Title: nice graphics, but physics model is weak
Review: Very pretty graphics, mediocre sound, and the net code doesn't handle lag very well. The games biggest shortcoming is that the developers have no concept of real world car handling. The game has an assortment of front wheel, all wheel, and rear wheel drive cars. All of the rear wheel drive cars behave as if you were driving around with your right foot on the floor in the rain. I realize that probably very few young programmers in Europe have ever driven a rear wheel drive sports car, but come on. In this game, they ALL oversteer wildly with the slightest steering input at any speed. From the base models to exotic Lemans Prototype class cars. Even the '66 Shelby Cobra, known to have very nice neutral handling, is a disgrace. Some of the cars and racing are fun briefly, like everyone racing in identical Alfa's or Mini Coopers, but the fun fades away quickly. Maybe a future version will be worthy.
