I don't know why gamespot like this game so much! They say it's a 9.0 game and I can't agree with that. It's not like me, but I feel almost offended by seeing this 9 there. I'm glad I didn't bought it... it would made me very mad. =) If you saw gamespot's "best and worst games of 2006", you could see that this game was one of those "good" games that no one play... And they doesn't understand why. For me, it's so clear, so obvious, that the only explanation I can find is that the reviewers are huge fans of this game or computer racing games. If you like racing games that stick to the real job of driving a car, go play gran turismo. If you like to fire your engine and dive into adrenaline, try need for speed. The sound effects doesn't look real, the engine sounds like that old game, "stunts". The graphics are terrible, everything looks like it's made from brightless plastic painted with a child's painting software... The textures are poor, specially the grain and track. Not to mention the rain... man, what's that? I don't know if it changes when controlling the game with the wheel (cuz I only have a keyboard), but controlling the car is no fun at all. The brakes and the "wheels" doesn't seem to answer your hands, it feels like the track is driving the car and you are just trying to help. They say that the game tries to teach you how to drive this kinda "realistic" game... but it teaches you with a bunch of boring "lessons". So, borrow it before buying it... it feels like those "realistic" air simulators, they tie so hard to the real deal that they forget that a game is suposed to be fun and then you prefer to fly fighters at Battlefield 1 or 2... It's a game, it's not a real car... and to infuse a game with the sense of reallity it takes a visionary and artistic touch, and this game doesn't have it.
Personally I have been a fan of the GTR series since it was realeased but I finally feel the series has reached the zenith of motoring simualtion. I understand that this game is not for everyone but for a driving enth... Read Full Review
Hello! I just thought I would write a review on this to show you that this is not some crap game just cause of the dated graphics. It has been a year and a half now since I started playing simulations (starting with G... Read Full Review
