What a wasted trip

Went into town to buy some games because I'm slowly going insane here.

Picked up TOCA (race driver) 2, Hitman 2 and Colin McRae 4 for a tenner, and FIFA 07 for œ15........
Great!

Except:
Fifa won't install because DirectX 9.0c won't download- I have 9.0b
Hitman 2 is sh<s></s>it- Mouse movement is terrible and it's such a sloooooooooooooooow game
TOCA 2 isn't the same TOCA 2 I thought it was, I wanted the original TOCA- aka Touring car championship game. I can't stand the new "race driver" TOCAs

The only I haven't got left to try is bloody Colin McRae 4, which will probably turn out to have a glitch resulting in a nuke being targetted, armed and fired towards my chuffing room!

    iirc, you can torrent directx9c or it should be on the cd itself.

    And the worst thing is the Race Driver series' dont even have the BTCC in them! Which sucks really. Colin MacRae Rally 4 is quite good, but the graphics arent so great. Good for preventing insanity though.

    your aware that toca 2 had two versions?

    You can buy them direct from codemasters and download. i'd take your games back and do that [;)]

    pro evo for realism. excuse me are you drunk? none of the pro evo games have ever been that good. chosing between pro evo and fifa is like trying to decided whether you'd rather be kicked in the left or right testicle.

  • That means your hardware is only Direct X 9b or below?

    It will be your Graphics card. What card is it? Most internals are still Direct X 8.

    well i assume it was 'cus of my comment about pro evo. Which i think was fair after playing the most recent one. which quite frankly (ha ha see what i did there) was awful.
