I'm really starting to enjoy this game. I know it's not as legendary as GT3 A-spec, but it really fills the void nicely.
One thing I been having a blast with is all the ripped tunes I have placed on the hard drive to play as I'm racing. Sure a person can just put a CD in your stereo for basically the same effect, but wait... PRG seems to Cue the tunes just right so when I'm starting a race it really sets the mood to allow me to get my game face on! And it really separates the sound effects and tunes nicely in 5.1 dolby Digital, incredible if I may say!
One time I was just crashing all over the place sucking big time in 6th position, when all of a sudden U2's "Streets with no Name" kicked in to full force, I was racing through Japan "Shubuku" (sp) and it really made me focus and put me in the zone, I ended up winning the race. another time, I was racing at San Francisco's Fishermans Warf and Van Halen "Jump" was cued, right as I was jumping the streets of San Fran... too cool! I have about 45 tunes ripped, and still can select the games stock music radio stations which has cool tunes as well.
The cars are real pretty to look at during the replay theater, brake rotors glow red hot if you were braking into corners, you can see the driver shifting gears and steering. Sometimes depending on the camera angle, you can see the nice leather seats and textures in my Audi TT coupe, su-weet! What is hilarious is how you can see cones flying through all angles of the glass, so looking from the back window, you can see the pylon being hit with the front of the car, see it through the back window and front winshield.
The car damage is cool to see and very realistic looking, however it doesn't affect the physics modeling so I question why they even bothered with this, as it makes your car look beat after a tight race... I guess it just shows how much of a hack you were during the race :-)
Currently the cars I have unlocked are:
-VW Beetle RSR 4WD
-Audi TT Roadster
-Audi TT Coupe
-BMW Z3 Roadster
-Camaro Z28 RSR
-Porsche Boxster
This is a very good game!
