Not sure if this is in the right section.



The game is this: http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStati...0&searchstring=tour+de+france&urlrefer=search



Has anybody else got this game? What do you think of it?



I had the old one which was for PS2, and it was absolutely impossible! Looking at this one though it seems to (visually) be very good.



A couple of things i'm a little dissapointed with so far though, the flat sections are very boring, you can just literally sit in the bunch and not even press any buttons to be carried along unless they start proper moving.

Also some of these flat sections end in a sprint section. Because there are only highlights there are the sprints then almost immediately you come to the end of a section and it is auto-played to the enxt one. If a couple of sprinters get enough speed up and a little gap infront of the peloton then the game sometimes treats it as a breakaway!

You also pick a team (of 6 wtf?) not a single rider, so at the start of each stage you pick which rider in the team you want to be. I think this is so you can pick a sprinter on the flat and a climber on a mountain stage but for some reason this annoyed me.

Furthermore in the very first stage as Andy Schleck I got caught out in split peloton, and I asked all riders to come and help me - they all said no! I mean come on i'm the team leader everyone apart from say Frank should have come and helped me get back into the bunch shouldn't they?



So yeah i'm a little underwhelmed so far but i'll stick at it. What about you lot?

I've been holding off buying it until I saw some reviews, but there's very few about. The best I could come across was this forum.

I think now I'll wait until the price comes down - then I won't feel guilty about playing a cycling game indoors while it's sunny outside!
