The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

You feel like a real team principal, making tense split-second strategic calls under the roar of engines.

What players say

Players praise the deep management and new My Team mode, though many report PC crashes and annoying bugs like driver contract notifications not updating. Some feel race results are rigged and the car development system is too complex for casual fans. The series has been discontinued, but the community keeps it alive with mods.
