Quality 
Just a shame (by the sounds of it) that they haven't improved the damage model. Surely if consoles can recreate it well enough in their games (not forgetting the brilliant damage model in Colin McRae on the PC) then they could do it with this, too?
Either way - I want it!

PAH! You can do both at once. Get pissed and then play GTL!
I actually find it quite disturbing how I can shave a few tenths of a second off my laptimes in GTR after I've had a few tins. :S
Let us know what its like though!

Come on Lee - what's it like?
I nipped into PC World earlier and they had it on the shelves at £34.99 (hmmm, bargain :S ) but I'll have to wait until the end of the week before I can order it from Play.
The screenshots on the casing look great. Have you managed to have a go of the 911 yet?

Ok m8 - no probs.
I'm the opposite to you in that I've got F.E.A.R but haven't installed it. Not sure if my PC spec is even up to it, bearing in mind that CoD2 is like a slideshow on mine.... :dapprove:

Have been playing GT Legends most of the weekend. Its fantastic, much more enjoyable than GTR. These older cars are much more involving to drive. You really feel the differences between each car too, it's quite a challenge to switch from say a Corvette that understeers all over the place to a little Lotus Elan that quite happily drifts through every corner :approve:
The single player cup section of the game is good, a bit like Gran Turismo with sets of small championships with varying classes of cars and tracks, winning money which you can use to buy other cars.
You'll need a fairly meaty PC to get the best out of it, but some of the races are awesome. Starting at the back of a fields of 33 odd cars, all smoking and sliding their way down the craner curves while being half blinded by the sunset is interesting

Good stuff Nik.
I must admit, one thing I found crap with GTR was the fact that the physics engine couldn't really handle power-slides and oversteer. Yet even in the GTL demo, I found it remarkably straight-forward to maintain an Elan's drift through a sweeping bend - constantly twitching the steering wheel slightly to maintain the correct line. Clearly, they've made massive improvements as far as thats concerned.
That's it. Even if I haven't been paid yet, I'm ordering it now!

The force feedback is the best i've found in a game. Up to now i've never felt comfortable on most car sims with my wheel, its always made the driving too twitchy and nervous so i've usually turned the forces right down. I mainly put that down to the wheel being rubbish, but it really seems to feel right on this game.

Jeezuz - how good does that look???!
As for the online CS race - definitely. Probably weekends is the best time for me. What about everyone else?

Finished F.E.A.R, thoroughly enjoyed it.
I installed GT Legends and had a bash for half an hour, I did the first race a few times, finishing second on the hardest difficulty level. I'll keep at it until I win of course.
I couldn't be bothered to un box my decent wheel so used the old MS Precision racing wheel.

Fecking 'ell - were you that good on GTR as well??? If so, there's no point me racing you - I won't stand a chance!
I found it really hard to race the CPU oppostion in GTR. They seemed to have additional benefit at the start - almost like they didn't have cold tyres and stuff. The grip and positioning of their cars through the corners was a bit iffy if you ask me - especially when you were behind in exactly the same car...

I nearly threw my steering wheel out the window last night. In the later stages of Cup C and the AI drivers are starting to get a little better and more aggressive.
I lost count of the amount of times I've started to accelerate out of a corner only for the car in front to have a moment or decide to block me then slamming on the brakes, causing me to end up facing backwards in the gravel after taking avoiding action (these cars dont know what brakes are). The Lotus Elan is a b*tch to drive if you havent got the setup right! Excellent AI though

Imagine if they did a mod where crashing was the whole point?! A mixture of Flatout and GTL - that would be quality....
