the drag racing is kind of poorly created. if you are doing test and tune, it loads and the clocks already ticking. there's no prep, there's no launch, you have to be on the gas before it's done loading. pretty boring. cool feature, just not done well.

I agree it's poorly executed, and I hope they spend a little more time and make it closer to Pro Street, too. It isn't totally accurate, but it's the best that I've played and my benchmark. I like the burnout, staging, and you get all the good information, like 60', RT, etc. I really liked that aspect of that game. The real-world times are just rediculous, too.

I do hope they fix that, because otherwise, I don't have many problems with FM3. I play it more than I do the "other" simulator...

Aside from that, I really hope Turn 10 focuses on aspects that are in more dire need of attention, like the lobotomized multiplayer, unrealistic drivetrain swaps (all-wheel drive '69 Chargers, '99 Vipers and 2010 Shelby GT500s? Seriously?), a flawed PI system, race modes simplified to the point of being a joke(drag racing comes to mind), bland interface, and various bugs/glitches that come to mind (vehicle interiors with non functioning gauges/displays or missing said gauges/displays altogether), among other things.

While being able to virtually 'kick the tires' with Kinect does sound somewhat intriguing (actually using it while driving in-game sounds a bit more hokey), I hope they don't sacrifice addressing the above issues just for the sake of implementing its use in the game...

Those drivetrain swaps were pretty rediculous on certain models. Though - now that I think about some of them, I believe productions cars were offered in AWD... I just don't recall for sure... I would sure like functioning gauges and active spoilers, though. It'd be nice to see some features the "other" simulator has come over to FM4, but there's not much that would really make it too big a deal for me. I know I'd like more tiresmoke, and I LOVE, that I have a clutch button.

There are certainly some areas where I think FM4 could approve on FM3, I'm more excited for the release than I am to play my "other" simulator. After all the hype, it's really almost a disappointment for me. On the whole, I seriously like FM3 better; at least that justified me buying the 360 strictly for that game, lol. I don't really feel the Kinect feature on FM3, yet, so I'll hold off 'til I see what it does on FM4.
