Anyone got it?

Thoughts, opinions, favourite cars, annoyances?

After playing the Jap version a few months back I notice the UK version has two more tracks: High Speed Ring (giggle) and Daytona Road. Both of which are actually pretty good, teh HSR course is one of may favourites from GT1 so was a welcome return. I think the weakest course out of them all has to be teh mountain course Eiger Nordwand (or something like that). It was good in GT2 but now looks a little bland and outdated. I notice that it hasn't changed really from the GT:HD demo when the PS3 was launched. There are a lot of cars though and they all are modelled beautifully (yes even the crappy Suziki Cappucino!). The in car cam is one of the finest things ever. The best bit is when you look behind in something like a Ford GT or Ferrari F430 and all you see is a great hulking engine blocking the rear window. Aweseme. Overall there are plenty of Evnts to keep going but I think the prices of the cars are way too high considering the longevity of the game. You'll have to do many races over and over just to afford them. I guess they want you to get online and earn credits that way. Which brings me to the next point. While the online part is okay it needs a lot of work. In thoery it should be great but the whole ghosting things ruins the experience in my book. They did it to avoid ramming but that's part of any online racer, you just give abuse to the drivers who ram you and move on. Anyway, I would give it 4/5.
