Whether the racing is taking you by strom, or you are just storming to race the game. It is partially storm in a teacup. The game itself does look good, and as a first hour release it is good, but this game is too fatalistic in it's design. Too much a hyped version of Mario Kart. Almost like Mario meets Mad Max and races for the title.
The part i like is the non realistical race fun. realistic enough to not let me get away with all kinds of stunts, but still fun enough to let me do things i would never survive in traffic. So, here is am racing and having fun. Yes, this game really is fun, but the hype around it, especially some sales people going nuts over this is a bit much.
the graphics are a lot closer to PC graphics then too console graphics, but that is not a let down. This game does make me wonder what a game like Gran Turismo 5 would be able to do with a console like this.
