I genrally think its an awesome game, more so online
Played it for the first time last night and literally couldnt put the controller down for 3 -4 hours, driving with corner line only, abs off,brake assist off, Auto tranny , T/C medium and tyre wear on.
was really hard to get into at first but after 2 races in getting pole position with ease, might have to up the difficulty a bit.
online however was pretty dam good, Not knowing how good your opponent is and what he will do in corners etc is awesome, no lag at all on the 360 live,
The only downer i have against it is... They could have gone into more depth with the career mode i.e training , better interviews and on the track interviews ( like bbc ) commentators wouldnt go a miss... and my pet hate about online, EVERYBODY just smashes into you on the first bend if your not on pole
Think it would be good to have some forum races soon, very entertaining.
