I have just bought the Game, and i have to say that i was very dissapointed!
The car has no 'feel' to it. I've tried to set up my controller for hours to get it better, but no luck just yet. The car, when you go round a corner and show off, should step out, and you should be able to hold it very easily. Not the case! once the car steps out, 9 times out of 10 your going to spin!
There's no real feedback from the game.
I'm going to give it a couple of weeks, and then it'll probably end up on ebay!!!
Stick with LFS in my opinion, far more realistic.
