"beautifully presented, great driving mechanism. "
Without doubt the best looking racer out there. The driving mechanics are brilliant, much less floaty than the previous version, now you really feel like you're in a heavy car and the crashes hurt. With a force feedback wheel this game comes alive as it tries to wrench the wheel from your hands every time you hit a rock.
Some people will no doubt miss the more purist rallying, but that's not to say it's not there, there's just a lot of other disciplines thrown in to the mix as well.
Great game that I expect to be playing for a long time to come, especially with it's excellent online options.
