Perhaps in the future we will be participants in an online version pitting eleven competitors at a time against each other. If so, I hope the actual game play is tightened. If not the preceding scenario would be a total debacle. Play is frustrating to say the least. While offering a great challenge, very few of us will actually be motivated enough to see this game to its completion.
Races are tedious at best.
Even after you have mastered the loose control, you'll find that this game is downright boring. If you already made the mistake, at least it will take you a great deal of time to win the championship races. This, as well as fiddling with the many options, could in fact warrant a slight replay value. If you have yet to buy this game, I suggest you rent it first. In almost all cases, a brief rental will ensure that anyone who was at one time interested, will no longer be interested at all.
