I don't care about any of the comparisons with any other games, especially GT3, my biggest issue with this game is the fact that you can't just win a race, you have to win it with "style." I don't want to have to worry about getting the perfect slide, or getting up on two wheels when i'm trying to win a race. Other than that, the gameplay is great, having your own soundtrack is a beautiful option, and I'll never make it to the great cars in this because i don't have the patience to learn all the necessary tricks and combos. (I thought that's what skating and snowboarding games were for!)
