Default PS2 GT3 killed me

I spent 3 nights in a row to finish the Licence test. I dont know anyone has finished the Licende test, if you do I want you to share your experience. I almost lost the feeling to my thumb, man I have to go to sleep now zzZZ ... NO MORE PS2 for me.

I know how you feel! I'm on the international A license, and man it's a b**ch! My thumbs feel exactly as yours do, but hopefully my wheel will get here soon!

the hardest one I think its not the last one of super class.
But I can tell you that after you finish all Licence you will be sick of this game because there is no point to keep you going .

were the license tests really that hard?

I finished all except super license in under 2 days (took 2 days cuz I tried to get golds on a lot of them) and they were hard at all to get bronze.

I haven't even tried the super license yet so I don't know how long that'll take me.

For those having difficulty in finishing the license exams, remember that you only need to get a bronze to pass. Not knowing that, I killed myself trying to get the B-License. Killed meaning four hours of repetition. I was able to pass every other license exam in one try until the super license.

Keep that in mind, aim lower and just get the bronze. You can always go back and hone your skills if you choose. Using the stock controllers is tough, but I don't see the point in blowing a $100 on a steering wheel for a video game.

Is the super class tough ? It depends ! If you have a huge screen and have little autocross and go-kart experience I think It should take you about 6 hours to finish it. Just keep in mind that you dont give up ... just keep on going non-stop.
I used the stock PS2 joystick to finish them all. Then I bought a logitech GP force to try which is for PC, but it is just the same as the GT force steering wheels. Its no bad at all, I like the feel and everthing except its hard to set up properly because you have to plug this there and there ,and the pedal keep sliding.
The steering wheels is very good for some licence exam like Miata and those slow cars but I dont recommend to use it for fast cars like ,for example, CR-5. The reason is that you need to steer rapidly in some exams, you will probably break it before you finish it :-) Anyways enjoy your ride !!!

Heeee Stephen told me the other night I was surprised to see you working on your 1A lic. Especially since I was only on my 2nd tier! Last night I went out and finished 1B and 1A. Nothing like a littlw competition to spur a person on! Man that last test in 1A was a bitch!
