Great game, but i think people got too overhyped about it.

The truth is simple. THIS is a great game, but it isnt the perfection some people expected. Those people expected to drive a real car through a controller; that cant happen just yet. I think its a great game; very interesting career mode, online seems fun, good graphics ( with exception of the crappy standard cars), simulation is just right, etc.
My major flaw is the lack of cockpit view from the GT4-imported cars that are premium. Also, i hate that hardly nothing is unlocked at first, in contrast to forza 3 were you had everything unlocked to use in arcade mode. This means that some people will quit on it very early. I also hate the long load times, they piss me off. Apart from minor flaws, this game is still top-notch fun that guarantees you many hours of gameplay, and the best racer out there. For now.

    I've been a fan of this series since the original Playstation edition, but I don't think expectations for this series have ever been so high as this. I was fortunate enough to get my copy a bit early and thought I'd s... Read Full Review
