If people can post your impressions of the game I'd appreciate it. I'll stick to Forza 3 for a bit but I hope GT5 will be good.

The lack of mechanical damage is kinda crappy, reading on some forums you can shift from 4th, to 1st and it'll just bounce off the rev limiter continuously causing no damage. Can anyone confirm?

I preorder with you guys, as a loyal customer and you screw me. they tell me sorry, and i tell them this is unacceptable, one of your staff let me preorder and now you can't deliver because the staff's mistake. being how EB loves to play the loyalty game, i got my 100

odd that most of the major game review websites don't have reviews up yet. They usually have reviews of games up ahead of time don't they?

I think all reviews that are out within a few days of this games release shouldn't be accounted for.

lol gamespot is so full of it. they lost all credibility when they fired a staff member for giving kane and lynch a bad review (since eidos had HEAVY advertising on their site) and half of their staff quit.

was it any surprise this game would flop?
not saying its a terrible game, but was not worth the wait.

i think ign said it best in their concluding sentence:

".....this could have been a masterpiece were it not for the fact that Polyphony was so absorbed with the detail that it took its eye off the ball."

I just love racing sims.. As long as the game itself is good I could care less about 100% real graphics.

Been looking at Toys R US, it doesnt say anywhere that it will take off an additional $10 off after price matching. This is all I could find http://www.toysrus.ca/helpdesk/panel...find#guarantee

Can someone post the link. TIA
