You may want to wait a little longer.  Wink

Not sure which version you're running, but this game is buggy as hell, almost to the point of broken.  Sad

They are supposed to be releasing a patch for it soon, and I wish they would hurry, as I would like to finish beating the carreer mode.  Roll Eyes

You may want to browse here before buying it: http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=214


Other than the bugs it has, it's a killer game, and if/when the patch comes, and if it delivers, this will be a 10/10 game,  right now, it's more like a 5/10.  Embarrassed

Yeah this is the demo so its relatively bug free and I can run it full on maxed out with 4xAA. Yes I am aware of the patch coming out and it looks like it solves a lot of performance issues.

Demo is so buggy, and you have to wrestle with the car for control... it always seems to turn too much. :/

The patch is out today for the PS3 version, and the XB360 & PC version will be released on Dec. 1st


On Dec. 3rd in the UK, and Dec. 10th in the USA, a free DLC pack containing 5 new cars (American muscle), and a new race mode will be released.






I'm really not that excited by the new cars or mode, but free stuff is always good.
Cool

Is there a Corvette in the game? If there is, I might just have to get it  Cheesy
I do like my Corvettes  Grin

It has the 2008 Z06, and when the DLC comes in, there will be the 67 Stingray. Cool

I personally would have prefered some Ferraris, or some LeMans or Rolex cars,  American Muscle just isn't good for road racing (excluding the Trans-Am series of course.  Wink )

I personally would have liked to have seen proper handling and cornering physics. Not the usual pinhead center of the car turning that that insist on. But hey thats just me.

I agree. They put too much emphasis on this being more 'sim' like than previous NFS titles, but I think it's actually just less 'arcade' like.

It's just a nice tide-me-over until GT5 comes out.  Cool

The patch did it's thing though. At least now I can finish it. Smiley
