I bought this with some trepidation after reading Game Spot's reviews- makes you realize that everyone has different tastes! I personally think this game is very good at what it tries to do. Make no mistake, this is a true simulation and not Burnout (thank God!- that arcade rubbish quickly went back to the store). As a big fan of F1 Championship Edition, having an other simulation other than F1 is excellent. I also enjoyed the on-line mode as the people I raced against seemed to be serious racers and the events did not degenerate into destruction derbies (GRID comes to mind-another excellent game but bad on-line mode due to immature players) . My only grip is the damage modeling i.e. almost none to speak of. Damaging your car does not affect handling etc which is a shame. Everything else is spot on especially the handing. And yes, GameSpot I think the progression through the game is very good as well. At present I'm finishing mid-field (all assists turned off) but recently finished a race in 4th place. The sense of achievement was very rewarding. Can't wait to improve and start winning races. For the simulation fan-its a no brainer: get this game. The option to customise your car's paint job is also extensive and a lot of fun. I look forward to more racing games from this developer. All in all, apart from the Ferrari license which, I'm sure, has hindered some aspects of development (damage modeling mainly), a very good game that takes (enjoyable) time to learn. Well done Eutechnyx
