Short info about me as a player. I am an absolute motorsport fan - the Nürburgring is my second home and long distance races my great love (VLN / 24h race.). But in general I see me every motorsport on 4 wheels around the world with great passion. So for me, games have to be as realistic as possible and give me the feeling of self-drive to be in a real race. On the PC so far games like GTR2, GT Legends and on the PS3 Gran Turismo 5 have met my needs best.
There was so much to say - the above points are top. The car selection is versatile and succeeded. There are almost all routes present the desires Motorsport heart. The abundant inappropriate advertising and surroundings on the Nordschleife can be forgiven. Visually, the game looks good, not exciting, from. The sounds do not always faithfully but true flair. The small cutscenes and race modes (eg. Long-distance races) are interesting and engaging.
So far, all well and good - shot first round in the game, and already everything was clear. This game is good, unfortunately, absolutely nothing at all, despite all the positive characteristics. For what bring beautiful content when, as often described here, is the control for the garbage and driving just do not want to make fun with the best intentions. A so unrunnable control I've rarely seen and that there are actually people here to deny it, and praise the control, I find shocking (as purchaser If we focus so on the reviews). Even after I had control readjusted slightly in my direction, which brought not much - a flat tire can not be repaired by pumping nunmal. The vehicles like boats glide through the trails and it's harder on a straight line, floating to drive from one side to the other side, do not depart by the curve.
I am, however, a die-hard racer who has tried to push even the good parts of the game to the fore, I have gotten used to the iwann Ruderei and had momentarily fun to drive through the lowest classes. When I arrived, however, where I wanted to go - the first Nordschleife challenges - should therefore go and the fun only really, it then be final over. Because when I realized that I checked on my favorite track, the Nordschleife, with the Rutscherei only by throwing one corner to the next, at the Döttinger Höhe not yet times could go straight on (and to push all this without, in absolute survival Schohngang) was the oven from then - I had the fax thick and the game is good since gathering dust on the shelf. Recently again willingly a trial started but immediately recognized why I did not feel more on this EA joke.
So bottom line is I'm waiting continues for the ultimate PS3 racing game and turn until then my Nordschleife laps with GT5 in online mode. Because since I can at least go to a detail-oriented Nordschleife race - rather than desperately to advertising signs over to rowing.
