that is ****... i borrowed a ps2 off a guy at work, with GT4, and
seriously the best thing about it was just watching the cars spin in the
showroom... the models are SO good, but the racing was ****.. i didn't
get a chance to hook my logitech momo up to it but i probably was better
off not trying.. twitchy controls, over-forgiving handling and quite
boring overall, with the most ridiculously long and drawn out menus i
have ever seen... the 'ring was good but when i can jump in first go
with a control pad and complete a clean lap without trying, that is
WRONG.. that track should punish me

i went and played forza and actually realised that apart from the
pitiful car models it actually felt better in every respect... but still
not good enough...

rfactor for PC is the king of driving sims, nothing is going to top that
for a while.. if i'm gonna sit infront of a console driver it's gonna be
