Game:
Yes there are a lot less cars. think half or about 250 pieces roughly ... in the old, there were over 500. But who cares?
There are 250 cockpit in which you can enter. This is crazy and a lot of fun. If one goes into each car and starts the engine can smell the fittings formally :)
In addition, there is to all parts of the car background information and data. (Read by the "Meredith Grey" Grey's Anatomy Synchronsprecherin :) Top.
The physics etc is as ever of course top class. Everything behaves almost like in real life. Brake discs glow and block with hearty courage to use, for example. Oversteer, understeer, drifts, steering, acceleration all class implemented. SUPER.Respekt.
Graphics:
It looks really class. Ingenious lighting and shadow effects. The cars are really almost at the turn reality. If you take pictures you can see the barely there are car images from a game. It could be true. Displays your friends a picture and let them guess if it's real or animated. You'll be surprised :)
Some routes are indeed world-famous, but there are also new, such as Prague (What looks Graphically definitely the most impressive).
Conclusion:
Who loves cars BRAUCH this game. Very strong buy recommendation.
