This game has great elements for online gaming. The graphics have been dulled down due to the amount of online content to make everything run smooth. My pc runs this game on its highest settings without a single hickup. Travelling in a straight line going full throttle isn't too fast to miss anything important, but fast enough to feel like you really are going somewhere fast. This is only talking about straight lines though.
A huge, major and dissapointing flaw is the cars handle terrible. Even GTA4's driving physics are better than this. The cars don't feel right. They almost just seem to drive on artificial gravity, the steering way too twitchy and you can almost go 90 degrees around any corner at over 100k's an hour. The understeer is utterly laughable. This game boasts the best cars on the market today and they handle like rubbish.
To be honest. I think the graphics and traffic are exactly like Sims 3. If you've ever played Sims 3 the graphics are pasty (cartoonish but not unsightly) and you can see traffic in the streets literally whipping around any corner exactly like the Light-Cycles in the first TRON movie. Basically in a nutshell, this is an online driving simulator of Sims 3 that require unrealistic arcade driving skills.
This game is fun when played with real people. On your own it won't last more than a couple dozen hours. You'll likely be buying a new game to play by the next payday. Pity.
