Is this difficult, or is it just me?

[LegendIsReal]

So I jumped straight in to this, tried on Hard, got slaughtered, tried on Medium and still have never come first.

Is this like this for everyone, or do I just suck at it? I loved the first and never remember having this much trouble.

[Johan]

nope its not just you, i am playing on expert now and that takes some dedication ,skill and luck to complete.

The first one was much easier indeed

[LegendIsReal]

Is expert unlocked after a certain amount of play or something?

Also, how do you generally win? Everyone seems SO much faster than me.

[Johan]

yeah i just played every cup on easy first and after that expert unlocked.

and if they all seem to be faster than you then they probably are ,i have the same thing thats why it takes a certain amount of luck by not getting hit by the cpu and hoping that they take each other out.

I guess SUMO had complaints that the first game was too easy.... I think we should now complain that it's too hard

haha yeah lets start a petition

but seriously this game is hard on expert ,at least you dont have to come in first place in all the cups

Not a very difficult game once you get the hang of it

[grooselog]

I'm struggling on this game when it comes to hard and expert, but I suppose it comes down to your skill level.

Still I will percervere and practice. Definately want to unlock all characters and locations. Not looking forward to grand prix on expert though.

I think SUMO are ridiculous for making this game so hard. I'm stuck on the time trials (beating expert staff) and I've nearly spent 12 hours on trying to beat 2 courses, with another 6 left. The first game was so much more enjoyable, memorable and characteristically fitting, this game just sucks.

I hate the cheap way out with mirror mode too.

[metalsteelix]

This game is unfairly hard, it Will sure take more than 1 try to do the Hard mode, not even talking about the expert mode.

I sometimes struggle to finish in the top 3 on medium difficulty. I think you'll perform better once you learn all the tracks, master the drift mechanic and pick the vehicle/mod that's best for the track.

[grooselog]

I gave up with this game and went back to playing the previous game.
Far more enjoyable, less headaches & more fun.

Also in just five eve's I now have 1000g on sonic & sega all stars

Why they made this so much more difficult i'll never figure that out.

[xD Rick]

Same here, mate.
I´ve spent like an hour yesterday trying to beat a race on expert.
When I finally managed to stay in 1st the entire race, I mean, from start to one curve to finish, that motherf*** Knucles appear behind me out of thin air. And I was looking in the mini map and he was way back.
So this is it for me, I´ve done with this shit.
One thing is a game to be ridiculously hard, but a game that cheat is too much for me.
I´ll only get back to this crap after and If they make a patch to fix this difculty.

I've had a pretty tough time with Hard, but Medium isn't too bad as long as you're good at the game.

[Baihu1983]

My first race was on medium. Never got hit and only managed 2nd.

[bob101910]

Just rented this game. Wish I had read this 1st. Races on easy are way too easy and medium is too hard. Dominate races the whole time on easy. Medium, can't get better than 5th on medium
