No, it doesn't offer the option to install "while you play" it offers the option to install parts of the data on-demand.

No matter what option you choose you're going to be waiting around for 50 minutes.

Any reason you guys have posted about this game and not F1 2010, which is based on a far more popular racing series?

This game is actually very good and was a retail release in Europe.

It's based on the Superstars racing series from Italy - basically a bunch of privateers and wealthy types hire a professional driver and go racing.

It's well worth $19.99 and the gameplay is far more fun than anything I've ever experienced in a GT title so far.

F1 2010 was released THIS YEAR by this very company. Why no coverage Joystiq?

It was easily good enough to warrant a review.

Can we just have a car and track list plz?

Is Activision determined to drive its best studio - Bizarre Creations - into the ground?

They came up with Blur - easily the best arcade racing game of the past few years and thanks to no real marketing effort from parent co, it tanks.

Same thing happens this week with 007 Blood Stone, outsold by a remake of a decade old game on a console which is barely superior to the machine on which it made its debut.

Of course GT5 is going to take longer to develop than F1 2010 - a game with hundreds of cars is always going to take longer than one which is only ever going to have 24.

For me, a game which is fun to play will always win over a game that has a lot of content but which is less fun to play. The sense of speed and handling are far superior to anything GT has ever presented in the past.

Okay Joystiq, you posted something with Sebastian Vettel in it, but why, why, why have you completely avoided posting anything about F1 2010?

In my opinion it's easily the best sim driving game of the past few years. It's far more exciting than Forza or Gran Turismo and it's based on the highest profile racing series in the world.

So, why no review or coverage whatsoever?

The EU PlayStation blog already said this fresh delay meant that it would still make it before Christmas.

Much more reliable source than these general retailers.

The company that makes this game is based in Dundee, UK and laid off a bunch of staff recently, just like its neighbor Realtime Worlds.
