I would agree with the people who have said GPL is too hard. I have been
able to be competitive at every racing game I have played, I can do ok at
GPL but the time spent finding good set ups and learning each car and track
is just too time consuming. I have a hard time believing anyone out there
who says that they can be competitive at this game with little practice. It
takes hours just to get one track/car combination to work competitively at a
track. I personally dont have that much time. Even F1RS is much easier to
learn and become competitive. They should have put a control for Computer AI
like Nascar has, a highly adjustable control so everyone out there can enjoy
fighting it out at their own level. That way we wouldnt even be having this
discussion and the reviews would be more favorable and people could be
having FUN quicker and for a longer time.
