Been playing this a bit. The three major issues I have:
1) Framerate artificially limited to 60fps - anyway to remove this cap?
2) If I try to force AA via nvidia control panel I can't get into a race (edit: GTX470 arriving tomorrow so hopefully the above post is correct!)
3) Ridiculous amount of screens you have to click through to actually play the game - not just the intro screens but also when you start a race there's loads of crap where you have to keep hammering Enter... then you win the race and win some awards and have to sit through yet more rubbish. Really annoying!
This is a bit of a double-whammy; given that I can only have 60fps, I'd like to be able to crank up the graphics to soak up some of my excess GPU power, yet I can't
As for the game, the handling seems a bit too easy to me - if there's a sharp bend, rather than slowing down and taking the racing line, it seems all you need to do is brake while turning to throw the back end out and angle your car inwards, and then fire up the nitrous to help you round the bend. Normally you think of NOS as being something to give you a speed boost on straights, but here it seems ironically the real value is when cornering as it lets you take bends much faster than you would be able to otherwise.
Graphically it looks good, real shame about the fps cap though, no doubt built with consoles in mind.
One thing I was a bit surprised as is that you don't seem to be able to get busted? Like when a cop takes you out your car is just reset after a couple of seconds and on you go?
