Yea its not realistic at all right now. Basically I broke a piece off the front license plate running into a car going quite a bit faster. And I notice some scuffing. But not real damage, this is supposed to have real damage, fenders smashed and everything.

 

Same here. I felt like a drifter in a Lotus. The best I got was up to 7th place then I spun.
I'll tackle it another day.

 

I'm patching to 1.02 right now.

 

Ummm why does the STi sound like it has equal lenght headers on it with a full race exhaust? Anyone try it out? Wonder if by me putting on the headers too, caused it to change the sound



Such bad lines
Driving with a controller is B****

 

I've noticed that most of the engine sounds are screwed up. My FC sounds like its a Honda

I hope thats something that will get fixed with a patch at some point...

 

Ya I agree. I understand that with so many cars in the game its bound to happen but you'd think these more modern cars they would try to get them spot on.

 

From autoblog:

 

I must agree as well. That Top Gear Special Lotus race was very difficult. Took me at least 10 tries before I finally got 1st place.

 

patch is taking long to install...

 

Because the JDM STI comes with equal length headers stock

 

Seriously.

 

Really... I truthfully did not know that. Ah and I call myself a subie enthusiast.

So, was it worth the wait?

I'm guessing no.

 

Worth the wait... no

That is why I stopped caring a year ago and decided the day it came out that I would check out Fry's to see if they had a copy left. And they did.

I am glad they did because... Is it fun still? Yes

While they have made it a bit more of a pain to get some of the cars for the different races, I am still fully enjoying the gameplay and the fact that they streamlined it moreso. It will not take you 500 hours to get 100% on the game now, but they have the world of online racing (granted, I haven't tried it yet, but I like the idea of racing other people)

Another thing I like are the new tracks they designed, though there are a couple points they would not design into a real world track, like a 360 degree turn, sharp drops, etc, they are not unrealistic on being in a real world road still.

In all, I still do think that GT4 is my fav (I have played GT3-a spec, GT4, an GT5), but I will wait to see till I get deeper into this one.

And that concludes my sorta novel for now. But yes, to answer your question again, if you like racing games, this is worth buying.
