They should have gone digital (XBLA/PSN) with it and done a $15 game. People just aren't willing to buy games like this at a retail price anymore. They could have easily cut the amount of content some, released it on XBLA/PSN and had a huge install base, but instead they think that failures like Red Faction: Battlegrounds are how all their games will go on a digital platforms.
Hasbro Family Game Night still feels like a ripoff at 400 MSP each. I'd much rather pay 1200 MSP for all the games put together. They're far too expensive on their own.
My only complaint is that they have yet to add rally racing, which is the one thing Gran Turismo has over it. That being said I'm a 360 guy and am going to pick this up. Just wish Richard Hammond and Jeremy May also had a part in giving commentary for the game. Clarkson is awesome but sometimes his commentary feels the reused. It's the same quips and vocal inflections.
@CrashTunoku Microsoft didn't pay for any exclusivity. It's published by 505 Games, and it's not North America-specific. The PSN version, however is Europe only.
Days of Thunder was such a disappointment for even what I expected to be a bad game. It was awful, but you could see traces of greatness there. It didn't have to be terrible, they let it be.
