Anyone play this? If so, how is it?

From what I've read, I'm thinking about picking it up. I've never really been into the "arcade" racers, I'm more of a Gran Turismo fan. I heard this is the closest NFS has gotten to a "simulation" racer. The guys that made the GTR series helped make it. IGN said the sound is "AWESOME" which is something I feel most racers lack. The graphics looks pretty good too and the car lineup isn't bad either.
 
for me it was confusing, like you gotta use a clutch and shift into a gear manually while driving, it was confusing at first but then got easier, but my comp when played the graphics sucked for some odd reason.
 
This game looks really fun if you have the steering wheel+pedals and a massive TV or monitor.
 
I played the demo last night, it was very cool! Especially the "in car" camera. The sounds were also very cool, very loud and authentic. You can definetly tell that the makers of GTR made this game. I can see how NFS fans might hate this game as it is WAY different than the previous games. It is more like a mix of GRID, Gran Turismo and NFS. The car lineup is pretty small compared to other racers but there's still a bunch of cool cars. I think I'm going to pick this one up!
 
It was impressive, but it didn't feel like an NFS game - in fact, the whole experience felt, oddly enough, disconnected. I'm guessing it's because the game is practically begging to be played with a wheel, pedals, and feedback of some sort.
 
Well i was thinking about getting this, but if its a more realistic then maybe not...

im not into realistic driving simulators.
NFS:MW and NFS:UG is where its at.

I'll have to try out the demo before i can give a real opinion.
