Anybody played this game?

Just bought it on Steam for $29.99

First off, the graphics of this game are so unbelievable, the environment, the tracks, the cars, the people in the crowd, everything is perfect. Could not possibly be any better.

Then the driving - It's not like NFS or Juiced or any of that crap, it's hard to get the hang of the cars but this game was designed so the cars drive exactly like they would on a track. Each car is VERY different and each car you drive, you can instantly "feel" the weight of the cars, even understeer/oversteer they claim is just like driving the car on the track.

Also when you're in races etc, in other games cars would crash into you, however in this they slow down if you cut in front of them cos in real life they wouldn't crash into you to push you out of the way etc.

Good feature in this game is the "Flashback" so if you get into a crash or ram into a wall, you can quickly go to flashback, go back in like 5-10 seconds and fix your mistake. Since it's so hard to control the cars, this feature is very welcomed, cos one mistake, such as hitting your tyre on a wall and there goes your camber, and your car is constantly steering to one side cos your tyre is damaged etc.

Very realistic.. I recommend this game extremely highly.

Don't expect to buy a sh*tload of cars and do your own mods etc, it's purely to give you the driving experience for what the cars would feel like on a track.

I only just started playing it 2 days ago but I sure am hooked!!

yep 8)

had it for ages now, Probably one of the best racing games out imo. Didn't end up finishing as it got kinda hard and i had other games to try out.

Another great game is Colin Mcrae: dirt if your interested in rally, the awesome thing about it is that one of the best cars in the game is the AWD pikes creek FTO rally car! :twisted:

Had GRID for ages, drift mode is the best one so far. Shibuya in the Jap season is absolutely awesome.

Yeah Ive had GRID on the 360 for a while and it was heaps of fun. I kind of gave up on it after I won the Zonda.

Ive also got Colin McRae DIRT which is by the same game developer

I'm officially hooked to this game.. God damn.. I havnt played a single console games since PS2 came out, got over it since I was 14 but this has got me back into it!!

yes finished it ages ago with wheel (check out my kick arse setup used to have in my gallery)

was fairly easy but addictive good concept but sure as hell not a simulator in anyway.

have been playng race pro lately and that is about as real as can feel so far until forza 3 comes later this year
