Exactly my problem with it. Handling seems to have done a GT3 -> GT4 route, not good in my opinion. Still it might be a grower.

First Review

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/103/1033110p1.html

It looks ok but even with all assists off it seemed too easy compared to gtr evo and Shift. none of the cars in the demo could oversteer even if you tried to.

For me and some others, this title is just a filler for the real deal coming out sometime next year.

The 8 player grid racing and lack of practise and qualification is a disappointment for me as was Shift with only 8 car grids. If you played gtr evo you would see how great a race is with 20+ cars.

The graphics look nice, could be better though and the customizable paint i do not care at all as i just wanna "race".

I hope to god that you can unlock cars and earn alot of credits through online racing as i cannot be asked to do career mode. I only did career mode on forza 2 so that i can unlock and upgrade my cars but career mode got boring pretty quickly.

In forza 2, when you win a race, you hardly got any credits. Its as if their was "more" incentives in winning against the ai then against real human opponents? shouldn't it be the other way round?

Like Footy games, i care more about online than offline as the AI on both counts are shocking and this review even mentions how the AI is either super easy or super hard.

Im still going to pick this up though but this is just to fill the gap for me for when the other racing game comes out.

You can play shift offline with 16 car grids. Having that many online would just mean you're even further from the front j.o.s.h! (just kidding - get back online, shift seems to have wiped my friends settings).

Job done on their part then It doesn't matter if it's not as good as a game that doesn't actually exist yet.

haha surely 10 more drivers cannot surely be as good as you and JC yea i might come on sometime this week or in the weekend seeing as fifa 10 doesnt "work" online

When does Rfactor 2 come out? for me that could be the real deal as i doubt GT5 will be as realistic has that

IGN - 9.4 / 10
Gamespy - 4.5 / 5
Nowgamer - 9.2 / 10
Teamxbox - 9.5 / 10
Videogamer - 10 / 10
G4TV - 5 / 5

Sounds like it might be alright.

I would be shocked if a lead title like this could get bad reviews - I'm sure that as a game everything pretty much works so as long as it's better than Forza 2 then it'll get good reviews. That it hasn't got straight 10s accross the board does indicate that it could be better though.

At the end of the day I'm sure it's a good game, but not sure it's enough to make me buy an X360.
