It definitely does. The only thing that I was kinda surprised at was the learning curve. From playing GP4, I expected to take quite a while to be able to bring the fight to the AI, and my first few quick races certainly proved that. So I bumped the difficulty down a notch to try a full GP weekend. I was having trouble doing competitive lap times on time trial and quick race, but suddenly I got the hang of the car and was able to put the hammer down on qualifying to do 4th with the Lotus. Do note that I wasn't on highest dificulty, but perhaps the AI thing being too easy might be true. I'll try it on hardest tonight again.

Also, that qualifying took place in Bahrain, that for some reason I drive pretty well at...even the new sector was easy to get the hang of. In Melbourne I still can't string 5 laps together without spinning

alas my laptop cant handle it. pentium dual core with 8400gm. i think I will buy the ps3 slim to properly play this.

my laptop certainly won't be able to handle it.

chances of my 360 dying within the first week of buying 2010: high.

great place to be then! thank god for civ 5 the same day, although I'm not sure this laptop would handle that either. it should...

Civ 5 is pretty heavy. At least the demo is. Not sure about the final game. It's heavy on graphics at least. I had to put everything on medium to low on my PC running a 9600GT. Not sure about the impact on CPU as I am running a Core i7 :D

F1 2010 was the opposite. Everything set on high.

tomorrow i will buy the game for pc, but will see if my laptop can handle it lol...most likely not : D bro got the game today for ps3 and it was great to drive, graphics were not that special on ps3 so pc version will much better on that part

Who's got the game on PS3 now?

Need to have some online races tonight people!

Get it quicker!

What's your PSN ID?

Online is so much fun

I've won 3 out of 4 races so far, the penalty system is good, it adds time to your race, so even if you finish first, you can still end up last if you cut the corners.

Just checking the custom online options and you can do so much, it'll be great to play some serious players, too many first lap accidents :P

But i'll admit, i did cause one before, the braking distance to turn one at Suzuka is deceiving

sounds like you're having fun.

WHO'S ON XBOX?

My Gamertag is under my sig.

My online name is RicoRBR, feel free to add me. (im not at home at the moment) Unfortunately i wont be able to get it earlier then tomorrow :p I'm really turning mad from desire at the moment :p

My PSN ID is madotter if anyone wants to add me, would be great to do some online racing with the people here

Just been playing the PC version tonight. With the right editors in time *fingers crossed* this will be even more awesome than it is out the box.

Sure, there are errors, but to any willy nilly out there buying it, this sure as hell will satisfy them. Can only do wonders to sales figures, which to us, means a guaranteed series of sequels and thus more dev. funds and progress.

This will produce better and better racing games, as the quality of current shooting games shows, from their popularity.

Highly satisfied so far!

*must add, I showed my dad, put him in hotlap mode at a wet spa, to see eau rouge (he is obsessed with that, jean alesi and the 1995 season haha). what a moment to discover that he is an absolute god of the xbox 360 controller, first time ever playing a computer game, and he destroys both mine and my brothers times. He did demand we get the wheel and pedals from the loft, as he said the controller didnt do what he wanted steering wise, and pissed him off. Cant wait to see him on the wheel on the 42 inch led tv!!!!!!
