It's not being punished because it's not easy, it's being punished because you can spend an entire race in the lead, taking short cuts, drifting turns, then lose it by 3 places by some annoyingly timed items. Whats the point? If your good enough to be in the lead the whole time, why are so many reviewers getting screwed at the end? I've heard this complaint from plenty of people, only the die-hards say otherwise, and well guess what percentage of those who picked up the game aren't die-hards. For something so silly I think it should be docked massive points, it would be like playing a fighting game where you could take the same guy down to 1% health then he just becomes invincible. That would annoy the piss out of me to be in the lead for 99% of the match and come in 4th.
From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.
