Was I the only one who didn't like the demo at all? I like the television angle, and the BMW, and the headlights, but not much else. :) Griffin, the Slayer

Well I really like the game because its alot more competitive than GPL. I can run a race and not know wether Im going to win or come in last. GPL ive reached a plateau where (without a good start) i cant finish above maybe 8th-11th. It has gotten very frustrating (though Dave Noonans converter was godsend for me since i can win at the ovals....sometimes). But back to SCGT...its AI are more door-to-door type of racing with them. Ive had some great battles already and ive only owned the game about a month (got it the 2nd day it was out). In summary if your looking for GPLs complexity you wont find it here.....if your looking for a fun game that doesnt take 110% concentration to drive this is just what you want. Chris

I would say that as shipped in box, SCGT physics are between TOCA and Viper, but with the "Advanced Options" editor in "Pure Simulation" mode, it's actually more like in between Viper and GPL. (though, admittedly, much closer to Viper :) I've been having a blast with this game, and the recent outburst of new cars/dashes and even some track modifications has made it even more fun.
