Not very difficult, but strange to see a game that is all about realism does not have a default &#8220;wheel&#8221; setup.<\/p>\n<p>The game is difficult. I did my fair share of Forza3, Forza4, Shift, Shift2 and Forza Horizon, but this game is unforgiving. Like it is in real life of course. Bump into a wall, and basically your race is over, since your front wheels are damaged or maybe worse: you totalled your car. I cranked down the difficulty a bit, but even then the game is very hard.<\/p>\n<p>Probably because it&#8217;s an older game, it does not support FullHD resolution. The closest is 1280&#215;800 or 1280&#215;900. Still the game looks great when you modify the graphics details to HIGH.<\/p>\n<p>For the price on Greenman, don&#8217;t think twice and buy this game if you&#8217;re into racing games.
