Review by Paul on 12th June, 2011
2 stars "A potentially great game completely ruined by one design fault."

This game has stunning visuals, a nice arsenal of vehicles to choose from, a great addition of the helmet cam making it seem even more realistic. But all of this is shot in the foot because of how light the car feels. If you even tap an opponent you get sent flying, a slight brush against a wall can have you spinning out of control, and just completely kills all realism. When im driving a 1.8 ton veyron and go into the side of a 1.1 ton maclaren F1 i shouldnt find myself flipping over it and throwing the entire race to some dramatic crash when the maclaren drives off at top speed like nothing happens… Yes in a real life race you avoid crashing into people, but when you are dealing with AI its already different to a real race.
