Grand Prix Rock 'N Racing


Recommended Posts

I guess Sony haven't activated the list on their servers yet. The same applies to at least one other game: The Bluecoats: North vs. South:

The list isn't on the PSN, but the Xbox Achievements are available:

Oh and seems like the Xbox Achievements for this games (Grand Prix Rock 'N Racing) aren't up yet, too.
And it seems like it's an below-average game:

EDIT: Super Excellent! This game is not.

 

What I like about this game is the fact that it proves that even on PSN the star-ratings for bad games can be lower than 3 stars average:

(disclaimer: on EU-store it has 19 ratings and an average of 2, TWO (!!!) stars, US may see another rating).

Strange that a game about the American Civil War is only available in EU...Also didn't realize there are still PSN games coming out exclusive to PS3. 

 

Anyway, I like playing bad games, especially bad racing games. I find a strange joy in dissecting these and trying to enjoy them while not expecting much. I loaded up my EU account to download this. I'd say its not quite as bad as I expected it to be, its more in the vein of being a very frustrating game to play. Why do the cars get off the line so dang slowly? Why do cars get in massive pileups on the very first turn, every time (if you don't survive this, you might as well restart the race). Why do cars just appear stalled in the middle of the track, almost as if to be there just to impede your progress and cause you to crash/lose your lead? You can survive crashes and contact with cars (50/50 proposition), but any touch of the wall is impossible to negotiate/recover quickly. Why when my tires are upgraded to the max, is my car more slippy and likely to spin out (better to race with a poor tire rating). 

 

I will say that once you get a few upgrades, navigating the game is a little bit more enjoyable. I have no idea how you obtain the "win championship in first season" trophy, the car they start you with is so freaking awful, I couldn't finish in the Top 10 until the last two races of the series...

You should check out Anarchy: Rush Hour if you're into bad racing games.

OK guys.

Just having an issue with the multiplayer trophy.

I've read a guide on how to do this.

But I'm confused about how to change players to join in.

Do I require 4 PSN accounts or something ?

 

I just feel like I'm missing something to get this.

 

*edit*

For anyone having trouble with this like I did.

I have finally worked this out.

- If you only have 1 PSN account, create another 3 guest accounts.

- Enter the game with your main account

- join the game as player 1, then switch to guest user 1

- Go into the game and join as player 2.

- Rinse and repeat for the other 2 guests accounts.

- Go back to your main account, select the track and start the race.

- The trophy should then pop
