Gamespot gave it a great review of 9.2 out of 10. It's 4 pages and too long to post. However, a few high points:
- Dynamic tutor where a line appears showing you how to handle a course, when to accelerate, brake, etc. This is great for me, since I'm not particularly good at racing games although I enjoy them. Of course, this is a feature you can turn on or off.
- Multiple realistic aids including anti-lock-breaking among many others which will again help the novice such as myself.
- Realistic AI!!! The AI isn't just following a set course. According to the review, if you play cleanly they will race fairly cleanly but aggressively. However, if you bump them quite a bit, they will become downright nasty. Also, they will make mistakes. Sometimes spectacular mistakes!
- The programmable AI where you do some training courses and it creates an AI that races like you and you can use in the dynasty mode sounds great!
I'm hopeful that my wife got this for my anniversary (which we are celebrating tomorrow), but if not I'll be sure to get this on Thursday
