Could have been, but it's not.
The array of cars from witch to choose from is impressive, all being fully licensed. The modelling team has done especially a great job recreating these cars in great detail, including the interior of the car. Well being a driving/racing game it's not a surprise. The surprise comes when it comes to driving. Although the cars are so beautifully modelled and textured, although you have a cockpit camera - wich is great, by the way - the control of the car is very poor. The game has some tweaking sliders for the control, but they don't do much in helping you. the controls will be hyper-responsive or hipo-responsive; either way it isn't good, This is the BIG minus of this game, witch would have otherwise been super.
Sure, with a steering wheel I think the game should respond adequately, but hey, how many of us have one?
