Pros:
-God Turismo is back, every other racing game is now redundant.
- Events are varied and they let you amass a large collection of cars since 1 car can't be used in every race
-Two different driving modes, one is for old school GT players, one is for new players and neither seems to give an advantage over the other.
-Online seems solid enough
-Nissan GT-R '07 is not an unreachable price
-Ferrari F1 Car is 2,000,000 Cr., something to strive and just after
-Fantastic amount of content
-Game looks amazing, the cars are detailed, the tracks are detailed and even the animation for the gear change is smooth.

Cons
-Offline multiplayer can only be played with cars you own.
-It's a dick tease
-While Online play is fine, there's no voice chat or friend invites yet, so it's currently Wii level online. Polyphony have said they will add this.
-Rear view mirrors, while good, could be better.
-Not a big deal, but no damage, and Polyphony Digital have confirmed it won't make the Prologue, but will make the full game.

you forgot this:

Con: damn stupid penalties annoy the hell out of you and say you cut the corner when you went off the track (Fuji Speedway is the track).

One thing annoys me, and maybe a few more. You can't go online without applying the update, and the update always ends with a download error.

I'm now attempting my 10th try.

Lucky number 13. You can't go wrong with that.

[Romanc]

Actually, you were right! It finally went through! All systems are go!

Now you just have to hope it was worth the effort.

Luckily, it cache's the data so you don't have to redownload it, no matter what the bar shows. It's a pain though.

Off topic, but while I have you here. I'm guessing you don't plan on participating in the Resistance tournament? Plus you should join at Tick - Tech - Home unless you have already done so under a clever alias.

I won't be joining the Resistance tournament as I won't really have time, but I will hit up Tick-Tech at some point in the not too distant future.

Good. That way I can ban you for not having time to be in the Resistance tournament.
