Would you recommend this game to others? YES, specially at it's cheap price. I did not expect anything special, but it's something else!

How many hours have you spent playing this game with the Falcon? 4 HOURS

Your overall experience with the game (Design, originality, etc.). I was surprised at how many options/car customizations were in this game. It really feels like a pro rally game like GRIP, and is WAY BETTER THAN Sega Rally! Great, long tracks, lots of cars. Career, Quick race and multiplayer mods. Everything is there.

Describe what you like/dislike about the Falcon's use in the game. It feels SO realistic. While turning and accelerating, you feel good forces, yet it's not hard to drive with them. Since it feels like a real car, you can FEEL the sweet spot where you stick to the road : those forces actually help control the car. A nice touch is the physics felt through the Falcon. Bumping in things feels ok, but road surfaces are incredibly realistic. After driving in gravel, hitting the smooth asphalt generates the right feeling. You know, in real like, the smoothness is a but overwhelming: I'VE GOT THE SAME BUZZ FROM THE GAME

Any other comments? I INSIST, if you think it's another Newton's Monkey Business, YOU'RE 100% WRONG! Go get this game. It really shows qualities of the Falcon you would never find in FPS games.

Would you recommend this game to others?
Yes, indefinitely. For anyone that has a Falcon, this game is a MUST own!

How many hours have you spent playing this game with the Falcon?
So far I've racked up about 20 hours or so.

Your overall experience with the game (Design, originality, etc.).
As Oli said, I too was surprised at the sheer amount of customization and options in the game. Lots of tracks, lots of cars, various modes, and the game is nice to look at. I like.

Describe what you like/dislike about the Falcon's use in the game.
Everything happening on the track can be felt through the Falcon. Whether it be bumps, crashes, or jumps, its all transmitted into your body, giving you a great experience. I did, however, have to take some time to tune the forces. On default settings, I found myself fighting to keep the Falcon in one place; often flying off the track for fear of breaking my Falcon or because it was slipping across my desk. This is where the "ease of use" came down a bit.

Any other comments?
Get it, get it now! However, make sure to take some time and fine tune your controls to suit your environment.

Describe what you like/dislike about the Falcon's use in the game. The falcon makes this great game even better, it's very immersive and the forces feel great. You may want to change them a little bit, but the default settings are very good.
