Amazing graphics, cool cars, great damage, but car handling sucks.

I picked this game up on release day, because I was impressed by the demo. The graphics were amazing. The damage model was superb. But after a few hours with the actual game I started realizing "I can't drive". I have a steering wheel and pedals, and I honestly can't finish a Race without inflicting some sort of damage to my car. Even on an easy setting the car's handle like the back tires are always on ice. I understand that this is the point of the game, but even when driving on paved roads the cars still handle as if I'm driving on a sheet of ice.

Other than the car's handling trouble the game is great. The replays are beautiful and definitely worth watching. I'm not too happy with the replay options though. Sometimes I want a replay of a certain part in the race (such as a spectacular crash), but the only way to get to it is the fast forward through the entire race. There is no ability to start replay at a certain time. Plus when you are using the slow motion feature you must hold down the button and this doesn't allow you switch camera angles while in slow motion.

Overall this is a great game, I just wish the car's handled a little better.
