I got the chance to play this title recently

I recently got the opportunity to play this game on a business trip to Sony. The review truly fails to point out the serious control problems this game suffers from. Steering control is something to the effect of every tap on the directional pad equating to 15 or 20 degrees of steering wheel position. Tap right once and it adds 15 degrees of steering to the right. You have to tap left to recenter the wheel.

The analog controls just make this harder by apparently equating holding it further to one side or the other the affect achived by tapping on the pad at different rates of speed. The end result being that digital control is much better, and even then what should be a simple task of centering steering is nearly impossible.

Add to this the fact that the road surface seems to have all the friction generating power of oil poured on glass and you have a game which is more frustration than anything else. I suppose that it might be possible to master the control setup, at which point the game might become enjoyable, but the controls bear so little resemblance to actual driving (the difficulty of this is making sure you don't start s-tailing in sweepers and getting the car to go straight down the straightaways) that I still wouldn't call it a good driving game.

Ok this game is so bad that i got a virus after playing it

I hate this game, absolutely hate it. I hate it so bad that whenever I turned it off I threw up. I had the flu for a week. Don't get me wrong, I've tried to like this game so much that I played for a day. I have never hated a game, or even dislike one, but this one I hate a lot.

This is the absolutely worse driving game ever. I would rather play Pole Position than this game anyday. The controls are absolutely horrendous, with your car wanting to skid 24-7 on every turn. The in-view camera is even worse. The game attempts to copy Gran Turismo, but the game fails miserably at achieving mediocre status. To put it mildly, after purchasing the game, I returned the game within a day. Overall, get this game if you're desperate. Otherwise, stick with any other driving title -- even Looney Tunes Racing is much better than this.

Don't spend the Money

When playing with 2 players, the screen shakes every now and then.

The road doesn't change it's speed to reflect the car speed.

Very poor simulations.

Fortunately, I rented it :)

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!

I rented this game recently from blockbuster, and I think it is absolutely horrible! I am not this harsh on most games, but this game is the worst I have ever played. It is very difficult to control, and to drive the nice cars (ferrari,porsche) you have to win a lot of races. It is not enjoyable, very non-addictive, so-so graphics, and there is not a very good choice of tracks. The graphics of the cars are so bad you can't tell what kind of car your driving. The only good part of this game is that you can customize each car. Squaresoft obviously should stick on the Final Fantasy Series.

There are better Driving Games out there!!!

Alright, i love driving games!! Especially ones that look at feel like driving a real car. This game falls short on all counts. The graphics for the game are impressive, but that is about it. No attention to driving details. Steering reacts like you are driving a go-cart, and handling is very unrealistic. The problem lies in the fact that when the car turns it pivots from the exact center of the car. instead of the front wheels pulling the car in the diretion of the turn..

If you like driving games and want to spend your money on a driving game, go get Ridge Racer V, or GT3. This one is a waste of time...

One of the worst driving game

This game is one of the worst driving games that I have played. How bad? let say I played it for about ten minutes and quit! One of most important criteria in driving game is the feel. I used the regular keypad control and driving wheel. Like I said, I just did not like it. The only good thing about this game is the graphic. Fun factor is zero. Anyway, What good is it then if game is not fun after all!

Very disappointing ...............

I bought this and 11 other games for my grandson. He tried to play it for 30 minutes and gave up, hasn't played it since.

The controls are impossible to use -- I tried it myself.

Wal-Mart won't exchange it, guess I'll use it for a frizbee this summer.
