Flawed but Fantastic
Flawed but Fantastic ...

Was eagerly anticipating this game as it promised to deliver over 50 Ferraris to drive on fantastic race tracks around the world.

Positives:
+ Realistic Handling. I own a Ferrari 348 myself and felt the handling was very similar.
+ Nicely detailed tracks
+ Decent (but not world class graphics)
+ Challenging to drive - there is a learning curve for all newbies but the rewards are worth it. Turn off all the assists and the car becomes easier to drive.

Negatives:
- Didn't provide the 50 cars that were promised - future download content were scratched
- System 3 sucks
- Lots of niggling bugs - some of which were addressed in a support pack. But there are a lot of other faults/improvements that are still needed
- AI drives unnecessarily aggressively - if they drove like that in real life, they would be blackflagged immediately and their racing license revoked. Hint: Overtake them on the outside.
- Car sounds are not that great
- Cannot save games / poor replays
- Small customer base - makes it a moot point to get future updates / upgrades.

Despite the many negatives, it is a must-have game if you like realistic driving simulations. Don't buy it if you want an arcade game - you will get bored in two days.

Ferrari Challenge
Great game. it's a little hard at first to get use to driving but once you do, your hooked on it. And the online play makes it that much better.

Great racing game, perfect for Ferrari fans
The graphics in this game are amazing in HD. It's a simulation racing game, but you can instantly jump in and play. Of course you will need to learn how to drive properly, and each car handles differently. When you start off, the only car you are allowed to race with is the F430.

You can play up to 16 people online, and on 16 different tracks according to IGN. I haven't unlocked them all yet. It features all the cars from the Ferrari challenge series, and a mixture of others. It's a great racing game, but isn't too deep. All in all, great for racing fans. I love it because I love Ferrari. If nothing else, it's great on the eyes.
