Another game I won't waste my time with...seriously how can this be much different than Asphault 7 which is XBL.
LOL, as if there's a set meaning of "fun." I have fun going after Achievements. I guess I shouldn't ever go beat the rest of my video games because someone else won't consider them fun. Who cares if I think it's fun? It's what random strangers on the Internet are telling me to do that TRULY determines what is fun for me.
How old are you guys?
Play games for fun and not for silly Achievements.
Whilst that's true, writing a game off because it doesn't award points is a bit silly.
Keith,
There are achievements in the game, just not Xbox achievements AND the whole point of most racing games, before the whole "achievement" thing became popular recently is to WIN, obtain all the cars and tracks and have the best times and beat track records.
For people who have played games before this Xbox generation, we can call it silly to write off a game because the achievements aren't labeled Xbox.
The point of the game is to race and win and look good doing it. Have you even looked into the achievements that are in the game? If you were honest about the problem being something to work towards, there is PLENTY to work towards.
Did you not play games before Xbox Live and the achievement system was created?
Let's not forget that it's not just achievements that are gone in the new one. The new one also from what I've read doesn't sync progress between phone and PC as far as I can see, and (again only from what I've read) doesn't allow true online multiplayer anymore - it only has online versus your friends' ghosts.
I haven't bought it to know for sure though.
Just wanted to stop by and clarify a few things. Like others have mentioned the game does have achievements, but at the moment they aren't XBL ones. The game also offers cloud sync so you should be able to transfer progress after it syncs up with our servers. Lastly, the game does offer true multiplayer by going to the "World Series" section on the main menu. This lets players join rooms based on their race selections and compete against other WP/W8 players. The option to race friends' ghosts is just another form of multiplayer the game offers but it isn't the only type.
In that case, I apologize for the misinformation.
@Keith Wallace: Stop crying. This Game has Achievements. They are just not XBox labeld. But who cares?
