Ok this game runs short on cars and tracks compared to any of the Forza games to which I am an obsessed fan, enough of that.
The lack of quantity rather than substance is replaced with fast! great sounding! seat of the pants racing! that will light a spark in any racing fans heart. The earlier tiers of racing are quite slow but in return this lets the experience of gaining access to bigger better cars run smooth. The tier 4 cars and the Ferrari add on pack have a blistering sense of speed which can be controlled very well as the emphasis on raw power and speed are designed around the game mechanics.
The in-car view is awesome and surprisingly well balanced and proportionally accurate. Once you get a feel for the car handling and game characteristics the fun one can have on and offline is timeless.
I bought the collectors edition, but this game new to date cost less than a days shopping.
Hope this short note has given some help to making a decision on this game.
