Just tried it out and it surprised me how bad the handling is.
The handling is so unresponsive, but straight and predictable at the same time that i feel like using grip hacks.
Heck its way worse than GTA III/IV combined and almost as bad as in Saints row 2, which is a total shame for a racing game.
Of course i spent only like 10mins driving and tested only Mazda 3, but i don't think its a vehicle problem, but the game engine...
I cant recommend this for anyone.
