Try 480p, I find I prefer it to 1080i, which I admit was a bit of
hype.
Also try running a lap or two around the Nurburgring. Amazing.
Yes, it is pretty much GT3+. No surprise. Yes, I wish they
addressed the many issues fans have been screaming about since GT.
But do a few laps of the 'ring or La Sarthe with a FF wheel. If
you are into cars and racing (or hotlapping), you will probably
say: Yes, this is damned fun!
