I never bought this since most reviews were dismal, but today it's only $7.50

I just ran the 1st four "quick races" so here is my review: 

meh...

How did they make the graphics WORSE than Reflex?
How did they make the game even EASIER than Reflex?
How did they ever *#*#*ing imagine anyone would buy ridiculously priced DLC tracks?

  Sounds about right...

Glad that I never bought it

At 75% off the core game & 75% off DLC, it's what I expect to pay for a full XBOX game.

But there's the rub... it's an XBOX game and uses an XBOX controller...
If only it supported a good joystick (not crappy XBOX fake joysticks).

I used to buy any moto game they sold just to support the industry, but the MotoGP series is nothing but new skins & pretty much the same for MXGP & then we get this track DLC crap.

At least I have my G27 & Playseat rig for auto racing...

I'm interested to hear more about the differences you see in the graphics, where do you think they are lacking in Encore compared to Reflex?

Encore looks like it has a black film grain on the track textures and weird mottled or clumpy, blurry looking edges on the ruts and jump edges + the gate, start girls and most objects have blotchy (not exactly jagged) edges (not the bales).

However, I have not played Reflex in a really long time & have installed a new video cards & 2 or 3 driver updates since then... maybe I'll fire up Reflex this weekend and try some different settings in the AMD / Crimson / Catalyst control center.

Yeah i have noticed that blotchiness, 1st i saw it on the guy in the doghoue at the start and thought it was a tattoo, but soon became obvious it was a gfx glitch. The dirt textures look fine for me - at least the last time i ran the game they did.
