Gorgeous!
Amazing what lighting can do for REALISM. This game might be more arcade oriented that forza, but make no mistake, this game LOOKS a million times more real than the plastic cars and lifeless environments in Forza2. Sound is quite good and give each car a different feel.
Interface is simply the best to date out of any game.
Collision dammage is top notch.
Absolutely positively most beautifull tracks and environment. Say goodbye to green texture maps, say hello to fully render grass strands wayving in the wind and bushes....yes I took a few trips off-track because I was so aw struck by the detail in the environment.
Framerate does dive once in while. Seems to be more of an optimization issue.
Three thumbs up...any racer's dream.
