how good is it?
muttisr
How good is this game? I would love PCM on playstation, but that isn´t an option, so I´m wondering if this game stands the same qualities so I can buy this one instead.
 
Vien
It's a totally different game. In PCM, you manage a team. In TDF, you are one rider of your team.

I don't have a PS3/Xbox so I have no idea how good this game will be. All I know is that TDF 2011 was a very unrealistic game but more like a beta, and 2012 will attempt to fix most problems with the game.

Yeah, I agree with Vien. TdF '11 wasn't very realistic. Good graphics, but simply not realistic enough. And the whole only using one rider thing didn't really have me hooked Wink Hopefully TdF 12 is better. But I wont buy it until I read a few positive reviews Wink

thanks for your answers!

Best way you might see how the game is, check youtube. There are various videos that show the game and how it's played. This is the first one I found, but there are better i.e with commentaries etc. Wink

Thanks! I don't know how I did manage to not think about that. And I love it, I'll buy it. I thought that it would be cool with a one.rider on PCM, and I wanted PCM on playstation, and then I heard about this game! Maybe I'll buy each every second year.

I've seen several videos of the game, I think it's pretty cool. Obviously read about some bugs as well, but that would be expected since it's the first year of the game. The new features of the 12 game seems great (DB editor, 1vs1 online mode), and if I owned a PS3/XBox I'd surely buy it Smile

Anyone played the 2011 version and chose a sprinter?
 
superider2010
yeah,with not such a good sprinter you can win
if you select the weakest rider on downhill,you descendent with big speed,much higher then peleton or any other rider.because of this,i had fall many times on downhills(i don't slow down in curves)
on team tt,i won every time and i had rabobank,omega,astana(if i had barely 3 riders good on tt

everyone played with a sprinter,it was inevitable,cyanide maked an update to pick what rider you want
i won with freire 2 stages with a small climb before finish

tdf 2012 is lame too offline,but they added online mode and it will be much more fun

TheManxMissile
i had 2011 breifly
a lot of fun and great visually
the gameplay was clunky and crude
too many sub-menus
inaccurate representation of how cycling works

they have admitted that 2011 was basically a beta
2012 sounds good, and they seem to have focused on last years issues
im going to get it for sure
 
superider2010
pre ordered tour de france 2012 ps3 and pcm 2012 pc
i will beat TheManxMissile because i'm SpeedOfLight

I much rather prefer the PC version as it gives the player more control.

It's not really a matter of choosing between the two games. Other than the name of the company behind (Cyanide) and the graphics, there's not really much that can be compared.

In downhills I made big gaps with really sucky downhill riders, it was to easy. I hope they fixed this in the 2012 version.

How is it compared to 2011? Would be greatful if someone could write a review (for us who unfortunately can't understand Italian).
 
jr80
I've written a comparison compared to 2011 in a separate thread. Feel free to ask questions there of my experience so far with the game.
