This is insane! I mean speeding up a vertical ramp and then...WOOO!!!!
The physics is great, and the damage done to your car can be hilarious at times. Like the car hopping it's way to the finish line due to critical damage, or another car that seems to be running fine when all of a sudden it spins out of control and, if lucky, starts to barrel-roll at high speed. Ramming into another car is pure satisfactory, you ALWAYS try to find an excuse to crash into the next Hummer coming 'round the corner. And if that's not enough, your car can come out of the garage with a few additions. I won't spoil it for you but here's a hint : Don't be surprised if you see a missle fly past you.
Speaking of Hummers, there are also other cars to choose from. Some look so damn familiar except the name isn't actually there, like the 4x4 Pick 'em Up. You'll look at it and say "You know...that looks just like a Dodge". The developers were crazy at what vehicles they picked for us to drive, I swear the one that looks like a Civic Type-R is the best. Especially when you start to modify it.
Oh...modify you ask? Yes sir! We have it all! Spoilers, Rims, Hoods, Vinyls, Paint job Front and Rear Bumpers etc. Heck it's Need for Speed : Most Maniac here!
The tracks are so bug, that you's swear you could build yourself a little town with highways and all, well that's possible! Not only are there plenty of tracks to choose from but the Track Editor lets you build a freakin' city! It's so easy to use and the problem with it is that once you get to know how to use it...you'll be up 'till 3 am creating huge and crazy tracks.
The graphics are something to be pleased about too, I didn't expect it to look THAT pretty. The game is so well detailed that one of the exotic cars has an interesting message when you slam on the brakes, trust me you'll keep doing so to have a laugh at it.
The game deserves an 8.9, can't go TOO far as to there are a few things to note : Sometimes when you watch the replay of any race you've played, it looks...strange. Meaning it sometimes looks like it's lagging, and to think the replay is playing from your local hard disk...
But thank god that's the only problem I noticed, I think all the game needs is a 40 MB patch and then I would've given it a 9.1
Excellent game for those of you who love TrackMania and TM Sunrise, this game will give you the devil's smile in no time!
