So, I was wondering if this is a game that I could be successful at playing. I've played a few other simulation racers before; most notably Forza 3 and NFS: Shift. I love the feeling of being able to successfully get my car around a track without humping a wall for half the race.
I was able to start to turn off a lot of the assists in Forza 3 but NFS: Shift really frustrated me. In both games I was never able drive with manual transmission (I've only ever done that in real life with a motorcycle) as it felt very awkward. I'm sure if I had spent more time with Forza 3, I might have been able to work my way up to manual transmission.
Now the question is: Is this game approachable or am I going to spend countless hours humping a wall and feeling unmanly for poor driving? Is it possible to learn how to race with a stick in this game? Would I be better off just looking at pretty pictures of cars on the web?
