A highly refreshing racer, rent this one out for a couple of nights though...
The biggest letdown id say though is the multiplayer side of things, thats why i say its best for a few days rent instead. Unless your the social gamer who takes their time, then sure its definatly worth a buy.
Multiplayer has minimal interaction with other players, you cant do 8 players against each other (eg hitting each others car racing..) only stage like racing from what ive seen so far...
There are no longterm multiplayer acheievments so nothing to keep you going, and the statistics for online is poor.
The graphics are amazing, music is good (menu only), racing feel is speedy especially when racing from bonnet or (if you can see) in car mode. feels a bit slow from 3rd person p.o.v
Single player mode is absoultley great!!! will take some time, but not death like time, so yeah the "few days rent" instead of a one nighter (ive played about 6 hours on my first night rent tonight and got 220gamer points .. for an estimate)
The game is great,
