anyone have any reviews on this game?? Thinking of getting it

My 2 cents

Pluses

Graphics are awesome (uses the same engine as GTA IV). Downtown LA is mapped out really nicely

Soundtrack is very good

Car physics are really good - the weight of the cars have big effect (try 2 wheel a S14 around the corner and it will roll)

Customisation is good

Day & Night cycle affects traffic volumes

Online racing is good and not too laggy (Haven't tried it personally but friends of mine have done so)

Minuses

No split-screen mulitplayer - don't get me started on this!

Game can be incredibly hard - some people really complained about this but for me it adds to the challenge (increses frustration but you get a sense of joy when you win)

Game is very terrible "rubberbanding" or catch up logic for you Daytona Kiddes. it helps you but it also pisses you off at the same time

Car/bike collection is not deep enough - 3 bikes is not enough and no too many cars (in comparision to DUB Edition)

At high speed you can bounce off power poles and trees and just slow down but at lower speeds you will be stuck

IMO for a game series that its their first time out on "next-gen" consoles...Its a very good baseline to work on...the next game needs a very deep car collection.

I highly recommend getting the game from the video shop and play with it before you consider buying it

      Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.

      People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
