Immersive and refreshing driving experience for Ferrari fans

User Rating: 8.5 | Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli PS3
I love car games. They're my favorite type. Either simulations like Gran Turismo and Forza, or arcade like Outrun, Burnout, NFS, PGR etc. If I had to chose, the simulators would be the winners. And Ferrari Challenge is in the top 3.

I've always had a soft spot for Ferraris, and ended up driving them whenever possible in most racing game.

This game feels real. The handling seems to be spot on, although I must admit I've never driven a Ferrari for real. Quite similar to Forza, but maybe with a little bit more feedback when it comes to grip. The cars are beautifully rendered and the sound is impressive.

Yes, it comes with its flaws but they're not deal breakers for me. In fact they don't bother me at all: the damage is unrealistic, the variety of cars is obviously quite limited, the graphics are not photo realistic but look more like a cartoon etc.

In terms of the number of cars, I find personally that less is more. I wan't to drive supercars and don't care about standard cars in games when you end up driving the 20 more powerful machines anyway and disregard the rest.

Those who value car handling, car aesthetic detailing and realistic sound will be impressed. I certainly am and I don't tend to be these days. But be sure you know what you're looking for, cause this games is not an all rounder, but more a dedicated simulation for Ferrari fans or can fans who value certain things more than others.
