After some races in my Camaro I won a 2004 Ford Focus, which I’m now using. I’m not sure where all the talk of difficulty has come from here. The odd red race takes a lot of tries, but most races go down quickly enough. Unlike the 360 version this hasn’t been patched, so maybe the difficulty was downgraded between review copies and retail copies?

Or maybe I’m just excellent.

Nah. It’s most likely that I have more patience that a reviewer on a deadline, so though we’re both retrying the same number of times, it feels less annoying for me than the reviewer.
