Hehe, I actually agree Dano, I know I have not been any better myself, but actually this game can be entertaining. Dirt1 was not simulator, but it wasn't that bad either.
I think the reason why people judge is because they claim to be a sim, when they are not. If they just coul say the plan was to make an entertaining and fun game, I think people would accept more.
I mean, there are GREAT arcade racing games out there, but I think people is let down when a game claim itself to be a sim, then the handling and physics is at same line as the other game that tells it's arcade.
Either way, before I judge it I will try a demo or something. It looks damn nice, hope it drives good too. By all reasons, CM games earlier had a ok driving physics that was fun, but dirt was a little letdown tho. But I had some good fun in it too, when playing over at my mates house in some intence battles with him
(a destroyed controller and red nose after I showed him the propper way to push someone off the mountain).
