I've started autocrossing in the summer, and to try and fulfill the need for speed in the winter I decided to try karting. Going fast, hard turns that pin you to the side of the seat and a bit of friendly contact.
I went with a group of friends - 7 of us to be exact went to Top Karting in Gatineau. Our driving experience ranged from someone who doesn't have their drivers licence yet, to others who autocross and go to track days.

The first time you pop the Blu-Ray Disc into the PS3, the game loads data to the hard-drive to make load times quicker. I wouldn't mind this so much if it actually made an improvement over previous version of the game. I guess my expectations for load times are too high. After the loading is completed, you jump directly into a game. This I really appreciate. No messing around with menus and selecting different modes, get right down to the action.

Whenever you are 'close enough' to a race location or mission, a pop-up at the bottom of the screen allows you to jump right in.

A few other things I liked about the game are:
