I can actually appreciate it just for that last part haha.
I shouldn't be so harsh on the game. Its like Kingofthering said, don't expect any likeness or simulation to real car driving or feel, and you won't be disappointed. I think the only thing remotely close to real life aside from the killer graphics/design of the cars would be their sounds. I think they did a decent job of getting those right. I haven't driven enough cars in the game yet to be sure though. If you're in one of those gaming moods like in GTA where you just cruise around and wreck things for the hell of it, this game isn't such a bad candidate. Just tear into a 6 pack (or two) and have some fun.
