This was as usual an excellent review. I have been playing this the last couple of days, and Tom hit most of the positives I see. It also has what seems to me an excellent driving/ racing model. Tom mentioned the lack of documentation for things, and that is indeed aggravating. The UI in general is just about the most obtuse I’ve seen in any racing game. Do a search online and you’ll find plenty of justifiable complaints about this. I almost rage quit the game over this last night, but I persevered, and I’m glad I did.
You’ll have to fight it in many ways, but beneath the obfuscation is an excellent sim/ game.
