Hmmm... also good logic. Just depends on if you're a gamer or not (I'm not, so I'm with you... that's several tanks of gas! )

According to the media, we're in a recession... and yet, according to that same media, this game is expected to gross some $300M - IN THE FIRST WEEK. That's what, about 5M copies of the game? If we're in such financial dire straits as a country, then how do they explain that so many people apparently have enough $$$ to spend on video games?

The video game company timed it so it would come out near the same time as the economic stimulus package.

Driving physics... it has more REALISTIC driving physics, which means you cant take a turn at 90mph and expect to not plow into a tree anymore. I hated it at first but really once you get the hang of it it makes weaving in and out of traffic more fun i think. also all the cars do handle differently... get a blista compact and you wont be complaining anymore

I agree tho, its a nice game and easily worth my $60 but def not GOTY. I havent seen the whole game but its not seeming as innovative as it was made out to be.

I think they took the "realistic" physics too far. To the point where it's like driving a boat or on ice. I am sorry, but my honda civic can make a 90 degree turn without sliding across the street at 15mph and it doesn't do a 500 foot burnout when you give it gas like the old PoS beaters in this game. They went from one extreme to the other. Basically it was just a difficulty increase.

its not THAT realistic... how much have you played the game so far? once you get the hang of using the handbrake you can powerslide around corners like a pro...

also i really like the city... it doesnt feel like you are the center of the world and the only ppl that exist are the ones close enough to be rendered.
