I wonder if this might be one of the best PC games ever....here's why...
1....Graphics look pretty good and is geared towards gritty and realistic rather than pretty and cartoony like GRID.
2...works extremely well with my xbox 360 controller{not recommended you play this with your KB}
3...engine sounds are pretty good
4...has at least 7 great cars+another 3-5 very good ones....and also has a number of cars which don't appeal to me, but might appeal to others.
Ferrari Enzo*.....330kph
Ferrari F40 racing*
Corvette
Saleen
BWM extrreme WTCC.....290kph{handling machine+ 10 000rpm gear changes}
Mazda*....345kph
Conisegg....355kph
* free DLC via mod community
5.....Has 60+ tracks including the incredible Nordschielfe{sp}
7....enables you to vary no of opponents and opponent skill level, ie, 80-105%, thus between the cars, the tracks, the skill level adjustments and the ability to vary the length of races, gameplay is almost endless.
8.....cockpit view has a strong sense of realism and includes bumps, shakes and vibrations.
9....has novice, semi-pro and pro modes....and with xbox controller and in novice mode, is very easy to drive and immediately have fun, but does have a learning curve if you want to go pro and drive competitively.
10....AI very good.....not perfect, but pretty good.
I can see myself playing this indefinitely, and until something comes out that blows it away, I'll be playing and enjoying it.
FYI....I'm at 1920x1200 16xAF and level 2 AA with most of the in game settings maxed on my 4850.
