I found out about this game through TV ads, and when I looked at how awesome the graphics were I bought a copy without hesitation. The game is overflowing with features. Hundreds and hundreds of cars (about 700 to be more precise) is an amazing amount for a game. The worlds look absolutely amazing and almost flawless. But I quickly found a major bad thing: the handling. The car physics (handling, traction, etc) is anything but realistic. In real life, most cars can make turns rather quickly. This game, however, makes cars turn slowly and bad. For some races, you have to slow the car down to literally 25 mph to make a turn. No one wants to do that in a racing game! Plus, my friend drives 2 hours a day on average for his job, and when he played the game, he said the handling is nowhere near realistic for his car (because the car he drives is in the game.) The pain of this is quadroupled when you need to go through a billion driving exams before you can earn descent amounts of money.
However, if you are already used to the handling in Gran Turismo games, or you want to try to get used to them, then definitely buy this game.
