It's actually so much better than I thought it would be. GTA is known for being a 'gangster simulator' or a 'crime simulator', so I wouldn't have expected anything amazing. However, the racing is quite good and challenging. The online part of it is great, as you race against other players, and it gives good rewards. The handling is smooth, and I don't accidentally turn 95° just by slightly moving the joystick. Racing is not the main thing I do in GTA, as that's not what the game is for IMO, and if I wanted to race I would play other games. However, if some friends want to race or if I feel like it, it's pretty good.
