Is there a way to access ALL cars and the top gear track in arcade mode? All I see is a list of about 30 cars in the menu when I choose.

 

Ha ha Chris, I'm not a closet-dwelling geek, but I will give it another try. I only tried arcade mode because I wanted to test the driving physics, but I'll give career a try and see what I think. I don't suck at driving and I have a wheel (which apparently I can't use).

I'm not praising F1 2010 as the best driving game ever, but I'm having a hard time going from that to GT. Even when taking an R8 for a spin, I felt like I was driving a bus with slicks in the rain. I just couldn't get that "holy crap I'm flying around this corner" exhilaration. I also didn't get the feeling I really hard to battle the AI - either my car would be fast enough to keep up with the drones, or it wouldn't be.

 

Installing, this may be the longest 20 minutes ever

 

It took me 50 minutes.

 

yeah I knew it was going to take a while from reading this thread?

 

wait until it says 33 seconds.. it was only about 5 or 6 minutes after that.

 

ha it says 24 seconds.

Guess Ill have another beer

 

race time

 

awesome so far

 

Alright, I took Chris' advice and tried the GT mode. Definitely more fun, but I wouldn't say worth-being-delayed-2-years fun. However, I guess I won't sell it.

Still, the AI and damage is basically reminiscent of GT4 (e.g. shitty and/or non-existent).
