Yes, that's right. I said poop!

Gameplay is more important to me, gave GRID a go but not realistic enough.

That's what I meant. GRID is an arcade game with sweet graphics, which is fun to play. GT5 is a poor attempt at a simulation, also with amazing graphics, but not very fun to play. This looks to be the Simulation, with awesome graphics, that is actually FUN.

Should have been more clear.

I know, I know. But after playing GRID, this game looks like it's made for children. The colors are way too bright.

Holy moly!

This game looks like a "MUST-GET" for txtmstrjoe!

If it plays anything like Race07, which I would call a "fun" simulation (as opposed to something like Live for Speed -- which I haven't tried -- or rFactor, which are for sim junkies), then I'll likely not leave my apartment at all except to go to work!

Thanks for sharing!

That's only because GRID is one of those 'new' games that uses HDR and makes everything a shade of brown... All the colours in that are covered up with HDR

txtmstrjoe - i can see why you say its a 'fun' simulation, but its around the same as rFactor is, because they run on the same engine. Where it differs though, is rFactor has all the different mods - some of which are very realistic.

Judging by the pictures this game doesn't have HDR, so the color doesn't look as good as Grid. But if they tweaked the physics I would give it a go. I'm a big GT fan, so I'm not used to the commplete sim physics of GTR.
