If you like driving simulators this is as close as it gets to Gran Turismo, but with perks such as real-damage and different race types such as driving, pro touge, formula one and nascar.
There are many race tracks ranging from city landscapes to scenic mountains with different types of cars. They really have focused on variety in this game; the real damage tops things off portraying its realism.
I liked the concept that you can hire another racer to race for your country and earn points for your team as well as yourself. choosing the right racer depends on his determination, aggression and how trustworthy he is, plus a few more factors that can determine his performance on the track.
The graphics are amazing in this game but I'm sure the cars are not as modelled to the exact state of the original cars that Gran Turismo 5 are.
What really bothered me is that it's only a one player game unless you go online so really multiplayer is not as simple as get your friend to grab a controller and play against you; you would have to go online.
This game has more ups than downs but once Gran Turismo 5 hits the stores then this game will be set aside. The real-damage seems one of the major good impressions of this game.
7/10
