Still not sure if it's worth that much given what I remember of the reaction
here. Any honest/thorough reviews of it out there on the Web?
Thanks,

to take effect. Reboot now?

It's better than average, but still has ho-hum physics and nothing to get
too e***d about.
Unless there is a patch available somewhere the steering response is
pathetic (to say the least).

The truth is out there. You just have to look in the right places and ask
the right questions.
I'm wondering if developers, after spending a decent amount of time tweaking
it like mad to make it driveable and psuedo realistic while using a little
analog stick on a joypad, if they just directly map that stick's axis to a
steering wheel's movement and call it a day?
You'd think that one of the more important parts of porting a game to a
console is to port the controls properly.. re configuring whatever weird
response curvers were tailored to a little stick to feel right with a
wheel...
Pro race driver, i'm looking at you...

The steering problems are not unique to the PC version, it is just as bad
using a wheel on the DC. All the negative things you have heard are
correct. If you are expecting GPL, don't buy it. If you just want to have
some *arcade* racing fun every now and then when you need a break from GPL,
then in my opinion, yes, it is worth ten bucks. Good graphics, good weather
effects, good replays, A.I. can be fun to race, and the career mode can be a
fun way to kill time. BAD steering and no decent***pit view are the
biggest drawbacks for me.
