Shortlived mixed bag of fun!
The real Star of the showdown is its multiplayer. its hugely addictive with a lot of variations. you have old events like transporter and new smash n grab events too. as usual racing events are there too. all the disciplines like Everything, Party, Raceoff, Hoonigan and Demolition are well crafted and fun to enjoy.
Singleplayer is kinda short. only 60 events. the AI puts up a decent fight in Hard mode. Singleplayer could have bee much better but it seems like the codies didnt bother it too much. its still fun though.
Overall graphics is as usual impressive. Gameplay is u know, totally arcade and yeah its enjoyable. there are occasional bugs i faced, where ur car gets stuck in ice or in debris so u cant get out, though its not much of an issue.
Considering the content, it definitely does not deserve to be $50 game. it should have been around $30-35.
Overall yes it was kinda milking out game from Codies but it provides fun and excitement. the Multiplayer is real blast and will keep u glued for hours!
