Been playing it most of the day.
Enjoying it for what I wanted out of it, drives fairly fantastic, it's got that open road nfs I was after. They've created a brilliant world, towns feel alive, the open routes with sparse homesteads, motels, garages ect.. The twitch streams iv'e been watching really don't do it justice, the game look far better in the flesh 1920 all up.
The only gripes I have are the onscreen menus that spring up and need clearing when you're still trundling down a road at 150mph after challenges, not so easy with the hand on the wheel flying blind in to traffic. They could be placed in a different part of the screen, aka not dead middle center view. The challenge gates also seem hard to avoid, you slightly skim one and your signed up.. not so great.
My gears on the g25 I have.. me being thick I presume, but they map ok in the game, just don't work.
All fun in day one, 3 weeks off work, im hoping I get into the find/collect um up
