    Well, just picked mine up today and I have to say so far I am not impressed with it. The 430 and 599 understeer very badly. (Logitch Driving Force GT, Playseat) The TC, ABS, TS settings just plain stink. There seems to be no car setup at all. All the tracks look like you are racing on an airport circuit. (65" HDTV) On the plus side the ability to customize the paint schemes is awesome. I just with they'd put as much effort into the racing mechanics. Glad Gamestop will let you take a game back within 7 days because I doubt I'll be keeping this one.

    YMMV.

    I have the grid demo, and I feel like the game play and graphics are similar. It's no gran turismo but I still enjoy playing it.

    So I picked my copy up from GameStop on the way to taking the kids to see Wall-E. Now I have to go grocery shopping and laundry before getting a chance to pop it in the PS2.


    Will this torture never end?



    On a side note, I did recieve my plate frames from F of Denver today too. Thanks guys if you're reading this!

    +1 but DAMN this is a kick ass game. It's like forza on steroids but all Ferraris. I'm giving my Xbox a minimum 3 week break. Driving feel is an A+ The only negative is the gear change sound. Too loud, sounds like fireworks.

    Based on what I think your standards are, I imagine you will concur. I still need to play it again though...I just did one race at Monza and that was it. Initial impressions were that the game felt 'dated'-driving physics, graphics & sound.

    Has anyone tried playing online yet? It maybe due to the fact the game is so new & there might be server issue but I cannot seem to stay contacted for very long. I did however get into one game but ended after one lap, I got an important family phone call that I had to deal with.

    If anyone wants to start an FChat league, let me know. I'd be more than happy to host some races on a weekend.

    Had to update this because I was wrong on the setup point. You CAN change the setup but only in Challenge Mode. Which really stinks because it would be nice to be able to do this is Time Trial Mode to practice on the track. I still find the 430 and 599 "squirley" under braking even on beginner and with ABS to max. Ditto for acceleration and the TCS. And the driving dynamic seems to go to lunch at least once a race. (The car will suddenly lurch for no apparent reason)

    As far as the tracks go, my airport comment did not mean flat, but a lack of "depth" if that is the right word. In DiRT and GT5p you get a sense of "speed" so you know you should be braking at a certain point on the track. I don't get that feel with this game.

    So far my over-all opinion remains the same. This game is just not as much fun as DiRT, Grid, or GT5p. I'd say wait and get it used.

    After plaing the game more last night, I think you right on as far as the tracks. It's realy hard to get a sense of where you are on the track.

    I'll check some stores I know for the game and see if I have any luck otherwise we might have to get it from the US or something. I'll go out right now and check.

    Yeah I kept thinking I was coming to the start line on this one track so I slowed down (thinking it was the end of the race) and cars passed me and I lost :( I like the ferrari challenge card game! Sometimes it cheats but it's kinda fun, I wish you got some kind of reward for winning though. I have the gamestop edition 599. I'll post the cheat code on here later.

    Geez I go to work and now look how far back I am.

    I unlocked the 348 by winning monza so I think you unlock cars by beating races.
