When I first played this game, I was very disappointed. The menus and overall presentation were sub standard compared to other games in this genre. The game also had a number of bugs and performance issues, which are still present, even after the day one patch. The career mode I felt was, and is extremely difficult, even when playing on easy, and it doesn't really feel fun and enjoyable to play or very rewarding, as all the cars are unlocked from the get go anyway.



However having spent some time actually playing the game, I have to admit it really has grown on me, and I think it's a real gem of a racing simulation. The biggest problem however is the steep learning curve, it is extremely difficult to play, and probably impossible to master in my lifetime, given the limited time I have to play and practise.



It is such a shame that Kunos Simulazioni, did not make the game more accessible to beginners and casual gamers alike, as this game could have had a much bigger audience, and would have been much more appealing to the mainstream. I am not the best at racing games myself, and I only use a controller, but I do like my racing games.



The game is playable after making adjustments to the various stetting's, but even then, it is by no means an easy game to play or get into. Hopefully future updates will improve on things. I feel it is a good solid game, just not for the faint hearted, after all its a real racing simulation through and through. There is enjoyment to be had from this game, but you have to work at it, I guess what you put in, is what you get out,



Anyway my advise to anyone else considering purchasing this game would be to read all the reviews you can, watch all the videos you can and then if you still think you want this game, do yourself a favour and ask yourself "Do I really need this game?"



If after all of these things, you still think you fancy buying the game, then you will at least be in a better position as to what to expect.



Happy Racing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
