So I rented Project Gotham Racing 4 to get my speed fix on, but I was surprised by the number of races that required me to slide around the track. Yes, they stop the time whenever you drift or do other stunts, and it is impossible to win without doing this on the straights. Yes you must drive slower to win. Forza didn't hold me longterm because the lack of tracks making the races too similar. Gran Turismo is still months (years?) away. Competition should be intense in this genre, Gran Turismo 4 sold over 10 million copies. Noone wants a piece of the action? I guess developmental costs are way above other games since hundreds of cars need to be licensed and modeled. They must pay a large legal team to oversee these deals. I wonder if lawyers in Japan make as much as they do in the US. Hmm. I hope the next game they ship to me is Resident Evil 5, I needs me some coop action.
