Mission 'Revenge' broken difficulty?

I'm playing on medium difficulty with the v1.3 patch installed and everything leading up to the mission titled 'Revenge' has been a breeze.

This mission on the other hand seems impossible to complete. I've driven near perfect races, no collisions, tight cornering, maximizing nitro use, and I can't finish 1st. Have played the same mission for an hour now and perfected the track.

Is this a difficulty spike bug? Sure feels like it. Anyone else having this issue?

    Me three. It's ridiculous. And how do you save the game? Or get back to the main menu?

    Unfortunately, I found out that this is a design choice. The game has some sort of rubberband difficulty that is all over the place. One race can be easy and then the next seemingly impossible, no matter what level you are at.

    Tip: Try restarting the game, it helps sometimes.

    Anyhow, this broken gameplay & AI design is prevalent throughout the game and it's what made me sell the game. Even with a maxed out car you will be outrun by cars in the very first races, which makes takes away any feeling of progress and makes leveling up the racing cars a headache.

    [Edit - Admin.] They completely ruined was what otherwise a really really cool racing game.

  • same.  wtf...  * i always play games on "hard" but this mission is ridiculous.  there's no way to upgrade your car, you can't back out of the mission to practice.  There's hard then there's just bad game design.  this one is the latter.
