I'm actually really pleased they are doing it PROPERLY, and not just going the crappy Sega Rally way of sticking 4 cars on track at once...blech.

This is a rally sim, people

I hate to say it scot but this is NOT a ralley game. Sorry but it just isnt. Sure they have ralley but it also has many other racing styles. Im good with the ralley racing being that way, but what about all of these other racing styles they included. You will be racing head to head in this game in many of the modes, why cant you do it against other users? I dont get it really, maybe they should have just focused on ralley if that all that works online. The game is basically handicapped in that way, almost unfinished feeling.

Lots of folks are not considering it a sim even. More of a sim/arcade style racer. And this isnt just because of the physics that people are calling arcady. After all you cant even select tire types. That btw is the singlemost fundamental decision to be made in offroad racing. You hear the interviews with these guys all the time blaming their whole race on poor tire selection. That goes for the announcers as well, commonly noting poor tire selection.

Ok, that being said, I may sound like a hypocrite about now but I will definately be buying this one. It should be loads of fun and codemasters makes great racing games.
