I already mentioned some of my feelings for this game in the Review and in Ric's earlier post.
I have a lot of points, negative and positive about this game, but I want to write down the positive ones first before I start with my hate-list ;)
1. The Force Feedback for my MS FF wheel is excellent.
2. The drifting is sensational, especially in combination with the above mentioned fantastic FF. I have not seen/felt anything like that in any driving game I tried over the years.
3. The braking distance. I love to have to slam the brakes sometimes for seconds when going downhill and even then just make the 1st gear corner.
4. The Force Feedback effects when the ABS (antilock brakes) cut in, it is such a small thing but adds so much to the atmosphere.
5. The inside car camera looks very nice and real for all the models. Not my driving camera, but I like to know it is there, and it is nice to look at once in a while. Some other game companies think that this is not necessary or cannot be done anymore, they should have a look at this and then say that again.
6. The dynamic AI strength, which makes it a very tough singleplayer game, that teach you that sometimes it is better to secure a second place rather than push it to hard and maybe end up finishing last :D.
7. The giant maps with the long tracks (up to 20 kms per lap)
8. The Missions, where you have to do certain tasks. I really hope for a Mission Pack addon or something like that.
9. The beautiful made Oldies and Exotic cars. They are the icing on the cake for me. It would be even better if there would be some more of them ;)
Thats about it from me for the moment, my negative list is a bit longer but as with many things you love you overlook the bad things and concentrate on the good side ;)
Feel free to add to that list and watch out for my hate-list :)
