Description

Lotus Challenge isn't about simply driving fast--to be part of Team Lotus you need to have style, panache, and skill. The game has a strong story which sees you performing a number of astounding driving feats, ranging from jumping through trains on the set of a Hollywood blockbuster to chauffeuring a pregnant woman to the hospital before she delivers!

Lotus Challenge contains environments realistically re-created from real-world locations. From the dusky streets of London to the neon-lit highways of Tokyo, the tracks will put you to the ultimate test. Players can get insider information on the best way to tackle these courses from the official Lotus test drivers themselves in the exclusive "tracks" section of the game.

More a simulator than an arcade game - Thank Goodness!

This is a great game suitable for grown-up players. Arcade style driving habits can get you in trouble here. This game rewards players who follow the correct line through turns and finely balance acceleration/braking to turn rate. The game punishes pedal-to-the-metal driving. Other cars can get a bit rude, too, and passing a car on an oval track at 180mph will take some planning. Car damage, while not amazing as in some Rally games, does occur and does affect your car's performance.

Speed and handling of the different cars is great. The physics of the game are terrific. When you get going really fast, it feels like it! Control is more challenging at 160mph than at 60mph.

The optional steering system allows the player to make very fine adjustments to the car's steering wheel, allowing for the fine control lost in most car games. This may explain how the rest of the physics can be so accurate - the developers did not need to compensate for players having only straight and locked steering positions.

If you want to simulate driving a variety of race cars from the late 1950s to the early 21st century, on a variety of tracks, with occassionally cheek fellow drivers, this is the game for you!

I love MOST of it!!

I've had this game for about 2 weeks now and I really enjoy the graphics along with the cars and the different modes of play that you can choose from (Challenge Mode, Stunt Mode etc.)
However I've been having a difficult time getting used to the steering method that is recommended to use - (the upper-half *only* of the right thumbstick.) This can become hard to control because you have to find the perfect place on the thumbstick that makes you turn as sharp as pressing the directional pad. But, I'm thinking about purchasing the Lotus Racing Wheel by GAMESTER USA it sounds like it would help a lot!
All in all a great game!!

Best game in a while

I just bought this game, and I'm already addicted. The graphics on it are so much better than the other racing games I've been playing lately.. the different styles of lotus cars rocks. the soundtrack fits the game. I give this game a A+++

Awesome!

I recently saw this game at my friends house, and I must say that the graphics are really good looking. The reflections on the cars are almost life like! The variations of the Lotus cars and the added Indy cars makes the game really fun. I think this one is a keeper..
