You earn an extra life every 100,000 points. As long as you have one in reserve, you can fail an event and keep playing.

Ooh never knew that, makes me feel less guilty about exploiting bugs then. One thing I did have a problem with was lag, most of the games I played made it unplayable and yet some worked fine even if I was playing the same person.

How are folks playing this anyway?, I've found that the analogue stick works better than buttons, I haven't bothered using my DOA stick as I'm scared I'll wreck it before VF5 comes out. Really hope they bring out Hyper Sports as well as it's equally as good as T&F if not better..

Analog stick here too, give far better times etc. Question though

- what angle is needed for nine metres in the long jump, can't seem to get near it.

Thanks.

David - I'd say around 45 degrees (hence the achievement) and you really do need to jump pretty much on the line. The amount of times I've got 44 and 46 degress now, but not 45, is doing my head in. Seriously

Analogue stick here too. I thought I'd be better at the buttons, but finding the stick to be better (although I did have a stint with "rubbing" the d-pad but I soon became sweaty and mid-way through a race I'd end up slowing down lol)

I remember the PSX version. I'd laugh if Sony stuck it on PSN for a few quid.

Got the 45 degree achievement but can't hit 9.00, got 8.76 with 1259 speed and 47 degrees, will get there tonight.

See someone had more stamina than you John, three million plus now tops the leaderboard - must have taken hours.

This game is amazing online 4 player - I thought it'd just be 2 player online but what an absolute hoot we had with it last night - really, really good fun.

[Bleeders]

My arm is killing me this morning though, despite the fact that I'm ****ing terrible at the game!

Awesome games none-the-less with false (and no-starts) aplenty.

As was alluded to last-night, the real challenge is getting your initials done in like, 5 seconds before-hand.

[Yoshimax]

Getting 4 sets of correct initials before the (invisible) timer runs out should have an achievement attached !!!

Still, some comedy naming as a result - it's a game in itself

The mind games on the start line for 110m hurdles were amazing - Couldn't believe it when I shouted "go" and RODPROD bolted off the line

***** do that at football training all the time, nice to see it has made its way onto live, this should be fun... headset speaker on mute till the race starts

[Bleeders]

Naw man, half of the fun is the false starts.

is there an option to switch to original graphics?

[ChrisF]

is there an option to switch to original graphics?

Yep! Think you only get it if you pay for the full version. Same as all these Digital Eclipse games.

[VR46]

Think you can only access it in the pause menu by the way.

[Kotatsu Neko]

is there an option to switch to original graphics?

Yes but sadly there's no original sound option.

[RustyS Badge]

Yes but sadly there's no original sound option.

yes there is

Think you can only access it in the pause menu by the way.

help&options -> settings has both options for original gfx and sound
