Well I just bought the game yesterday and it is sooooo extremely wicked!!!!! The graphics are at top notch, as well as the in game effects like the rain drops on the camera lens slidin off. The tracks are good as well, i especially liked the one where u jump off a big mountain into the water (u feel as if your flying). The best about the game is the sense of speed, even if your in novice mode you still feel like your going 300 mph. I just can't wait to unlock the ultimate level "Redshift"!!!!!!!!!!!!!. This game has got not too good reviews on some top xbox sites, i really thing the reviewers should play the game more and give it another rating, in my perspective i give the game a 9/10 only that it lacks the xboxl live capability. This game is a definite buy!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool:

Just rented it today, and I gotta agree it's looking quite good so far. Graphics are amazing, but I do have a few gripes about them. First, you can see the drivers in their ****pits, but they look really awkward (like little toys). Plus the water-bead effects can get really annoying at times. It is cool after you've gone into a lake or something. But on Yuri's level, it's constantly raining, and it's friggin' hard to see.

Gameplay I've experienced so far is flawless. I've been playing through on Novice so far, learning the ropes, building up my characters. There's a strategy aspect, too. You need to hang back a little and fight the other racers to pad your final score (you get more points by fighting).
By the way, does the right-thumbstick do anything? There isn't a conrol layout in the options screen and I was curious.

My favorite thing, though, is that the characters speak their native languanges: Americans speak English, Austrian characters speak German, Russian characters speak Russian, etc. Moreover, the starting light is also in the appropriate country's language. It's really, very sweet.

I got this game yesterday. I've only completed the first three tracks, but so far I love it. You get a real sense of speed. My right hand was really cramping up using the controller-S, however. I'm going to try the standard controller next time.

Can you turn off the weapons and win because of your driving skills?

You have to unlock a no-weapons Easter Egg first, but yes you can do that.

I don really think the right thumbstick does anything, i've tried it during racing but does nothin. I'm on the expert level and i've unlocked all the characters nemesis, but there is one hidden character and his nemesis, and two hidden tracks tha i have no idea to unlock, i'm tryin to beat the expert level with Tara to unlock the redshift level, i'm just tryin to figure out how to unlock the secret character and secret track!

If you put your cursor on (or highlight) the track you want to open, or the character you want to unlock, then the game will tell you how to do it. It will be displayed in text at the bottom of the screen. I believe you've got to complete Master level with everyone to unlock Redshift and Master with the original characters to unlock the course you're talking about...but double-check it by doing what I described above.

Yeah arvin your right i unlocked the secret stage already and i'm workin to unlock Da Bekill and his nemesis, his nemesis looks really cool it's this guy who looks like ice man from x-men, when the game starts and u see the opening movie you'll see him in one of the scenes, he looks really awesome, anyway i'm workin on beatin master mode with everyone. I've already beat it with Tara to unlock Draco island (very wicked stage!!!!). :D

Ive been lookin at this game for awhile, and reading everyones oppinions on it. Only gripes ive seen is the lack of tracks?

Im probably going to rent this game next weekend (thanksgiving weekend for us canadians), to keep me busy, and away from the relatives. lol

What kind of replay value is there? How well does the difficulty progress? Is it actually worth buying? or am i going to have it beat in a day?

Whatever info will be appriciated ;)

I bought it, but looking back, I'd say it would be worth buying for about $30, maybe $35, but not $50. Replay value? Depends on how much you like going fast, faster, and even faster along the same track, with the opponents increasingly challenging. Depends how much you like racers in general. For me, there's not a lot of replay value -- I pop it in now and again, play for 10 or 15 minutes, then put it away for a week or so.

Yeah the game can get on your last nerve, i've been playin the game on the master level, i don know if i'm crap or what but it would take hours to beat one stage on the master level and by that time i'd be sooo stressed out! it just seems like the other racers are going 100 mph faster than you are, the only way to go faster than them is to use your turbo. I can say the replay value is alright, Arven gave it a good say, trus me this is not a game for people who don't want to a challenge ( unless i really suck ):D

I believe this game is just the right difficulty. It isn't an easy win, but it isn't impossible either. It keeps me coming back for more day after day.

I like the variety of tracks. I don't know how many you consider sufficient, but I am satisfied. There aren't as many tracks as RSC, but the QR tracks are like giant playgrounds with a lot of variety and imagination.

This game has a lot of replay value for me. I can't wait to try multiplayer.

Quantom Redshift is awsome I beat the whole game and it gives you a new track which is awsome I think this is the 2nd best racing game on Xbox!!!!:cool: :) :D :eek: :cool: :cool:

I got it for 8 bucks the other day. :) (traded in 2 games)


Anyway, i think its great. I beat it with every pilot on the second difficulty, but the second character's ship sucks big hairy balls, so its extremely hard to win the race on the jap track...

Anyway, I put in the cheat codes and the 2 guys that you get to unlock have bad ships also, and the Drago Island track I dont like...the other one is ok, but not my style, so I really dont care if I unlock those.

I felt that Quantum Redshift was one of the most underrated videogames. I gave QR third place for Xbox game of the year on my website. Blinx got first and GV got second.

I'm not as far as you EHWfedPres in QR, it's just that I don't have as much free time as you.

I dfont care about bad words, its only a word. Shyt is no different than poop or crap or turds or dung, its only a word...and one word cannot be totally wrong if all its synonyms are perfectly fine...it makes no sence...

Anyway, I do have alot of free time...but I got that far in one sitting...one 5 hour long sitting. ;)

I use the fudge instead of you know what. I use darn instead of d**n.

I don't plan on playing QR quickly because I play my games at a very slow pace.:D
