The latest 1up Yours podcast also spoke about this (John Davidson - a UK driving game fan checked it out). The control is terrible with all driving assists off, yet the game is too easy with them on. They agree with Edge in that the game plays like the terrible EA series.

Hmm, have people noticed the same playing the demo?TE_Lawrence

no, the demo was great, maybe they reviewed the JPN version.

I would imagine driving a high revving, high horsepower F1 racer wouldn't be easy without stability assists.emitsu97

I would imagine driving a high revving, high horsepower F1 racer wouldn't be easy without stability assists. In fact, isn't that why they have them in real life F1's? :lol:emitsu97

So what? It's a racing game. What they are saying is that the control - an essential in a racing game - is terrible. It has nothing to do with gamers not being able to cope with a simulation - in fact they say the major downfall is that they tried to mix both arcade and simulation style racing and ended up being mediocre.Revere_Wheelie
