I skipped others for this? Long loads and short races.
The game basically boils down to 3 laps of bumper cars. It's like racing Sherman tanks. There is really no penalty for running into the opponent (and don't get me started on the AI). If your car isn't fast enough to keep up, you just slide into a turn, hit a few cars and make up about 5 spots. There's no incentive not to do it. When you hit another car, it's impossible to wreck them, but of course the AI can wreck you.
3 Laps? Really? That's all you get? You sit at a loading screen for a minute or so (even after doing the 45 minute pre-load) only to get 3 laps of bumper cars.
I'm very disappointed in this game. I should have gotten the new Formula 1 game instead. I even bought the GT steering wheel for this and it didn't help.
I'm going to give it a few more days and then possibly return it. I guess I'll just write off those hours that I have spent watching a loading screen.
