Exact same game as the original

Exact same game as the original. Slightly improved graphics. FRAME RATE CAPPED. It has been 10 years since its original launch, and its like they haven't considered any of the innovation that has happened since then. All of this could have been done by releasing the DLC and a high res texture pack for the original. Not worth its current price.

Every other time I try to launch the game, it turns into a troubleshooting session

Every other time I try to launch the game, it turns into a troubleshooting session. Sometimes I only have 15 minutes to play, and instead I spend that time restarting the EA app, clearing its cache, and trying to figure out why the game refuses to launch through Steam again. The game itself is fine. The real problem is the terrible Steam + EA app integration. You buy the game on Steam, but you are still forced to rely on an extra launcher that frequently breaks and fails at its only job: launching the game. A constant source of frustration and easily the worst game-launching experience I have ever had.

Not the game for me

EDIT: You can get a logitech G29 wheel working in the game and it is pretty fun but requires jumping through lots of hoops. Turn off steam controller configuration and you will be able to map your controls in game under the unknown device option. It wont let you navigate menus without a keyboard but you can use logitech G hub to map the buttons to the corresponding keyboard buttons making it work. Use G hub to turn down steering range to 200 or so degrees depending on preference and adjust sensitivity up to 50 or so to combat the deadzone. Far from an ideal solution but its very playable and fun with a wheel. For those saying "it's an arcade racing game, why use a wheel?" Umm have you ever been to an arcade or played an arcade racing game? They don't use gamepads, they have steering wheels and pedals. Wheels aren't just for sim racers. While it does play better with a gamepad and doesn't require a ton or tweaks and work-arounds, a good wheel really adds to the fun factor of this arcade racer since its on an arcade cab made for driving games. Original Review: EA has removed steering wheel support from this "remaster" despite the same wheel being supported in the original version. How do you add nothing of value and remove core features and call it a remaster? Refunded and went back to the OG version.
