Reading the reviews, i was a bit put off, but i look the plunge and wow, what an awesome game.


Remember, This is a SIMULATION game Not an arcade!
Best played with joystick/wheel and peddles.

As above (to reinforce) THIS IS A SIMULATION game, alot like Gran Turismo and Forza.

This game is back to basics, track racing with some of the most awesome cars around, from Nissan, to Ford to Lambo and beyond.

Good:

Awesome range of cars..

Awesome range of Tracks

Awesome range of mods and upgrades to do on your car.

Down right realistic.

Alright graphics From inside the car.


BAd:

Very long loading times!! (Arrrrggghhhh)

Outside of car, graphics can be a little underwhelming, seeing as this is a 2009 game.

Very long to get use to the controls.

Need a very high spec pc to run it.



Specs:

I am running as follows,

AMD Athlon Dual Core 4000+
3Gb Ram
Amd radeon 4650

Not the best rig, but it plays everything else (crysis, fallout 3, Farcry Ect on high)

With this game, i run as follows

1280X768
AA off
Everything on medium

and im getting 15-30 FPS depending on what is onscreen.




Overall, If you have the pc to run it well, you are a sim fan and you have a joystick or racing peddles/ wheel, then, well, go for it, you will be pleased you did.

PS: DO NOT PLAY WITH KEYBOARD, IT JUST RUINS IT!!!
