It looks stunning on the 360, no frame rates issues what so ever. All assist off with cockpit view is the only way to go for me. Coming from PC racing games it's hard for me to call it a full sim but it's more sim than arcade with all aids off.

I have no problem with the sim/arcade combo if it helps the casual non F1 fan become one.

Quite frankly I'm getting my tail kicked trying to find the limit. I've never felt like this playing an F1 game. I don't care what anyone says this game punishes you for not respecting the slow corners. Quick on the throttle and you will fail. It's that simple. Hate to sound like a broken record but the application of the slow corner physics is what makes this game special. Check the hairpin in Montreal for confirmation. You can't just bull around it you gotta be patient.

Ya. I think the game does a great job for people that just want to race but don't want to fight the controls or physics. There's enough threat of spinning out, wrecking and missing corners to provide a challenge without being frustrating.

Well said JRod. I have no problem with it at all and it's kind of what I expected. It's great seeing this many people in the racing forums.

I'm not blown away by the graphics on PS3 for some reason but the frame rate is consitantly close to 30fps it seems. You can just see that 60fps would have made this game amazing but with so many cars on track that had to be a challenge.

There is some nice detail in the garage that you can see using the free look stick, but I don't like what they did with the mirrors I'm actually shocked they didn't get this right for cockpit racers.

I gotta agree with bluengold, this has to be a console only thing. I just did a race at Monza in which the computer wrecked in the first turn. Gotta go PC for any realistic racers.
