If you are into cycling, give this a try. I have bought and played each pcm and I haven't been disappointed yet. The learning curve takes some time and can be frustrating if you don't get results. But when you start winning it becomes addictive. Just loading up on talent doesn't get it. You have to be good at management of every little detail of your team. Depending on your team budget the challenges work out different for every team. The only reasons I didn't give this perfect 10 was during races it can be hard to manage all of your riders. Not a big issue. Also the sprinting is not very realistic. If your rider is not a sprinter he has no real way of winning a flat finish (even with a good lead). There are patches to fix this though.
The visuals are very good but nothing overwhelming. This does not hinder gameplay in any way though. If there would be anything I would like to see would be stages (especially national champion races). Overall the product is well worth the money and time.
This is the funnest game I have ever played. I cannot really explain why, but if you know anything about cycling, get this game and play it. I got it for Christmas last year, and I still would like to play it everyday.... Read Full Review
