“@colliny2k well, that is part of why it is fun. It makes next to no attempt to be this super realistic driving sim. I mean, you load it up, play it, and you have fun. I mean, even most super realistic driving sims make a large amount of blatant errors with how cars operate. The biggest example is that as soon as the camera enters the car, the dash board, steering wheel and hood of the car itself are gone. Also it become impossible to do, "mirror, mirror, shoulder, signal, shoulder" in those games in 1st person mode. This and other things that could be deconstructed from these "realistic games" generally just put them as elaborate arcade games. At least when you are putting on a Cruis'n game, you do not have to worry about putting on an air of preteniousness about the matter.

Though, I will note, I have heard this about Gran Tourismo, "all of the really good drivers I know are also awesome in Gran Tourismo"--and this case may have some merit as I have read through some of the stuff given here.

I may need to somehow grab a PS2 just for a copy of this game.”
