I have never heard of this series before & only for £10 on amazon you would expect it to be crap but thats not the case. It is made by BLACKBEAN & MILESTONE who also made "Evolution GT" which was an amazing racing game for pc. http://www.amazon.co.uk/BLACK-BEAN-Evol ... 303&sr=1-2
Something they have nailed in Superstars V8 is the wet weather. This is what GRID is missing. The control of the car in the wet is so realistic and especially in the rear wheel drive cars like the BMW & Jaguars. The damage is a bit iffy, if you hit the wall @ 100+mph then reverse out your bumper will hang of slightly. The tracks are mostly if not all European so if you follow European racing (DTM, WTCC) then you will recognise them. It has real drivers in it like ex-F1 driver Gianni Morbidelli & ex-WTCC drivers like Luca Rangoni. This game is purly tourning cars & i think thats why i like it so much.
An enjoyable 7/10 for me
