Talking 1st impressions...

So I bought the game today guys.

It's structured pretty similarly to Gran Turismo, and I felt my skills would transfer fairly well...I was wrong.

Took a while to get into it; I took my baby (Skyline GTR V-Spec 2) onto Nurburgring in Arcade mode and had a few laps of a familiar circuit, then went to Laguna Seca for a while before I started my career.

It's fair to say that this game is AWESOME.
I'm delighted, I've just finished the "Proving Ground" part of career mode and I've settled in well.
I have the difficulty set to full, apart from Anti-Lock braking which I just can't be without.
The simple fact that damage is on makes each race a heart-stopper, which is exactly (quite rightly) how I think it should be.
The only thing that is annoying me is that the game seems to think that even when the AI crash into me - it's my bloody fault and I get penalised.

Aside from that little niggle, I've nothing bad to say at all.
Happy happy happy days indeed
