7.5/10 Fair perspective. 9.5/10 Personally.

It's an arcade/sim which does lean much more toward sim than arcade and is the most realistic grid game to date, the only negatives to this game are the racenet website, which you have to use to join, modify or create clubs and the cockpit view while gets the job done and still gives you that immersive feeling, really could have done with a bit more attention.

The online experience is great, smooth gameplay even with players from all around the globe racing together. Great voice chat and mostly grown up drivers. There is a system that punishes players for the amount of impacts they have been in or caused which is proving to help players race more clean.

As for the sim elements of the game, the cars do all have a unique weight and balance feel to them and behave differently under varying circumstances. You have to use your brakes to be competitive in this game and to set the fastest pace. Accelerating at the wrong times or under heavy cornering will produce understeer or oversteer depending on traction, this will throw you off of the racing line or apex which causes you to have to overcorrect the next corner thus, slowing you down and pushing the car to it's physical limitations to stay on the track.

Underrated game in my opinion, it's a shame it's reputation was tarnished from Grid 2 and people aren't giving it a go, or it could have been one of the biggest racers to hit consoles and PC. I hope it eventually gets the credit it deserves. Well done Codemasters, I was skeptical but it has been money well spent.
