The guys of EA tried this time to compete with FORZA and GT and they failed.

The most frustrating aspect of the game is not just the gameplay itself, this have too the performance issues with ati users and some nvidia users. The fps drops down sometimes when you are at high speed and you are trying to master a corner, then all you see is the wall that is in front of you.

But what is really disapointing is the handling of the vehicles, how is possible that a car that is running in straight line starts to loose control as if the track had soap. Everything that is "realistic" is just OVER exaggerated.

Some people say that the game is just fine, that the wheel is a must, but thats ridiculous, you play the game with the control that you have, and that controll must works just fine. Others says that you need to set up your car with the tuning option. Is also ridiculous that you have to set up every car before running because the car cant be handled at all.

When i started playing the game the game feels good, a little strange in the handling, but you can master it faster. The handling problems begging when you enter in tier 2, the cars starts to be more unplayable and when you get all the upgrades is almost impossible to drive.

I have played a lot of racing games with just the keyboard, and i can get real good at it, but with this is really difficult, but not difficult like the game is for pro people, difficult like they didnt know how to make it good. And theres no point on playing a game with all assistance on, thats no my way of playing it.

I am going to give it another try, the game is not all waste, is fun sometimes, but is not that great. If you want to try it, rent it first.
