5 Stars Addictive and Fun
As a casual racing fan this game is awesome because you can just kick back, let your brain relax and just cruise around following the green lines and braking when they turn red. It sounds stupid but a game where you can just shut your mind off and drive is extremely useful for blowing off some steam.
The game becomes much harder when you start turning the “assists” off (like the racing line, assisted steering, and having damage affect performance). The game doesn’t really try to match the opponents to you, so you can easily cheat and get cars powerful enough to lap the competition. It’s kind of up to you? People I know do the same thing in Gran Turismo, so I think this game is offering the right set of options.
The cars and graphics are awesome and fluid. I kind of wish there was music while you are driving but I just listen to my MP3 player instead.
5 Stars The best emu-racing game for Xbox 360
This game is all you ever look for a racing emulation game. Lot and lots of playing hours and lots of online contents.
It may get a bit repetitive due to the racing tracks become monotonus, but then again this fact will help you win the races, make money to tune up your cars.
1 Star Unrealistic arcade-like driving game
This game has very little to recommend it (although it is only [...]). The graphics are ho-hum, there’s no in-car perspective (the best it can do is a hood-cam view), and the tracks are generally boring (except for the classic Nordschleife). There is a very wide selection of cars available, but most of them do not drive realistically (e.g., an inordinate amount of wheelspin sometimes, gear ratios that do not reflect reality, and features that the actual cars do not have). An aspect of this game that has been promoted is the ability to separately upgrade and tune each car. Sounds like a great idea, but it is poorly implemented here (e.g., what you do to the car and the resulting change in performance do not match). Bottom line: there is not a good console-based driving sim available; FM2 is arcade-like, much in line with competing titles.
5 Stars Very Realistic Driving Game at a Great Price
I was a late comer to the XBOX360, buying in Feb 09, and it’s also the first console I’ve owned. I’ve played many driving games on my PC’s over the years, but this is the best by far. Be aware, it’s not really an arcade game, but more of a driving simulator. You can’t keep the accelerator mashed the whole time and hope for the best, or bounce off walls to make the turns. You have to drive like you would in your own car - well twice as fast, but you get the point - breaking and sensible accelating definitely count. The graphics are great in 720P. Some have found slight fault with the crispness of the graphics compared to other games - unless you’re pausing and comparing it side by side with another, newer game, I doubt you’ll notice, especially at 200 mph. I’ve got my XBOX360 on a 52″ rear-projection HDTV - not the latest model, but it looks great for games. There are lots of cars, and with the platinum edition, lots of extra tracks. If you don’t have this one already and you like driving games, you really can’t get a better deal than this. [...]
5 Stars Awesome Transaction
I ordered the game on a Sunday and it arrived on Thursday morning. I was very pleased with the transaction, the game was sealed and brand new as advertised by the seller. Would HIGHLY recommend.
