The starts off with some diffculty. After a few races and several tunes you get the hang of it and start winning and unlocking lots of nice rewards. It has a new helmet view from the drivers perspective which I highly recommend. All in all you like this game if you'll enjoy realistic racing. They basically took the first shift game and tweeked it for the better.

If you plan to play this with a wheel, do not.

There is a very bad input lag that cannot be fixed at the moment, and it ruins the experience quite badly.

The cars feel dead and floaty just like the first one, you CANNOT get your cars to oversteer at all, it's completely understeer.

All in all a terrible game that had potential but EA messed it up.

Bad

Nice features on paper but does not deliver.

After reviewing some of the major publication reviews I was expecting a game that would deliver, but the car handling was so terrible I put it down near an hour after trying. I've put a lot of time in GT5 and this doesn't feel no where like a simulation racing many are calling. I then tried to use my Logitech G27 and thats where I returned the game to GF. As some of the reviewers here have noted, there are a lot of issues using a racing wheel.

What bothers me the most is how IGN, Joystiq and a few others gave this game the same rating GT5 has.
