Stunning graphics, awesome cinematics, interactive gameplay... Under appreciated racing game!
This game delivers quick paced and action packed races which keeps it interesting as it moves along. I believe that the developers said that their goal is to try to bring back people's focus back to the roots of a real race... an intense mood while going for the top of the podium. This game delivers exactly that.
People seem to complain about the lack of customization which keeps the game pretty straight, in other words, dull and may not suit your persona but in my opinion, the cars are already beautifully designed and properly set up for whatever race you're going on. Which is even better I think, you don't have to waste your time trying to tune up your car, and you don't need to have the knowledge of a grease monkey to have fun in this game.
This ain't no need for speed, or a forza 2, or a pgr4 but a game on it's own. The damage simulation is awesome, (reminds me of burnout paradise.) The in-dash view is well detailed along with the accurate sounds of rubber on suspension hitting tarmac. The replays are actually really entertaining to watch, espeically the drifting. And as you can already see through the screenshots and videos, the game already delivers a stunning look which sold me from day 1.
All in all, great racing game, stunning graphics, sick rides, beautiful cinematics, and intense racing feel that's focused on you, the driver. This game delivers it all, very balanced game. A racing game that you can pick up and have fun, and put down. Quite realistic physics and handling. Recommended to any race game fan.
