A great racer, with fantastic DLC

The game is by far a straight racer. You must have a wheel to really enjoy the game and feel the physics. The game takes time to master; I've enjoyed the PC games from SimBin for years now. This is a great taste for any GT/Forza 2 / PGR racer who thinks he can handle a real racer.
First, if you can drive with all ASSIST OFF, in Pro Mode, you really begin to understand where the game shines. Take the recent DLC Formula master Series.... at the newly released Japan Circuit and once you can manage the car and feel the track and really get into the rhythm of the race... you'll begin to realize just how good this game can be.
However, you must give it time.... just like FPS, it takes time to master the controls.
Graphics for me are a real let down, or this would have been a 10. Shadows are funky and pixelly. I run my 360 on a 37" LCD by Sharpe in 1080p and to be honest, the shadows are really poor and really screw the rest of the graphics.
I would recommend this game for anyone and at the 14 dollar GF price it's a steal.
Final thoughts, the DLC includes the awesome Mid-Ohio and 1970 Camaro's. Simply awesome combo!
