An excellent game, especially for car enthusiasts.
-Solid, fun driving mechanics.
-Exceptional graphics and audio; great presentation.
-Hundreds of cars to choose from and dozens of ways to customize them.
-Numerous types of races, from sprints to rallies to endurance.
The Bad:
-The artificial intelligence has no intelligence...at all. The act as if you're not there.
-Too easy to slam off of cars because none of them ever spin.
-No damage model.
-Once you get to the endurance series (which actually doesn't take long if you know what you're doing) you can win a formula 1 car. Once you do, the game becomes so unbelievably easy that it's not even fun any more. And the difficulty level is anything but balanced. In my time with the game, I found that it was always too easy or too hard to win.
