This game could get at least 9 out of 10 if in patch all the issues are assessed that were mentioned to developers based on the demo. There will be a demo patch as well as a game patch so be sure to check them out.
Graphics is just beautiful with all new DirectX 9 features and runs perfectly on lower machines as well. Consider me playing in (although low resolution) with all effects turned on and set to maximum with AMD 2000+ 512M RAM and GeFroce 4 Ti over 20 FPS. The graphics is not a glimmer sparkling NFS style but rather lifelike.
Unfortunatelly the car's handling has some major bugs that will be addressed but until then the geame is half way between arcade and full simulation.
Sounds are a low part of the game but can be changed easily just like the music. You will only need to copy your mp3s into the appropriate library.
The physics is just amazing. Well it should be after 1nsane, and Street Legal series, but the handling of cars ruins the fun. But even the ruined fun is way more than with other games of the genre and considering that it could easily get even much more fun with a little patching I advise all to pay attention to this game.
