I got it a while ago actually, but I just started playing it seriously and I'started to realize what a piece of crap it is. The graphics is ok actually, although the poly count is seriously a problem and I don't understand how it can't be higher on the player's car at least, and the cars' shadows actually overlays ground shadows, that sucked as well. So what about the gameplay? I have three major problems, firstly you always start from the last position, I know it's a tradition for racing games, but screw the tradition, I've played good games like Grid where you don't always start last. Now why is this a problem? Because its just plain annoying, there are ways too many opponents and you have to pass them every single race, why so many opponents? Why don't make my car's poly count higher instead? Have half the number of opponents and twice the poly count? Every race you have to pass these guys and it's a pain because it is too easy to get into collisions with this many opponents. And you better pass them fast within the first half lap because if you don't you're screwed, the first few cars are insanely fast you don't catch up by then you'll never catch up. It's just so pointless I mean most of the times you won't even see them they'll bee just so far behind they might as well not exist, so stupid. Secondly the difficulty is bs, as soon as I hit grand national the game becomes totally impossible. The previous stage was so incredibly easy I win games with over 10 seconds lead every time, total domination. Then I get into grand national, and I just get face palmed by that Lotus bs. The opponents in that one are impossibly fast they corner with the perfect route and maximum speed every time, and the car is a piece of crap it always spins out. I tried like 20 times I couldn't win I had to lower the difficulty to easy. I mean what kind of bs is this on one level you dominate like no other and the next level you get owned so hard you had to lower the difficulty? What kind of a game design is that? And there is more, the exact same opponents get faster and faster in the Sam tournament. Wtf is that all about? Were they just like pretending to suck and then smoke you in the third stag? This is especially annoying because if you screw up the last stage and don't get 1st because of it, you gotta start over from the beginning, nad to make sure you can't just restart in-game, they don't tell you the overall score, so you can't know what place you have to get to be the first. Thirdly, it's the race tracks, they are just designed to be as unforgiving as possible and as annoying as possible. For example if you hit a wall at greater than a very specific angle, it will somehow make you spin around such that you face backwards. What a load of crap if I hit a wall you have to make me start over? Why not just make it a simple game over instead I have to manually restart? It's the same thing with those sharp corner after long straights, they always make sure to have a gigantic area of grass on the outskirts of that corner, to make sure you're **** if you were too fast at that corner. This is just not fun at all one mistake and you have to start over, the gameplay is just constant restarts, which means you have to pass all those cars again and again and again. And please don't tell me this is all realistic, because it's not, I'm not a fan of realistic racers but I've played realistic simulation games and this game only falls somewhere in the middle of simulation and arcade racer. Other than the gameplay, the controls is also a problem. The accelerometer control is obviously no good for serious playing because it's delayed for like a full half a second, it's just really uncomfortable. I usually use the small thumb stealing wheel, and it sucks for faster cars. It's too small so if you have 1 sensitivity you can't make turns even if you turn it all the way. If you have 3 sensitivity it's too sensitive and you have to turn by shifting the shape of the flesh on your thumb. Now I usually use 2 and that have worked for my Golfs, but it doesn't work any more with my GT-R because its also too sensitive it's too easy to spin out. We totally need a bigger steering wheel like one that takes up half the screen.
