I had fun playing this game, for the first 2 months thought! Its one of those games that you play and complete then you never touch it again!
Although it looks impressive enough, featuring reflections, puffs of smoke and dramatic scenery, as you'd expect from a modern racing game. The arcade stylings are still in place, and whatever car you're driving, the handling largely involves throwing it around the track at crazy speed. The cars are plentiful though, with some 20 featured, including the Lamborghini Murcielago and Ferrari 360 Spider, which will no doubt be of great excitement to Top Gear-loving readers. And unlike in many games, the manufacturers have actually agreed to their cars being damaged, with bonnets and boots often flapping precariously in the breeze.
It also has police helicopters that drop exploding barrels on suspected felons. You can also be the cop, although not in multiplayer mode.
Other than that, it's a passable mix of races and challenges, with a multi-pathed championship mode opening up depending on your success in previous events. While it's certainly an enjoyable and polished arcade romp, ultimately there isn't much to shout about. Its fun while its last but after that there is nothing else you can do and it gets preety boring and repetetive!
Pros:
- Looks great
- Variety of options
- 20 licenced cars
Cons:
- Unexceptional handling
- Seen it all before
