Gamecenter GPL Review Is Up

I apologize if this has already been noted here.  The news server to
which I have access during the day does not always pull all posts.
Anyway, Andy Mahood gives GPL 5 x's at gamecenter.com.  Needless to say,
Andy loves GPL.  He does note the steep learning curve as a "con."  Let
next review debate begin from the opposite angle.

"It's a highly complex simulation that brazenly challenges its users to
dedicate weeks of their life to the practice of driving a high-powered car
with limited grip before any level of proficiency can be granted"

"the sense of accomplishment"
I think this is really why hard-core simracers appreciate GPL.  There is a
sense of self-satisfaction when doing a full lap at 'Ring without crashing,
or a 4wheel drift + a perfect braking zone into Nouveau Monde at Rouen,
etc..., etc...

The only bad point I found is this :

"If you like this game, you might want to try Need for Speed III: Hot
Pursuit or Andretti Racing."

!!!! ;-O !!!!
