->Graphics 9/10
Stunning. Not as good as other racing games like NFS: Underground or Rallisport Challenge 2 but good anyway. I actually got rear-ended and lost my left brake light. Great effects. You even choose your own helmet color, license plate city, and your license number or you can put a name on your license plate. All is visual during play.
->Sound 10/10
Hundreds of different style songs. A buch of real life DJs each have their own play-lists. Each city has different radio stations. If you don't like that music you can always revert to your own custom soundtracks. The car effects all sound different (Believe me, there are TONS of cars)
->Control 10/10
Nothing wrong with it. Default Left trigger is Brake, Right Trigger is Gas. Nothing much needed. All flows very well though. A cool feature is that if you press down the right joystick it brings up a very realistic radio at the top of your screen, to see what song is playing on what station.
->Online 8/10
Nothing much new. You can rce in 8-player games which is cool and since you earn/lose points for EVERYTHING you do in a race you can have an XBOX Live ranking. You see where you stand out of all racers.
->Value 9.5/10
I'm not muchof a fan of racing games but for $30 brand-new this is a must-buy. The graphics and sound are worth it alone. But with over 100 cars in 14 classes ranging from the Compact Mini-Cooper to the barely legal Porsche Carrera GT and Saleen S7. There are Compact Cars, Coupes, Convertibles, SUVs, Roadsters, Classics, Muscle Cars, and the - Ultimate class. Some many modes keep you busy for hours at a time. They include street races, One-on-Ones, and a game called speed camera where you must be at a certain speed when you pass a traffic conrtol speed camera. Very fun. All of this takes place in 10 different cities.
