Rating: - As realistic as a driving experience can get. Beats Gran Turismo by FAR

Rating: - rFactor Review
I have only recently begin to play with the racing games,but I just purchased a Logitech G25 Racing Wheel with the pedels and shifter,and rFactor was my first try.I think it is an outstanding racing sim.At one time I raced super stock cars,and this was as close to driving a car as I could imagine.It's a fun game.I have nothing but good things to say about it.It would make a great addition to anyones collection.
BIGEMANN!!
