How can you defend it? Have you even played it? In one player mode, the difficulty gradient is so hard that I consider some of the challenges impossible. Anyway, if they're going to add the 'Nosliw' cheat, why should I even want to play it? Including cheats like 'Nosliw' just makes me want to play the game less. I don't actually play the game in one player anymore.
I expect the 'realism' of the game is probably what makes it so unplayable. I have so far found one track which I can say I really enjoy. It's in Central Park and it's called 'The Pretzel'. When you are driving on the gravel, it takes a lot of effort to keep going in a straight line even with the good cars and you often bounce over the bumps. I like it because it is very unreal, especially compared to the rest of the tracks.
The fact that it's so much like a simulator kills the game, in my opinion. I recently saw an advert for an F1 game and it's selling point seemed to be that it was very close to realism. Why do people think we want realism? It's overrated. I want to drive an anti-gravity craft and get powerups by speeding over coloured squares. That's why any Mario Kart or WipEout game is infinately better than PGR.

I think the only real problem in PGR is the difficulty level. I would have enjoyed it a lot better if you could adjust it, otherwise it is a rather enjoyable game for me.
