This game is great. Really gives you that sense of, "Holy sh*t I just accelerated to 120mph+ in less than 5 seconds!" Feels spot on how it should, it really does. Very realistic. Racing on Bahrain, trying to get the best time, while watching the real life F1 cam of Toyota's record (online), was pretty exciting. The tracks look exactly like they do in real life. This is one of the few games I can really play and feel like I was actually there, actually doing it. Driving the 57 lap+ Grand Prix and spending hours tuning your vehicle specifically for that exact track is a thrill. Seeing cloudy conditions during qualifying rounds and then a light rain during the Grand Prix was awesome. Realistic damage system. Steering wheels actually have real gauges and info! Loads of fun purposefully messing up Schumacher, forcing him to lose his ego! Hahahaa. Winning the Grand Prix will earn you toys to put in your garage, like old classic Renault cars from the 60's, and even Coopers, like those bullet-shaped cars with the bicycle wheels? Awesome. Only beef with this game is the online (not working every time) and the lack of split-screen. Split-screen would make it that much better.
