    It might be possible in the coming months to find a realistic racing game that is more fun, there will certainly be more approachable racers before the end of the year. If you want unapologetic realism and inclusive simulation then Supercar Challenge is the only game you should be considering.

    SuperCar Challenge is a pretty good title and is very realistic. It also has a lot of options, which is perfect for the fans. A good game, but not good enough to beat the other race games this year.

    Not terrible, but not as good as racers like GT Prologue. [Oct 2009, p.82]

    System 3's last effort for PS3 is a very difficult game, dedicated to the purists of the genre, which unfortunately does not offer a technical implementation to match the current standards but has plenty of cars and modes.

    It would have been better if developer Eutechnyx continued developing SuperCar Challenge for say half a year, to bring the game in 2010. Because now the game just can't compete with other good racing titles.

    In SuperCar's relentless pursuit of simulation, it's neglected to capture the exhilarating speed-driven fantasy of driving - its sex appeal, if you will. [Oct 2009, p.126]

    This game has not only managed to embarrass the whole genre, it has also killed several hours of my life that I will never ever get back.

    The handling of the best cars - the ones equipped with racing tires - is superb, exhilirating, on tracks like Spa, Monza and Riviera (= bitsThe handling of the best cars - the ones equipped with racing tires - is superb, exhilirating, on tracks like Spa, Monza and Riviera (= bits of Monaco). Definitely one for a decent steering wheel. The driving experience is far better than anything in GT Prologue. Supercars without racing tires are a handful, admittedly. You have to be very patient with the AI. Oddly, it's usually easier to beat the AI in the wet - and there's an awful lot of wet racing, at higher skill levels.… Expand

Surely there are games with more variaty but there is no game which feels so real.

And I do.
    I'm a racing sim fan so I enjoy racing sims (derrr) and this game has the best car handling I've ever experienced.
    The career mode is RUBBISH -- years behind the competition but the engine sounds, handling and the fact that the cars are all so different is cutting edge.
    And sure you might wonder why I give it 9 if I say the career mode is rubbish but I don't even play career mode. All I do is practice in Time Trial and then take it to the 16-player online -- that's where it's at!
    The people who give this 5 and 6 out of 10 are clueless. You don't slam a flight sim or a train sim for being boring and too realistic so you shouldn't slam this game for doing the same. It's made for people who love nothing more than racing with a G25 wheel and pedals, and for us it's nearly perfect.    … Expand

Muchos y largos tiempos de carga. Quizás le falto un puñado mas carros que escoger. pero el soundtrack es magnifico imaginen la pantalla principal suena Carmina Burana! épico. recomendado… Expand
