I bought the game on Friday and soon started to realize that it could be quite laborious to complete. There are certain challenges that require you to purchase a specific car. A few costing about 100,000 and the F430 costing 230,000 roughly. Now how do they expect you to get that much credits without having to repeat the races you have already won in order to get a little more cash. Also im having to sell all of my cars after they are no longer needed. For example I will save up for a specific car i.e the American Car (100,000) after completing all the challenges with that car I sell it in order to raise money for the next vehicle. Of course it will only sell for about 20,000 leaving 80,000 short for the next car!

Another issue I have with the game is the online play, however this may be due to a weak connection on my behalf. Basically other drivers seems to be moving around extremely erratically and it's so difficult to have a controlled race without so much crashing.

Give me your thoughts

Thanks

well thats usually how gt works, you need to re-race that which you've already won to make the money needed for the more expensive cars, and yes it got quite frustrating for me especially in number 3

Gt3 gave me that kind of problem when I bought it, I kept repeating the same race over and over until I got the car I want, and until this very day I haven't finished that game.

Still I didn't complain much about that.

uh...have you ever PLAYED a Gran Turismo game? :|

cause...yeah...that's pretty much how they roll. it's not midnight club or need for speed. it's a full on racing simulation. it's like the rpg or oblivion of racing games. the final fantasy of cars games.

GT is more of a driving sim than a racing game, if you were expecting some fast paced rubber burning mayhem you picked the wrong series.

Yeah like the other guy have you ever played Gran Turismo because it is a very fast racing simulator with way more cars and tracks than most games if your complaining about it you should tell us what have you played if anything at all.

DONT DISS GRAN TURISMO

If you go online and race, you can earn kinda easy money there. specially first placers but hard to accomplish with people bouncing against your car so it would go into slip, so you end up last.

Pretty much all racing simulators are like that.

I hear ya re: online play. I'm hoping that once I beat the class A challenges in offline that the new online races that open up will be inhabited by people with skill as the new tracks are more demanding than High speed ring or Daytona. It is way annoying when you start in 11th pole position and make your way to first only to be slamed by bad sports and come in last! I don't mind being blocked as it is fun to try to pass them but people playing it like its Need for speed really take the fun out of it. Personally I dont slam into other players, I slip behind them and keep the pace waiting for them to slip up and then I over take them. When you fluke it and get a match with serious GT players that race properly it is an absolute blast!
