Hard to master - but great fun
By KipperFillets (2 reviews) , 24 Jun 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
This game can be rather frustrating at first - it's all-to-easy to just spin around when you're accellerating off, but when you're used to the controls it's very rewarding.
The most impressive aspect is the replay of a race, where you can view from most angles a frame-by-frame replay, in forwards/reverse. It's like watching crash tests!
Download the demo on the PS3 to get a good idea of what it's like and if it's for you.- Was this review helpful to you?

(24)Fabtastic game
By gazzy360 (6 reviews) from Wirral , 31 Mar 2013Fantastic game. Great visuals without the boring realistic handling crap. Best racing game I've ever played (and I was a big Forza fan). Had to buy the game after renting. Cannot wait for the sequel.- Was this review helpful to you?

For armchair drivers only
By HappySpaceInvader (9 reviews) , 20 Jun 2011The main problem I have with this game is that it looks as if the developers wanted to make a top quality driving sim, and then someone from marketing told them to dumb it down to be more accessible for non-drivers.
Thus, for all the amazing graphics, great cars and tuning options, the actual driving experience itself only really works with a joypad - as soon as you plug a steering wheel in (particularly a high end racing wheel like the Logitech G25), it all falls apart and the cars become virtually uncontrollable, no matter how much you tweak the various wheel options.
There's nothing wrong with that - armchair players have just as much right to have a decent racing game, but it's a shame when you consider how well other games such as Dirt and the recent F1 manage to work well across both camps.- Was this review helpful to you?

GOOD BUT NOT WHEN THE SUN SETS
By a customer from BERKSHIRE , 22 Nov 2009THIS IS A GOOD GAME BUT ALL CODEMASTER GAMES ARE STRUCTURED VERY SIMILAR AND THEY CHARGE FOR CODES VIA PHONE WHICH IS MEAN. THIS HAS THE BENEFIT OF REWIND WHICH IS A SMART FEATURE BUT DISRUPTS THE FLOW OF A RACE A FAIR BIT. THE BEST THING IS THE SENSE OF SPEED, THE WORST ARE THE NIGHT STAGES WHICH ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE AROUND. WORTH A GO.- Was this review helpful to you?
