Score Updated... I could definitely see myself cracking 300k with a little more practice. Overall I would say this game is pretty awesome, I guess the only thing that held it back was the whole no 2 player thing. I guess this is where Nintendo got its inspiration for Mario Kart too...

Almost forgot... a Vex where you at brotha! If you ain't first your last! You should practice some more, maybe with a live cougar in your room while playing RC Pro AM blindfolded!

Well I'm finally starting to get the hang of this game and I'm getting good scores on a regular basis. I may not be quite as good as my competition but considering where I was at earlier in the week I'm pretty happy with how I'm playing now. I'll try a few more times and post my score tomorrow.

Whew... managed to loop it. That last race is quite the endurance run.

Made it 4 levels into the second cycle, so Stage 28.
The guys just got too fast and all ran away from me at once.
On a two lap race there was just no getting it back.

Also, I strongly suspect that the enemy upgrade mechanic is almost entirely based on how many times that specific car has been killed by you.  And it is cumulative across the entire game.

Basically to REALLY rock the game (like making it through two cycles, if that is even possible) you probably can't EVER attack the enemy and you have to win on raw racing prowess.

162,910 - Tier 1


I think this is pretty good considering I really haven't played this before this week.  I have gotten into the 150s several times but I can't quite seem to break through that.  I might try a few more times to beat this.

Nice job Arch! I think I made it to level 28 as well. At that point if you wiped out, or ran out of missles you were pretty much done because once you fell behind there was no catching back up.

I had max ammo, since I used it pretty sparingly.  But with only 2 laps, if they all get past you... They are GONE.  No way to catch up and shoot them.

Tom made it to level 36 when we played a couple of years ago and offered some hints on how he advanced.

Screw this! I'm so tired right now, and the game just pissed me off pretty bad. Fuckin' slippery tracks. I hope Billtown and arn don't catch up to the 240K club

Also, I swear I'm going to kick your ass at the next game BriGuy...

Don't worry Vex...in life, somedays you beat'em and somedays you eat'em. This time you happened to be the one gobbling the goo.

(I really want to order a copy of that game from you, but now I'm afraid you might rub your nuts on it before you mail it to me!)

I just got this score a little while ago, the best before was a little over 86K. It sucks comparatively, but I wanted to at least post something. I feel inferior to everyone when it comes to this game, since a lot of you are beasts! Well, good luck to everyone the rest of the way!
