I think those menus look pretty clean to me? Better than the GT5 menus all over the place.
Agree - nice and clean and easy to follow. I hate games where you have to search everywhere for what you want. Dirt 2 was the worst offender. Shift 2 is annoying with the rotating wheel of options. GT5 is okay - but kinda scattered. Dirt 1, Forza 3 and now it looks like 4 have gotten it right.
