas going in the corner". "More gas"! "MORE GAS!". LOL Speedway riders have my respect! Well, that review was better than the one at gamingexcellence. But it didn't seem he was thrilled about the game either. I'll get the demo first, and make my own opinion, maybe it's worth thoose 15 after all? Thanks for the heads up Jure! Thomas.
