Seeing a lot of 1 star reviews, which is a little harsh. Yes, this game feels like it is in a beta phase and need LOTS of work, but at it's core it isn't broken (which is what a 1 star would be). The core driving is not as bad as a lot of people are making it out to be.
Should the game be better than this at launch? Absolutely, the graphics glitches (there are a lot), poor AI, inconsistent/incorrect flag rules, lack of ability to switch drivers on a given team in career mode, no stages, tire and fuel usage not scaling to race distance...yeah, there are a few issues. But to me that's not a 1 star, it's a 3 star. These things can-and likely will-be fixed. Hopefully before next year's game.
