Party Pack Feedback

sambartle · 06-02-2009, 10:12 AM

I've had a go on the Party Pack this morning..

Whats all the pink allover the screen about.. that needs to be smaller or gone.

Also the checkpoint info that keeps appearing in the middle of the screen is absolutly the most annoying thing ever apart from the fact that it happens (and always has) in multiplayer in the normal online game!

I cant belive instead of removing it from online play (speed rules, time rules all that rubbilalalalas actually been added to A new mode as well.

All you had to do was make it smaller at the top or bottom of the screen.. not in the CENTRE!

Other than that the party pack is actually quite good.. although at the price it is I was expecting a bit more.

Not sure if this is a bug or not.. but the drive in oncoming challenges seem a bit easy.. theres Nothing coming towards you so all you have to do is stay on the wroing wide of the road for the time limit to run down.. There should be traffic surely.

Also why is there a doorbell noise in there.. It doesnt seem to signify anything? Just goes off randomly even in the menus of party mode!

I used to have 81/82 cars in the junkyard and 79/78 in the stats. After the 1.60 update both say 77/78 (I still need to do a lot of showtime road rules).

Thats correct because the 4 bikes are now shown seperate depending on what you pick from the cars/bikes menu.

I also got the party pack on the weekend and all in all it's pretty okay. I got 2 things however:

1. For what it is, the price is a little high. 10 bucks for some "mini-games" is a lot of money I'd say. But well, for giving us so much stuff for free, I can still let that pass. Just don't charge too much for the island I'd say.

2. And this is the big point: Now think about it, if you get yourself a race game and have a multiplayer mode (just the fact that it took a year for them to include a multiplayer mode besides online playing is ridiculous), what's the thing you'd like to do most when sitting with friends in front of the game? Right, have a good race against each other! Still this is not possible in BP, because still there is no splitscreen mode availible. I mean come on, how hard can that be? I definitely thought that this party pack would also include a splitscreen mode and it was the thing I was most looking forward to. Mini-games are fun and all that, but I want to be able to do a regular race or road rage or whatever in splitscreen with my friends! And I can't be the only one wanting that, can I??

Please Criterion, you did so much great work for this game, but it's hard to believe for me that you still couldn't manage to give people just a regular splitscreen option!

Well, on the old criterion forum they (criterion guys) said several times there will not be a split-screen mode ever on BP since it would hit performance way too much and they'd not be able to run at 60fps anymore..
Don't hold your breath for split0screen I'd say

I'd like a refund quite frankly. I've paid a tenner for what is essentially nothing more than a limited (to 8 challenges) scorecard for things I could do with the game anyway (without all the crappy loading times).

Sorry i have to say this, but the Party Pack is the worst BP DLC ever!

If you really playing with 8 people, the first player starts and until the last player is on turn he is fall asleep. The Sessions are too long!

And, the Party Pack is even really not worth 800 MS-Points! I'm so glad that i got it for free with the Ultimate Box! It's not even worth more than FREE! (OK, let'S be realistic, 200 Points are OK.)

i think the they need to have option for us to choose a specific challenge because there some challenge is too hard for noobs and there are alot of challenge hardly show up such as doing near miss using a F1 and making longest air time using inferno van at the airfield
