   Very difficult to master. Expect many hours of frustration as you learn the proper driving lines and breaking points for each track. Success Very difficult to master. Expect many hours of frustration as you learn the proper driving lines and breaking points for each track. Success is dependent on this. The difficulty ramps up further when it rains. This is a simulation. Do not buy this game if your looking for an easy pick up and play experience. The AI is as good as you will find. The tracks look fantastic and the Ferrari's are all beautifully rendered with very nice cockpit views. Framerate has periodic stutter but I never found it to be annoying or detract from the overall experience. If you like this type of game I am sure you already own it.… Expand

   Playing this game with a G25 wheel and no assists using the cockpit view is a great experience. The feeling you get via the FFB of the wheel Playing this game with a G25 wheel and no assists using the cockpit view is a great experience. The feeling you get via the FFB of the wheel is really good, quite close to what you can get with PC sims like rFactor or GTR2. Yeah, the physics might be more forgiving than in PC sims but honestly quite good for console, much better and realistic than in dreadful arcades like GRid. IA is a mixed bag. Races are usually entertaining because IA cars will fight you for position, they'll block the inside line, they'll outbrake you, sometimes they'll bump you from behind, etc... I mean, you can complain that is far from perfect, but at least is far from boring and aseptic like in GT saga. Graphics are not great, can't compare to GT or GRid, but it doesn't ruin the experience. By the way, the wet races are superb. The range of tracks and cars, although not great, is quite good imo, I like the circuits included (I love Spa, man!) Honestly for racing games, I don't need 100 cars, because eventually I'll use the same 4 o 5 cars most of the time. After all I find this to be a very good game that unfortunately falls in empty land because it lacks the graphics to appeal the casual gamers and besides it demands patience and learning the handling. So, although it seems to be sim-oriented in their physics and handling, it lacks some details like damages, tyre wear... In the end, however, once you are in the track you forget all the minor issues and enjoy a good racing experience.… Expand

Don't be fooled, this is no simulation but rather a hard arcade game with inconsistent AI and physics. May pass as a sinulation to the young crowd or the casual console gamer but it's no more than a hard arcade game where you have to BEAT the game by yourself. No **** rewind, no stupid babysitting nonsense. Interesting concept of having to unlock ALL the content through racing. Honestly, I've enjoyed it quite a lot. It's got a few flaws, but it's definitely charming. System 3 have done a good job, you can tell they come from another era of gaming. Happens to be mine.… Expand

The same goes for other cars as well, their hood actually kinda looks longer than in real life and most of them have this generic turbo sound when you speed up even though they're not turbocharged. For a game dedicated to Ferrari cars, that's kinda disappointing. Overall not a great game... still better than GT6 though...… Expand

The difficulty setting in the menu has no noticeable effect. Some KI-Drivers are extremly slow and a few other extremly fast. That makes no fun for me.… Expand

La musique des menus est fort sympathique par exemple. Les intérieurs sont bien modélisés (sensiblement mieux que l'extérieur des ferrouzes d'ailleurs). Les bruits de moteurs sont corrects dans l'ensemble et ma foi, la conduite est relativement précise et les distances de freinage assez conformes à la réalité.
   
   Pour le reste, le blocage des roues est aux abonnés absents même quand l'ABS est désactivé, les sensations de pilotage sont en grève (le sous-virage n'a pas été pris en compte dans la programmation), la gestion de la motricité est assez légère pour ne pas dire dilettante et la difficulté est très élevée (se faire larguer en "débutant", c'est fort de café).
   
   Temps de chargements longuets, graphismes moyens, "moyens moins" même avec beaucoup d'indulgence, fluidité discutable. Les ralentis pas trop mal déconnent une fois sur deux. Décidément un jeu trop bâclé pour y apporter la moindre attention mais qui fait un honnête freesbee.… Expand

The tutorials barely helped if at all and I grafted hours into this game to try and rectify this and ultimately enjoy myself, but it wasn't to be. This was pretty rare for me. The wow factor in this game was nowhere near to be seen and for me this game was nothing but absolutely abysmal. Total trash. A complete waste of my money and probably one of the worst, if not the worst game I've ever played.… Expand
