Another impulse buy, I busted my arse all day at work on Saturday and decided to treat myself. It's like GRID with better handling, better everything really and the "CaRPG" aspects are done really well, the online is fun and your profile is persistent so that you can earn the myriad of badges and achievements playing solo or MP. It's just sim enough to keep older people like me interested, in fact the assists just make the game harder if anything, the cockpit view is great and really adds to the sense of weight and inertia you get driving a real car ,the sound is incredible too, spot on like a sim should be, you can hear when you're losing grip before there's any "sensation", all in all a really fun game.
