A noticed a few of you playing online tonight and was wondering how the online play was. I'm really on the fence about buying the game and some good online play would pretty much seal the deal for me.

HT has been one of my favorite Live purchases in some time, Jason.
We had a room last night that had 4-5 folks in it, and I thought it played great! Most of the time the group was fairly close to one another, and there were many, many close finishes that didn't seem forced by obvious catch-up. (Though it is there) One in particular I remember was when the entire group of five finished with less than one second separating first from fifth! It runs very smoothly, and even the relative newcomers were able to compete very well with folks who had put in more time. It's a fun, not-so-serious good time! |

Sounds good. I don't think I'll make it through the weekend without buying this. Does anyone know how many tracks there are?

Eight tracks I believe, with a DLC pack with more scheduled down the road. Paid DLC, I'm assuming.

Yep, 8 tracks now, and the developers confirmed DLC that is 'not too far off' in an interview. Expect a pack that contains new tracks and boats...last rumor I heard stated 2 of each.

8 tracks with the possibly of more via DLC is good for me.

Post when you grab it, J! I really can't recommend it enough as I have been enjoying the heck out of it. First time I re-dressed my avatar for a game, too!

Cool, glad you like it!
Beat some of my times to give me something to shoot for, and we'll have to hook up online with it too! |
