I bought this game shortly after ND4SPD did and i must say, it certainly seems like NFSU. I've played GT3 before (i have xbox) and to me it seems nothing like it. The RWD, AWD/4WD and FWDness of it seems acurate enough, although the steering seems almost AI/Computer controlled in the middle of a braking drift. This is especially true for the RX7 R1, where i'd be in the middle of a drift and i notice the wheels in-steering forcing me into a spinout when i was clearly holding the thumbstick opposite of that. I've mastaered drifting on NFSU, Sega GT 2002, Project Gotham Rascing 2, and even EA's F1 2001 (which btw was a pain in the ass, still no Gilles Villeneueve tho), and i must say, the braking drift vs. emergency-braking drifting in it is quite different in SRS compared to other titles. dont forget the twtchy and tight steering (on Xbox anyway) that reminds you of NFSU, but then you dont get the high-speed cornering and rush of NFSU so theres no need for that screwy steering. right now im 50% done, and btw, take the AI extremely seriously, they know theyre cars are repaired after each Iron-man round and they use it against you. Just voicing my opinion, G.
